THE BIG TON... And moster bags

[dazzz 421]

IT looks like the lamping is becoming a numbers game,i think it is more for the ego of the owners rather than the working of the dogs,if lads were to do the big numbers and kept more quite about it ,i believe more respect be given,purely because it does not look like a dig at the lads that may do less

and where on this post have we fecking bragged you complete fecking BELLEND!!!!!

ILL GIVE YOU BELLEND YOU SKINNY f**k as i said no offence ment,lets leave it there aye

I THINK YOU MEAN YOU WILL TRY bellend!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's always been my theory too, ideation,,,, I was asked a similar question a few year back,,, and that's exactly what iI said

 

It's even the same ferreting mate, it's nice to get out and get half a dozen, but the ferrets spend most of the day in the box and the dogs just trotting about. When you get 50, you really get to see the ferrets working hard and the dogs earning their keep, and if that's not why we do it. . . . then i don't know?

 

You can have as much fun, banter and enjoyment of the country side, catching 50 as you can 5. Only with the former, you can hand on heart say, that you know that your animals are good.

Folk who say, i'd rather catch seven hard rabbits then 100 easier ones etc, that's just bollocks. Any dog man would be buzzing like a fridge, seeing their dog lift over 100 rabbits. Its not just the running and catching, in terms of physical demands, but also just having the mental strength to go out again and again and again on rabbits, every minuite or so for hours, without the dog sickening. For this kind of thing to happen requires a number of factors coming together, obviously the land, and conditions and rabbit density plays a big part, but you cant deny that it takes a special kind of dog to handle the repetative nature of it. And not just that, but to do the ton, after doing a very good bag the night before, and still be lamping the third night as well, its just great.

 

The biggest issue is that everyone wants to do it or to beat it, and so when it comes on the internet like this, you sign the death warrent of that land. The next couple of years will see a shit ton of folk visiting those places and soon enough it wont be possible to do those numbers anymore. At least its a bit harder to get to, or it would be like the dales, quick sharp, with everyone and their brother hitting it to try to get the numbers.

 

Aye, its great to tell folk, but i think if it was me, i'd stick to telling the folk i know, and wouldnt foe the life of me, stick the location etc up on THL. That just proper fucks it, and what's gained?

Listen if am saying l would rather catch over 7 local over 100 its because for the 15 years l have lamped the local land l never been able to beat it.Of course anyone would love to see there dog do a ton and for just one dog to it is some going.But most people would rather see there dog catch 20 hard ones that 100 rabbits that have never seen a dog, a lamp but everyone is entitled to there own say.As l have said fair play to the men and dogs

How many 100's have you caught so you can compare???????? How do you know its better to catch 7 than 100??????????

id love to put my dog to the test and see if he could catch 100 rabbits carnt get over 25 here stuck on that number at the moment

Surely it has always been a numbers game?

 

It's great to catch ten hard rabbits, but it's nicer to catch twenty.

 

I don't believe ANYONE who says that they would not like to see their dog catch a van full of bunnys.

 

At the end of the day, we all run dogs to watch them work, and the more rabbits there are and the more they catch, the more you get to see them work, so happy days.

listen mate this was one fantastic trip good company the craic was superb (i think i might have even pissed myself once lol) ive been lucky to have seen a bit in my life

with different types of hunting and fishing in different parts of the world but nothing even come close to this IT WAS FANTASTIC

 

I wasn't doubting that mate?

 

I'm not going to deny i'm jealous

 

But in all honesty, well done, and it couldnt have been done by nicer or more genuine folk (from what i have picked up off the other place).

 

Bloody well done

[Millet 4,497]

A big well done from me.. ..i have only ever seen the ton plus done once that was with 3 dog's and that was hard fooking work over around 6hr's.. not only for the dog's but me and the other's involved..so i dread to think how you lad's felt after 3 night's of that let alone one.. ..and the dog's..weather they where easy or hard the dog's still had to run on 3 consecutive night's.. ..which i am sure they is not many dog's out there thst could do such a thing without a few day's rest..

Well done yet again and keep up the good work..

[Ideation 8,216]

That's one of the most impressive things.

 

Catching one hundred and one rabbits, the night AFTER what would be considered a decent and fairly tough night out, the night before!

fair enough moscow but to break the boredom we did try a couple of other types of hunting before we went on the bunnies and that was an eye opener
