What kind of land do you hunt?

[Ideation 8,216]

I'm bored of stomping the same land day in day out, and looking at the same views, as nice as they are!

 

What kind of land / terrain do you hunt?

 

Pictures would be nice.

 

Here are some to kick off.

 

 

Thick Shropshire thorn.

 

 

 

Rare arable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Welsh hills.

 

 

Forestry

 

 

 

 

Some nice shoots.

 

 

The rarest of rare, flat land, fields and hedges, which we rarely see.

 

 

 

 

Mixed woodland.

 

There's more but i've run out of steam.

 

Lets see yours!

move that chair out that field mate, i couldnae bare to look at that chair on 1 a my permissions, a few of the local farmers call me the ferreting bin man im forever picking up rubbish, way i see it is, if im gonna be walking/hunting that land, its 1 of my jobs to look after it

 

got a nice mix a land there mate, i mostly do pasture an small forestry blocks, moorland oh aye an a shed load a hedges

[close 0]

some nice pics there mate i wont get bored there on the wirral here mate hav to travel miles to find permisions like them

Right . . . . the chair. Aye it 'belongs' to a member off here, well at least it did until i broke it . . . . . it's his place to sit and have a cuppa and watch the dogs work. The thing about that land, you would need a jcb and a tipper to carry off the crazy shit you find up there . . . .

 

I used t do a lot of hedges, i grew up doing hedges all day long, and now rarely do any, it's a lot of horsey places, and woodland etc. On most farms / estates the rabbits seem to be in the woods, and the odd one or two in hedges. Odd.

 

I'd give my right arm for some moorland just for something different. The closest we got here is on top of some of the mountains, the rough land, but there are no bunnys just charlie and a few other bits and bobs.

magine breaking the guys chair shocking that, i dont have a problem with a man having a fully functionin chair in a field, to help take the weight off, but to break it, which lets face it makes it nowt more than rubbish, an then just to leave it, is pure an utter vandalism, do you treat the chairs in your house in that way???

 

any time yous ever fancy a trek up to north yorks gee me a shout

[Guest cookiemonsterandmerlin]

We have mostlt large arable land with a good section of chalkdownlands.

 

To extreme wet lowland clay

 

 

too mega soft pure sand

 

 

Too working under a folly

 

 

To massive tracks of OSR

 

A very high percentage of arable with very little woods ATB Cookie

Bit of all sorts really mate, some woodland ground buries, large arable with big hedge rows and some hilly land too, 1 farm we do has a bit of all of it had a few rabbits off there this season

Malt - That made me chuckle mate, the thing is, the bunnys are always in the thick stuff. I look like a selfharmer, my arms are cut to bits Looks like nice land do mooch with a determined terrier, and yours looks like she get in some places

 

RD - Yer i got a telling off about the chair . . . . .you can still use it, but stability is somewhat of an issue. I did suggest that an office chair was perhaps not the best choice in the first place, a nice deck chair would have been a better option. That place is mad, there are some bad dog hazards, including large metal spikes pointing upwards, imbedded in the ground, in a cut out, so the dogs go off the egde and drop into it, and even a fecking cable that goes through the middle of trees (like straight through the trunk) at about dog head height. Fun times. If you can stand having my whippet about, i will take you up on that offer mate, would be good to have a chat and a mooch about. The dogs a twat mind, he even makes me look good

 

Cookie - Looks nice mate, the opposite of what we have, would be interesting, good for ferreting, not much use for mooching about i guess.

Not got many good photos of the land but its all in strips of woodland .plenty of brambles etc. not ferreted on open fields for quite a while now.

The coneys certainly ain't dull pal! I almost cry reading some reports on here with pictures of nice clean buries in the middle of short grass fields.

 

Terrier gets pretty much wherever a rabbit can get. She looks a hell of a state after a good mooch in the brambles though, covered in blood from where her ears get nicked. She's pushed countless rabbits out when we're mooching but my lurcher's too thick to learn to work with her effectively. The 50% terrier in him gets too much and he's always trying to get in after her. Even if I hold him on a slip away from the hedge he's that wound up and determined that he wants to get to where the terrier is working he always misses anything that pops out the hedge anywhere else!

My arms are the same mate, we've been smashed up by the brambles recently, I had a meeting aout a job last week and the whole time I was paranoid because everyone was just looking at the state of my hands.

This is about as rough as it gets for me...Nice open clean sandy ground. But very very deep warrens, I rarely get a handy dig.

Such is life mate. How is his nose? Get another runner and use him as a lanky terrier

 

I know what you mean about the open sets, the chance would be a fine thing
