BS40liam 203 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 just got back in from a quick shine with a mate and absolutely naff all about once again! Over the last few weeks we've been able to get 2 maybe 3 runs but to night saw one rabbit after being out 2 hours! It's shocking! Got a pup here I really want to get going ready for next year but there just ain't anything about and it don't seem like its gonna get any better! Seriously thinking wether to just give it all up before its started and let the lurcher live a life of luxury in front of the fire as a pot licker! Quote Link to post

BS40liam 203 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Haven't been doing the same place mate, we've tried a different place each time and still drawing blanks! There's just no rabbits about Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I think you have to accept that this year is shite, you have to soldier on and do what you can, look for new land and try to safe guard some populations, maybe even re-stock some places (shut the f**k up, before folk start moaning about it being illegal). Hopefully it will get better in the future. Im planning to assess somethings this summer and move in order to get better access to game, even if that means moving over seas, but i have the luxury of no kids or wife. But as morton says you just need to walk more miles, but it is disheartening as f**k, never seeing owt. Or just give up on the bunnys and hares. 2 Quote Link to post

Put in the yardage and its nigh on impossible not to bump into a chase,its far easier to give in and wait for the good times,locations and green grass,do the miles,accept the blank nights and days,then learn were the runs and challenges are,then take advantage of the lessons that the toil puts in. 1 Quote Link to post
