watchman 256 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 lets not worry to much about the type of land im just after a rough figure thats all Quote Link to post
Simoman 110 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 A lot of variables, if you were driving the land in a heavily fox popuated area then 100 was easy(ish) to account for, on foot on similar ground you would be happy to call in and account less than half that, some spots on foot it was easy to see 12-18 in a nights lamping yet not all those would come in to a call, and of those that came in not all would be close enough for a slip and on those that were run not all would be caught, i also had some spots where foxes were persecuted with the rifle so you were lucky to see a dozen a season on that land and they NEVER came in to the call..............All pre ban Quote Link to post
