Well as title says has anyone hit on cubs yet,friend of mine shot a vixen a couple of weeks back that was heavy in cub.We out today with a couple of lads off here,had 3 digs and a bolt,good days sport + the usual craic and slagging but no cubs as yet,soon as we do we finish for this season.

Always March early April for us seems early for them to be about now surely,what's the earliest lads have found Cubs?

march is the earliest i found them but seen a cub knocked over around 6 years ago in mid feb,leave alone once there around unless called out

Dug a litter whilst out with a hunt years ago on boxing day .Only tiny but born nonetheless.Chap i know has dug cubs already this year which seems strange as they are still rutting !

I didn't go out yesterday fm, weather changed too ruff, rain, and that.i tried 3 places locolish, what I've only been to one of this season, nothing, and I've never had no kills there before, I've dug one two years ago and let it go. The be miles in the car from each place these, different patch. Funny you should say that about the cubs, I spoke with a man yesterday and he said one of the men shot one last week, vixen full of them. It's coming quick

I reckon the mild weather is at fault,seasons are all f****d up.I also keep some game fowl about me and have hens sitting on eggs this past couple of weeks,very early for hatching.

Yes, man I know said the same thing other day about his bantams sitting or starting to lay, strange in it. Makes you wonder what gone on.

We dont stop til late Feb early March. Like has been said the seasons are all over the place and the weather doesnt cool and the cover die back until late Oct early Nov so if we packed in in January we'd only have about 6 weeks of proper digging time.

Hate digging cubs or even pregnant vixens it has to be done to protect birds lambs etc but apart from then there's no excuse for it.

If there's cubs about it must be time to start getting the terriers fit, , seriously though it doesn't surprise me.

I seen Daffodils in flower this morning.

The cover may be down for a good while soon still after the season but I wouldn't go for that, digging cubs and the game needs a break, no excuse except for serious pest control, and you should have had it cleared up in the hunting season,

I wonder if cubs born now would breed before next winter?
