chilli 381 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'very had to travel for years as it's crap around here & have had some really long days with it 1 Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I wished I'd got a quid for every mile I'd put in, it makes the dogs we keep and life worth living That's what it's all about mate. All the good days and memories are worth the travel. 1 Quote Link to post
smasher 1,055 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 If you put in the leg work and the miles you will be rewarded for your efforts,game can be thin on the ground in some parts round us at times,and sometimes it means gettin back in the jeep and putting in some good miles to get to the next spot,but we usually manage to get 2-3 digs most outings,and when the season is over we still meet up and walk new land looking for new spots,up until the cover gets up,if you keep doin the same spots season after season with little or no reward you've only yourself to blame You get back what you put in 5 Quote Link to post
fat man 4,741 Posted March 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Walked a bit of new land this afternoon and found 2 nice earths with plenty of activity about them,also seen a vixen carrying a rabbit into some cover and on investagation found the earth with loads of sign of cubs,litter scattered everywhere,something to look forward to next season. 3 Quote Link to post
dillydog 8,463 Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I traveled two and a half hours today, I had a good day in good company. It would be better if it was just down the road though, I was suicidal driving home lol 1 Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I keep saying I'm finished DD but the keepers ain't happy lol. Had another couple of digs today up on the moors. Only an hour drive so not too bad. 1 Quote Link to post

rob284 1,682 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Last season I was travelling 2 and half hours for a poor bit of permission on steep fells, started to annoy me. Changed direction this season and im 50 minute away from decent ground. I enjoy travelling to different places as its something different for dog and man. 1 Quote Link to post
Cargol 302 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Feck all that boys, I'm 300 yards from a spot that's always holding. Lol Fair play to you lads that put the miles in to get enough graft. 3 Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Feck all that boys, I'm 300 yards from a spot that's always holding. Lol Fair play to you lads that put the miles in to get enough graft. I used to be in that position but ruined any within a field or two of my house. Terriers remember where they are and I lost a good terrier a few hundred yards from my front door in a place I didn't know was there. I'd only just moved house. Quote Link to post

Cargol 302 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I only have mine off the lead when there pups. As soon as they show any interest in holes they don't free roam again. 1 Quote Link to post

I don't kick the arse out of spots within walking distance. But then again we never have to travel more then an hour. And we had 4-5 digs a week on average. So plenty of spots to go at local Quote Link to post

Lol Fair play to you lads that put the miles in to get enough graft. Hunting local is a distant memory for me :-( .... Although clocking up the miles seems to be the new internet bragg! 1 Quote Link to post
