bigbailey 90 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I can't understand people on this site, the lad asked a perfectly normal question and for this he had a page of sh*t reply's. Why not educate lurcherman instead. I find that a person who thinks about his quarry is more likely to despatch the animal as quickly and humanely as possible as time goes on. Like someone has already stated, at least you have respect for the quarry you are hunting. If you think like some lads "give as much thought of the game they kill as the everyday person does purchasing packaged meat from Tesco. You will get used to it and the more you learn the easier for you it will become. Think of it this way "Do you eat meat?" If so what would you do if shops and supermarkets did not exist. You would have to catch and kill your own. If you watch many tribesman they pay respect to any animal they kill. It is good to question what you are feeling as this makes it crucial that you do things for the right reasons. Hope this helps Alb 3 Quote Link to post

skycat 6,174 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'll never forget when, out coursing one day, an 'experienced' lurcher man's dog caught a hare: didn't kill it. He'd been in the game for many years, but grabbed hold of the hare and was waving it around his head in triumph with the hare screaming its head off. A young friend I'd taken out for the day was shocked and very angry at the bloke's lack of respect: ran up to the man, took the hare off him and killed it immediately. I'd forgotten this incident until I read this thread, but it left a bad taste for quite a while afterwards at the time. If you're going to kill something, do so immediately and correctly. 1 Quote Link to post

GIBB0 50 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 if it aint going in the freezer its more than welcome to stay alive. killing something for the sake of it makes my blood boil. I wouldn't say I get sad about it. I would say I have respect for the quarry and carry out stuff as quickly and humanely as possible.. 5 Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I have never lost that twinge of regret when dispatching quarry ,when I can kill some living thing and feel nothing then I will pack in . It's funny how certain things make you feel. I've killed a huge number of things, of all kinds of different species, and in a massive variety of ways. . . . . . But someone once told me that doves pair up for life. . . . .and after that I could never shoot doves. I've since found it's not actually true I've also let plenty of things have best after they have given some real good sport. And J.B and I have a bit of a tradition of releasing the last doe we bolt with the ferrets, Had a funny moment sat on a mountain side one year, with the two of us, our soon to be released doe, and 3 running dogs. . . . taking in the view. The dogs seemed to get the score, and totally ignored the rabbit. . . . odd. 3 Quote Link to post
