Saluki246 1,053 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 There's still a few Frank. But numbers have seriously plummeted over the last 5 6 yrs. I can count how many iv seen last season on one hand Thats a shame, any reason why they have plummeted? I suppose they are a pest, so most want rid? I remember as a teenager, walking from brafield to horton, ferreting here and their and seeing the odd one dead on that road from being hit by a car.. Quote Link to post

And like I say the little bits that are holding is HOT That is a shame the way its gone, as a lad living their then, we went most places hastle free, got chased off land ect, but nothing as bad it is now by the sound of it. The local bobby use to live in hackleton and he was sound, you could talk to him and he would listen, i remember out coursing with a lad from hackleton one early morning, i was stood in a field watching a course, when the farm collie came up to me from behind, followed by the bobby and farmer, i said i was just out for a walk with a mate and his dog and a hare got up, he said we were trespassing and could get prosecuted....the hare was caught and we got tolled to get out and not come back.....after the lad gave the hare to the bobby, as he said he loved hare stew... l Quote Link to post
courseadog 231 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Is there a lot of fallow in Bedfordshire. ...? Warwickshire another place what species are in and around there? Pockets mostly in and around estates Quote Link to post
beast 1,884 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 thats true, but some of the estates are heavily stocked, and you might be surprised how many come onto the surrounding farms at night to feed there have been few roe locally for many years, but i know of a couple of spots where they appeared in last years cold winter, and have stayed on. as has been said, chinese are everywhere and letting the dogs have a mooch is very problematic in certain areas........ 1 Quote Link to post
