Good luck with that one!!!!! Once people start hammering a place you won't get them to stop. Once the word gets out you won't get it back in. When you find a good place for hunting or fishing the b

In my humble and honest opinion the Dales is well and truly on its way out.

 

Over the last 4 years especially after that really bad winter with the late snows in March,The populations have never recovered..In places where we could ferret warrens and pull 5 out of a stop end there is maybe 1 0r 2 in the whole warren nowadays.. Every winter the numbers decrease and they just haven't had the time or opportunity to recover.

 

Places we go day and night hold about a 3rd of what they would normally hold... Obviously there are hotspots in certain areas because of people advertising and telling the whole world where they go and posting pictures and maps of where they have been for all and sundry to follow and have a go at themselves.

Yes

Fact of the matter is...That even in areas where no one else goes and there's no way they're getting poached by the Fly-by-Night Shitesters with no Permissions...The numbers are still very very Low.

 

The keepers and the estate managers have concluded that if there's no bunnies to catch,There will be no Outsiders coming in to chase them.

Drop boxes and shooting/trapping/hunting of the humble bunnies has been added to their workloads and the fact that the Gundog Fraternity will pay good money for live bunnies adds just a few more reasons into the demise of our greatest little adversary.

 

Durham,Northumberland and Scotland are the next places that will be feeling the pinch.

 

ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN CHAPS. . . As History tells us.. All good things must come to an end...lol. Anyone remember Bakewell in the 1980s ? ... I have still never seen as many rabbits anywhere to this day.

Yes i remember bakewell and carver i got caught there lamping in1985

 

1983 for me...lol... It got to the point where if you got within a mile of the place you were lucky... the coppers were well on top of all the vehicles coming in and out of the surrounding areas and you got stopped before you even got out of the vehicle.. . . Its still alreet for the trout ticklers amongst us...hmmm.

Too true Jim.. one of the young lads off one of our places has been selling bunnies to the spaniel boys for £2 out of the drop boxes... Hundreds of them at a time... his jaw dropped when I told him the spaniel lads were paying upto £8 for them after the middle man had taken his pants down and slapped his arse...heheeeee.
