Ludwig 0 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Got back from ferreting last Sunday and was challeneged by a neighbour who used to do a bit of rabbiting who started to tell me that in his day he only hunted in months with a R in it. This got me thinking; I hunt all year around and get out more often in the autumn,winter and early spring because the covers died back; but some of my permission is a council owned graveyard and they cut back the ground cover all year round so why not carry on through just to keep the ferrets and whippet in shape. i guess the subject of milky doe rabbits is relevent but this has never been of to much bother to me as the damage the rabbits do in the graveyard is phenomenal. Does anyone else hunt all year round;if so why?and if not why? Cheers Ludwig Edited July 31, 2007 by Ludwig Quote Link to post

Magpie 102 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 My dogs will run what they like through the summer on thier daily walks but, I'd never put a ferret to ground as I just don't like digging on to nests of rabbit kits. Quote Link to post
Guest MOLLY Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Im the same. They will chase the odd one over summer, and the terriers get a few bushing this time of year, but i dont deliberately hunt ie lamping/ferreting untill Sept. ALL animals deserve the chance to breed, a rabbit is no less worthy than a hare/roe/fox. MOLL. Quote Link to post
