cocker 2,655 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 you use a stench pipe, a bucket with a lid on with a dead rabbit or chicken in it, with a foot of pipe stuck out the top of the bucket, bury the bucket and the lid and put rocks over it, just leave the pipe stuck about 4 or six inches out of the ground, place it out in the open where you know foxes are about Quote Link to post

joe perthigwynion 1 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 i live on a farm and we have to wait a few days intill the local hunt comes to collect the sheep carcuses we tend to lamp over them for those few days and the lurchers tend to get good runs ( some foxes eat so much in one go the dogs can catch them just trotting ) hope this helps atb joe Quote Link to post
irishnut 297 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 i thought using lurchers was about hunting, not all about numbers. in my opinion baiting an area to lure them in is as much hunting, as sitting in a high seat shooting deer is to stalking. I.E its not 1 Quote Link to post
southcott 9 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 We had the same conversation when i got in last night, i put my rabbit on the gate post , my first of the night, when i came back 2 hours later it was gone, I am still new to the rabbiting game , but wont make that mistake again ! Where i live we have large numbers of foxes in a two our walk i very often see 5 or more , and lots of pigs , I have asked various gun men to take a look but to no avail , Mr fox has wiped out 30 of my hens, this is the worse year i have had with poultry , not going to bother to replace them, Hubbie has a gun but due to his health its very rare he comes out , but i did try staking a large joint of pork ( the deep freeze went wrong ) in our field , but nothing touched it . But they do come running when the dog catches a rabbit, cheeky buggers , and they do like the odd sheep carcass , Think i may try the rabbit in the bin , better practice with the gun first Quote Link to post
