foxhound45 167 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 For some of our younger generation with only a few years experience in the field I thought you might like to take a bash at naming some of the tracks you will be likely to find out in the field. Don't be embarrassed about getting it wrong, think about the weight of the animal also and the ground it's walking across. Just a bit of fun and experience. 1. 2. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

foxhound45 167 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) These are a few of the things I picked up as a child, asking a farmer for permission and him telling you to shoot from the oak tree in the corner or the the largest ash tree in a field looks terrible if you can't tell one from the other. The berries are always raided on a day out hunting in autumn but if you can beyond go blackberries then it only improves your experience and menu if hungry. The bird is just thrown in because I believe if you spot it in the field and know what it is from your friends on TheHuntinglife.com well it goes to show how strongly we take our countryside.
