alan626 305 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 u cant see the problem now but give it about 50 or 60 years when there is less people hunting because of these stupit bans thats when we will have a problem the goverment will be begging pest control to sort it out cause of the many problems the country side will have Quote Link to post
Guest busterdog Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) About twenty eight year ago i could take, bolt or dig "whichever" upto 70+ fox a year, since the ban i'de give you a tenner for every fox you see not catch. I struggle unless i've got a dozen or so sets of eyes up and down my area looking out for earths that are being worked. The rifle is no judge of youthfull vigour and can't judge which animal neads to be culled, IMO things have got real hard for our red friend since the ban.

FightTheBan 1,147 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 More and more foxes, hares and deer are being shot every year as lamping with rifles has become ever more fashionable. Lads with dogs are chucking it at a fast rate of knots, around these parts anyway. Very few decent lads left in it, just arseholes. FTB 4 Quote Link to post

jambay5 191 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 The ban has done nothing to help hares/foxes have seen more deer kicking around. all its done for me as a law abiding citizen is make people view me as a criminal which really pis££s me off 1 Quote Link to post

Marvin 193 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Your spelling and grammer are terrible what college are you studying at. Lol have you yet to realise, poor grammar and incorrect use of any form of vernacular is the staple of this site, some words could not even pass as being presented phonetically, the diction is so irrefutably incomprehensible 1 Quote Link to post

skycat 6,173 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Whereas once the farmers were happy to have us on their land to control foxes, they are now very reluctant: wide open countryside, flat land: you can be seen for miles. A lot of farm land is council owned, so any hint of people digging foxes with terriers is likely to be seen as illegal (most of the public have no idea as to the intricacies of the ban/law: even had someone videoing us ferreting the other day because they thought we were doing something illegal!) Night vision has made it much easier for the night shooters. Foxes in such areas are definitely less common, and ten times more difficult to find. Quote Link to post
