brookie many a time mate spent the night in aber cells one night for being careless stupid or to brave call it whatever .. say what you want about keepers good or bad but when they are good at their job theres plenty of surplus game about to be had. them days all the estates in a 40 mile radius were heavily keepered and loads of game about .now not so much money so not so many keepers and this all adds up to not much about to run like there were in those days .

pop over the border to hereford ,they love the welsh there.

Ye cheers mate I often do graet hunting there and always a warm welcome :-)

yeah you certainly do get a hot welcome lol. mind you not as hot a welcome as around oxford area daytime now that place is a warm welcome .pmsl.

Have you hunted around Banbury not to far from Oxford that used to be great sport over there till they started to get range rover 4x4 cop vecheils. Permission or not they came over even before the ban

yes been escorted back to the m4 many a time way before the ban came out .tbh they were always ok as long as we were polite and sensible and we only ever walked never drove the feilds .

yeah sounds about right lol

I have land that is close to the Forrest just outside cannon pine, it holded ok nothing amazing but nothing special, I still see big herds of bambi tho. But rarely walk it now, Leominster used to be ok and by steens bridge that used to hold hare well but now coppers and farmers are in partnership to stop the coursing so gotta go at night or not at all. I got two farms close to cannon pine that mixy destroyed won't see a rabbit any kind of night

I've got land in Hereford mate, and in Morton and cannon pine all near each other, plus have land Evesham, pershore , upton , little other side of Worcester by rushwich, and loads around Gloucester where I come from. Just when I go local up the mountains like company, I will be honest I do hunt with someone local here and there but he's hardly out at night and only really ferrets once or twice a week, not my cuppa so when I do go local would be good for some good company plus with way terrain it is don't fancy having an injury and being on tod up there as your be fecked lol

it used to be rotten around morten and marden especially in marden i remember once down by the railway house in marden i done 17 rabbits in one field in the seats with the catty .now youd be lucky to see 17 all over there cannon pyon was another good spot as well loads there and plenty of hares there .a couple of years ago by the kenchester church around both sides of the road me and a lad called kieth whos got a fair bit of permiss around there had i think it was 85 from there but thays wiped out now .theres a few lads there i know in the village are out 24/7 every day and night of the year no matter what the weather plus theres another couple up the road doing the same thing so its bound to take its toll on em .through morten into sutton was another good spot myself and one of my sons had one bit of a night there last year we had 30 from there and there were a few hares about there as well but they seem to have all gone as well. .on down the road from there past the cemetery onto the main road behind the cross keys pub and around the fields either side there used to be loads of game there .but theres boys at it all the time. its a case of travelling further a field now .to find numbers i love my sport and have done all my life but i struggle to get into it if the numbers aint on the ground i travelled hundreds of miles last season sometimes driving for four hours to go lamping out all night then four hours drive home .but great sport when your into big numbers .theres still a few hotbeds around south wales where numbers can be had but not many .one place is portcawl bridgend and ogmore theres plenty to get at there both on the merthyr mawr and tyhegstone estates and around pyle there used to be a few .ogmore golf club was another spot it was rotten up there a few year back

 

I know some of that land you are referring to there Brookie I'm going to have to look further afield for land as a bloody national property company is about to purchase some of my land on a compulsory purchase order

brookie many a time mate spent the night in aber cells one night for being careless stupid or to brave call it whatever .. say what you want about keepers good or bad but when they are good at their job theres plenty of surplus game about to be had. them days all the estates in a 40 mile radius were heavily keepered and loads of game about .now not so much money so not so many keepers and this all adds up to not much about to run like there were in those days .

talking about keepers there was hot ones on whitfield in them days .theres not a field on there i aint walked but you had to be sharp .you couldnt waltz around there with the lamp shining all over the place nor get on there much before two in the morning .there were always big bags of rabbits to be had around there .good lamping ground it was thick grass with thick tight hedges .cockyard abbeydore ,clehonger ruckhall .they all surround whitfield estate .and the other side of the road kilpeck and wormelow and over to hoarwithy through to brockhampton which was red hot then .with plod and keepers but it always added to the fun in them days .i could tell some storys about being run around there .and yarkhill a nd much marcle .kempley .and the good ole perristone estate .ive never seen rabbits like there were on perristone estate boyo .i remember trevor put the light around the first field we got into and it was like red embers spread all over the field were the eyes shining and all of em just sat there hundreds of rabbits every where field after field .that place was red hot then .we had bad chases from there .i didnt go one night .and mod trevor and peter went .peter was driving an escort van .they took mod cos he had that very good rough bitch skip and she was always good for 30 quick rabbits .do you remember those thick rimmed glasses that mod used to wear .well they are out on the land and it comes on .trevors gone and peter . mods glasses fall of and he cant find em he gets onto the road puffing and panting runs to an escort van jumps in and says thank f**k for that go go go .the daft fecker had jumped into the police van .another time his glasses fell of in goytre being chased and he ran straight into a wall knocking himself senceless .

like that story brookie had afew good escapaeds my self with a biker mate who lost is glasses as ohesis came of tree and hit him bit of a palaver ,ye all the best ground was properly keeperd im afraid nowadays in some areas you would need to look for a proper keeper lol

[TOMO 26,248]

good story that brookie, i always like reading stuff like that,

and your right whin, you would have to look hard for a good keeper these days

[whin 463]

some of them think im the keeper lol as im about more than them ,had a few offers to keeper there land but not got time , got enough to look after the land i got lol ,the old wildlife crime sqaus [bANNED TEXT] to roam etc has decimated areas were proper keeperimg was practised and hares have took a downward turn in some areas rabbs to to many foxes weasels stoats etc a proper keeper would be pests at bay
