Simoman 110 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Just wondering what you guys would consider a good seasons tally pre-ban on a variety of species, did you keep a record and now the bunny is the only legal quarry available to many of us what would you consider a good season. This isn't a willy measuring thread to talk about big bags specifically as one mans good haul will not be another and there will be many varients including land and quarry available...............

If you were out 4 nights a week during the season Sept-Feb, thats say 26 weeks, so 104 trips in the motor, not including dogs laid off, bad weather,blank nights meaning with 350 foxes you were averaging 4 a night every trip out? Not calling you a liar, but many of the teams i knew out in subarus well before the ban on good land never got anywhere near 350, unless you mean digging/lurchers/shooting etc, even then its more than ive ever know anyone take Quote Link to post

123456 146 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 15 or so foxes, 30 or so hares, say 50-60 bunnies and around 30-40 deer, varying from roe to red but that would be a combination of lamping, coursing, bushing and just generally mooching about 1 Quote Link to post
North east finest 105 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 i would say 50 for a 1 dog a season is a very good season and a decent dog, ive havnt killed that many in 1 season. ive never counted but most foxes in a season id say is about 30 odd Quote Link to post
