Irishhunter14 89 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I just feel that lads over here start hunting far too soon and that's not just coursing that's all game like beating cover etc, at end of day farmers don't have to let us go onto their ground the least we can do is respect there livelyhood, all it would take is a farmer to phone these rangers wildlife officers that are floating about and hassle starts, just saying we can help keep are game going by helping ourselves and one big thing is keeping land owners on our side, now there's other sides like posting stupid videos/pics which is fuel to antis but one issue at a time 2 Quote Link to post
Maximus Ferret 2,063 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Bang on again Irishhunter. Most farmers round here are fine and I find it easy to avoid those bits of land where farmers don't want dogs on. As long as I try to avoid running among livestock I've had very little bother. I do start early in some places but choose them carefully. Quote Link to post
