[bird 9,947]

suppose if the farmer or landowner bell's you and says got loads of rabbits on the place, what you going to say ,(no) its out of season lol.You will go just to show your face, but you get there and see dozen not his (farmer) 100 lol. But if it no permission, (you could let'em breed abit),unless they really is lots there, but either way comes july august most have got mixy, well they are by me for the last 10 years , and never come back proper.!!

banter??? some folk think there gods of the hunting world and want the rest of us to bow down to them!!

 

Because they knock folk for running bellied up hares, leverets and cubs. . . . . . . . and thinking they are gods of the hunting world . . . . .?

 

Do what you do and try not to worry about others, either way.

You want to seem clue up wat time a yr is stuff bredin now then. I was seein young in october still and seein young leverets in decem. Our climate not like it was 20yrs ago everythin change and so shud our seasons imo

most folk who give stick , DO fack all in winter they just like to give shit to folk, green eyed monsters has they get called,, iff you go bye the book your dog stops at march,, and starts at sept,, 7 month doing shag all,,, and the half the winter the grounds hard,,, I don't blame no 1 for having a run or 2,,

Very gud view. I used not hunt in sumer but with our so called season it ether 2 foot of snow or bell iron concrete from frost. Last yr I seem it as take it [BANNED TEXT] the [BANNED TEXT] conditions are they. Meanin ground soft, moon down not to warm. My dog will get a spin. If half stuck to there so call code like you said more then half a yr there on sofa

I agree mate we used to ferret a keepered estate a few years back and he wanted you there all the time right through the summer too ...he couldn't give a shit if it was out of season or not as he said if you don't then I will get someone who will ...

Big difference in taking your dogs for a walk every day than actually working them though.

Indeed there is, i have a working dog, that gets worked daily

[fourlurchers 279]

very easy to make exuses and reasons to hunt summertime , bit more difficult to show restraint and respect for some

[coverdogs 888]

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, lets face it lads we have all done it at some time in our lives, who in there right mind is going to drop a young terrier in to a big dog fox when there are a nice litter of three quarter grown cubs two minutes down the road, i know i will be out in the next few weeks with the young hounds to get them started, and just because your hunting something dosent mean your going to kill it, and another thing my dogs cant seem to be able to tell the differance in the seasons, stupid c**ts. atb coverdogs

Daytime mooching stays the same for me year round. I am out 3-5 days a week either morning walks or afternoon walks. Sometimes we see nothing and sometimes we get a few runs. The other days I road walk or trot them along the canal.

 

Ferreting I stick to Sept - March.

 

Lamping I go at least once a fortnight in the summer, keep the ferrets in good grub and keep the dogs keen. We don't go mental, just nip out for an hour. Get 1 or 2 and call it a night. Hardly gonna wipe the coney population out. In winter I like be out 3-4 nights a week. Ground frost permitting of course.

Fecking love it,...and so do the dogs...

 

I watch them having a hunt most evenings,..we don't catch much,... the rabbits/hares usualy make their escape, in much the same way,..I could run a wee stop net or two along the edge of the field,..but I won't....it would spoil the fun...

 

As for paid jobs,.removing rabbits from under sheds/buildings..or culling a few brace, doing damage in a tree nursery, or walled garden,.well, I'll always borrow a ferret and get myself a bit of vonga...£££

 

But,..I can't take the Summertime rabbiting seriously,..and over the years I have found patience to be a virtue...

Start early on in the season,.cram in as much as you can,....and finish hunting/ferreting,.late as possible..

If you only ever walk out in perfect conditions and follow the party line,..your dogs become old, without reaching their full potential..

 

Life is too short,...trust me...
