darbo 4,776 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 very good post. some people put themselves on a pedestal met a few like that over the years. im coming up to 50 in a few years i love going on the mooch/ferreting on land to be honest that does not have big numbers. the rabbits are hard earned. but i certainly enjoy it the same as when i first started with dogs 26 years ago.if youngsterscan be introduced to the sport and be given good experience thats great in my book.

The thing is, i am at a point now, where i feel that the current line up of my usual ferreting team men / dogs / ferrets wise can pretty much catch as many rabbits as are put in front of it. Lots of rabbits on the land, lots caught, then no rabbits. But the thing is, i like a good hunt nowadays, not just walking along a flat field by a hedge mechaniclly pulling bunnies out of holes. Dont get me wrong i love bolting a shit ton of rabbits, dogs and men flying everywhere, especially the sens of satisfaction when you have bolted a dozen rabbits from a set and missed none. But id really rather have a good mooch out through the woods, letting the dogs do what they want and pulling out the odd one they run in or come across to ground, and hope for a few decent runs and hunts, maybe some mixed quarry. And aye, ferreting with kids is great. Ferreting as a kid was great, you cant lie, it was way more fun Link to post
Guest cookiemonsterandmerlin Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Intresting reading Jai Yes I know some is aimed at myself you think I talk BOLLOCKS your words not mine. But I agree with your summary but internet is a free place and some comments I dont agree with and other I do same as any other THL member do I get my knickers in a twist and start PM Mods to complain about certain members comments about myself no I dont . Just because one shares there views on certain subjects or if they catch good numbers does not mean that they should equally get shouted down either as been the case also on the ferretting section of late. And if any of you want to judge what sort of person or any other member of THL who you appear to dislike on the basis of there posts them more for you. As I sure many members are cracking blokes in real life and less face it the shooting hunting crowd are the most jealousy bunch and jealousy breeds hate which can make others bitch and backbite.

stroller 341 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 there is no right and wrong in this argument, we all have our own reasons for being on this site. i choose not to go on the lurcher bit too much now as its full of tetosterone fuelled nonesense and tends to repeat itself. whereas other bits are much better. Try not to take it too seriously i know that can be difficult i had my young lurcher and a young pointer in training out today hunting cover for pheasent, i had to smile when the bloody lurcher put out 2 pheasent against the pointers 0. So much for well laid plans 2 Link to post
uno 62 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 some folk just take it,and themselves far to seriously,bit of sport for the ferrets and the dogs and a good laugh in good company,thats what its all about for me,iv known numbers mad men and internet heroes and saviours of this an that,they just bore me tbh,hunting was about long before them and will be after they have gone.

ATB Cookie To be honest mate i have nothing whatsoever against you personally, and this post wasn't really aimed at you at all, it was just in general, although it was sparked by reading one members comments. Which im sure most get. The only things which you have said that i have not agreed with are - 1 - Suggesting that no one should ferret without a locator and that if they do they do not care about their ferrets. When in many cases this is not true. I have witnessed folk who very much care about their ferrets, enjoy plenty of days ferreting, catch decent numbers of bunnies and not lose ferrets. Possibly a combination of good luck and judgement. Whatever. 2 - Comparing a person who does not use a locator to someone who chooses to feed bread and milk sops. 3 - looking down on / assuming (and thus taking the piss out of) some members who catch less rabbits than you (to you knowledge). You have to remember, some folk dont post everything they do, and some folk despite being the best hunters in the world, live in areas devoid of game. Either that or they are obsessed enough to have wiped out the game in their area. Apart from that, i enjoy reading your posts and you seem a fairly intelligent and right minded guy. I would have no objection to a day spent in the field with you, and believe me, thats not something i would do with someone who i thought a genuine dick. So hey, no hard feelings.
