hare_n_hounds 157 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 thats the way forward carling, doesn't matter where the ground is we have permission on, there's always going to be someone else doing it on there so Best to just wonder anywhere and everywhere Quote Link to post

bunnyboiler 1,053 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Rabbits tend to sit tight for the first few hours close to there burrows I bet if you went back after midnight they'll be further away and you might get a better run on them so the guy int pub said 1 Quote Link to post

NUMBERS HAVE EXPLODED AND5/10YRS FROM NOW THERE WONT BE MUCH TOO CHASE EXCEPT FOR FOX /DEER. 20YRS AGO YOU HAD TOO WALK PAST 20 HARES TOO GET TOO A DEER . NOW ITS WALK PAST 30DEER TO GET TOO A HARE. THE OLD FOX WILL WIPE OUT THE PLACE AND THEYLL BE NO WILDLIFE FOR JOE PUBLIC TO SHOW THE SKIDDYWINKS. THE ONLY GOOD FOX IS A DEADUN. RANT OVER.LOL Quote Link to post
bryson 562 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 so your standing inbetween the rabbit and the warren your big dog chasing it back home but cant get on terms (it needs a wee hand from a runner on the slip ) would this not spell disaster having 2 dogs running straight towards each other and you say a pup waiting in the wings well me thinks 9 times out of 10 that pup is going to be fecked Quote Link to post
