Numbers.

[Ideation 8,216]

Also catching low numbers because you got low coney numbers does not mean your a hunting god when you catch one coney like some of THL crew .

 

Rabbit number are a huge factor but if the hunter and his crew be it hunter dogs hawk or ferts on ground holding large numbers would surley be more honed in catching especially dogs lurchers get 20 strikes a night would outperform a lurcher only get a run or two a night.

Also driving around on a quad because your to lazy to walk dosen't make you a "top ferreter" either.

Jealousy, don't make me laugh.......arrogance is even worse.

 

My ferreting partner as a brand new feckin state of the art quad but we never feel the need to use it, kind of the same way I feel about locaters.

 

Even funnier reply sense of humour is defo one of your strong points if I caught as little as you I would walk as well LOL

 

 

ATB Cookie

Tell you what bring you're efficient team down to mine we'll see what your made of, bring your quad aswell(you won't get far on it)

 

You see I can catch 100 rabbits a week if I felt the need.So wipe that chip off your shoulder mate.

Put a few post on here with a few rabbits and youv'e got more folk trying to bum days out with you than flies round sh*t .

But to get a few you must know what your doing or else there slipping nets and coming out missed holes ?.

Going to be really honest here mate,,

 

I` ve read a few of your posts now,, and you really strike me as a bawheed arsehole.. you have too much to say about others and you really seem to think that the sun shines oot yer own arsehole,,

 

 

Anyway

 

If the ground holds very little and you have the skill to extract a few,, then you are a talented ferreter in my book,,

 

If they are falling out the holes into the nets cause the ground supports it,, then you are lucky,, little else.

You maybe correct I never been too worried about what others think of me and if somebody thinks I am bawhead arsehole so be it .

 

I tell other what I think on here and in life face to face I tread on members toes and others but the main reason that pepole think I am a areshole is I am telling the truth .

 

I alway shocked by the responce of members when they ask a question and in this thread ad the words discuss

 

 

So I ad my thoughts to thread and I am attacked.

 

And to say I am aresehole based on reading a couple of posts from me is maddness I never base my thoughts of anybody till I meeet them in the flesh and I never have a hatred of somebody so strong as to call them a arsehole over the internet.

 

As I would rather be called a arsehole to my face after somebody spending time with me.

what i wil say cookie at least you get of your lazy ss to get decent land and aork your dogs but to me rabbits well done it since we were ten 12 no big deal , never will be , unless your getting agood wager out of them and have to do it on the spot lite ,

[DeepEarth 104]

Do you have to be dyslexic to read whin's posts?

 

Regarding the thread, I think that to judge someone's ability to catch rabbits; you need to look at their ratio of rabbits seen/ bolted to rabbits caught. But also you need to add into the equation what land you are hunting, with woodland and hedgerows obviously being a lot harder to catch rabbits in than open warrens in the middle of horse paddocks.

 

Usually though, the 'seasoned' hunter will have aquired enough rabbiting spots so that if they do with to catch a bit haul of coneys, they can.

 

There's my crock o' shit anyway.

You don't how many I catch mate so your statement above holds no substance, getting numbers is no indication of a ferreters skills.

 

You seem to think a lot of people are under your lofty assumptions, rather childish for a man of your advanced years.

I dont think jonny and friends catching two coneys equals mass murder LOL

You're really funny you are, actually I'm just a virtual hunter so 2 rabbits is an exaggeration.

 

[lksopener 105]

Cookie its not always about numbers, some lads and myself included in that don't feel the need to come on after every day out posting trip reports.

 

Where you not harking on about how many thousand pigeons you have shot this year as well?

 

People aren't interested mate.

 

Look for a pat on the back elsewhere because the lads on here won't blow smoke up your ass.

This topic has gone sideways

 

My initial post was about the fact that you can't judge a ferreting teams efficiency just by the bag at the end of the day, that was all. Been on plenty of land that any idiot with a ferret and some nets could walk away with 20-30-40 rabbits, but to be honest it's fairly boring mechanical ferreting. I'd rather hunt the rabbits up and take the dozen instead.

 

Then cookiemuppetandmerlin jumped up telling folk that unless they hit big (ish) numbers then don't bother posting any write ups - as no one wants to read them . . . . . . ? and generally trying to belittle people.

 

Then Whin did his usual. . . . .. 'in my day, when we were feeding the whole village through the harsh winter of 1806, i was catching more rabbits than anyone has ever, cos i'm the best, but i'm also too 'real' to tell anyone about it, or share any photos / stories. But just remember i am the real deal and none of yous are!'

 

Got to love THL - where everything becomes a cock measuring contest.

 

Enjoy your hunting chaps, that's meant to be why we do it.
