weight and numbers

[NEWKID 27,556]

Just go out and enjoy being out, if the dog misses a couple so be it if it nails every run brilliant.

I personally enjoy reading lads posts on here of nights/days out wether it a couple or 100 hung on a fence, just enjoy your dogs lads.

Inbox empty mate.

 

He's getting to run the hallowed land?

 

Surely there is no way he will catch anything up there? Isn't all the game twice as fast, three times as big and four times as smart?

[frankel 2,123]

if you don't keep numbers folk defiantly exaggerate on what they have caught.. whether its a few hundred more rabbits or a dozen more foxes!

If you need to keep tallys and ratio's imo the fun has gone out of it for you and if you carnt tell a good dog to a bad one or average one you ain't much cop yourself. Some people just need to get on with it instead of talking the talk and start doing abit more walking.

 

Romany ( i think) made an interesting point a while ago, he mentioned that he kept tallys of game run and game caught for himself and for all those he had been out with.

 

He said that often, when asked at a later date (years maybe), the dogs owners were often way way out in what they remembered their dogs catching, adding many to the bag.

 

And there is nothing wrong with keeping a count for your own sake. I write down the numbers of rabbits ferreted on every trip, a long with where it was etc, so that i can accuratly tell the land owner and so that i can keep track myself of what land held what etc etc etc.

 

I think thats a good idea mate the farmer will be chuffed end of the year when you tell him that you've taken X amount of his land, I text the land owners after each trip with the ferrets and say what we've had from which field ect to keep him in the picture. Not so much to keep a tally more so they know your providing a service of sorts.

same here pal, around the farm yard where there is a few rabbits we tend to always say to the farmer what we have caught there ferreting. its not impossible to take the odd few on the lamp but it is hard to catch them as they can run through the farm yard! Less they see around the farm the better for us!!

It's all to do with people thinking there dogs are better than others, looks at some of the idiots on here for example bragging there pups are on a 100 rabbits etc. How pathetic just get out there and enjoy it, after all thats what its supposed to be fun and a laugh !

horses, greyhounds,they all try for the best,so whats wrong with trying to get one of the best lurchers,dont you try to put the best dog possible to your bitch when you bred.having a well bred pup is only half the battle the other half is the man,talking of bragging didnt you say your greyhound had caught more rabbits in one season than most lurchers catch in 3,and she was out for 3 month with pups,thats not just bagging i would say its mixed with a bit of bull,you know what they say about glass houses

So what was your last user name then ? Wrote that well before you joined, I was only speaking the trueth nothing to do with bragging !

It's clear there is a massive amount of jealousy over a few on here who clearly have got dogs catching high numbers.

 

I like reading their posts, and It's great to see dogs catching that amount in one outing, well done, but why oh why pick faults with their dogs, owners, land and ratios!

 

[bryson 562]

i have only just started keeping records of what i catch and will carry on doing so there will always be a time when you have a good day only to forget later what the total and what part of the permission you got most from
