squab 2,875 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 been walking this particular bit land for nearly 20 years with the lurchers no permission just being your typical dog walker and hardly ever see anyone on here and since having bushers on the go iv had some cracking sport,plenty hedgerows small wooded areas and lot waste ground behind it as well great for a bolt onto the open ground to get a few runs,always holds good number of rabbits and bushers always putting up fox and muntys which is good to see as well. so im up there yesterday and was approached by a bloke in a 4x4 no problems just letting me know he was doing a bit pest control on the bunnies for the new owners seems the tractors and ploughs are moving in soon going to turn the lot over for crop,shit happens but im gutted lol,time to find pastures new 2 Quote Link to post

Accip74 7,112 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Happened to me a few times over the years under various circumstances, the land starts to feel a part of you & you feel betrayed haha..........but the latest was some cracking local land over here, that I had earmarked for a possible runner in the near future, but it's just being turned into a 27 hole golf course! I just have to make do with seeing my terrier pup putting up the numerous hares & rabbits on the landscaped clay in the meantime...:-(..haha... 2 Quote Link to post

Benny684lovley 22 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I know it's such a shame I wounded how bad it will be in 10 year looking how were I live has changed so much in the past 5 years. As much as I love hunting foxes for various reasons of pest control the poor little fuukers are roaming the streets more and due to land being used up. Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 That looks very similar to a lot of the ground I mooch about on. The hedgerows hold various bits and pieces.. How are them bushers bred? Im toying with getting a cocker in the new year. 2 Quote Link to post
