grompz 705 Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 to be honest never really got going this season due to lack of rabbits in my area,saying that still had a few, starting to see afew young rabbits hopping about,going to leave them till september, and hope fully will start getting decent nights out again,strange how you can lamp places in the winter no rabbits due to vhd and mxy and then all of a sudden you start to see them making a come back,reckon this season must have been the worst on record for me, after 50yrs of lamping,ferreting and shooting,hope you all had a safe trouble free one,and enjoyed your sport,this is what its all about.atb. 2 Quote Link to post
desertbred 5,490 Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Finished for the season now.One of my quietest seasons i can remember late start and early finish .it didnt get off the ground at all. Now two bitches in season and the quarry paired up all over the place, So not really sport for the big lad..Having said that seen plenty of half and three quater grown hares about all season . Hope its better next season Have a good Summer Boys ATB Edited February 26, 2017 by desertbred Quote Link to post

FUJI 17,328 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Waterloo Cup wouldn't have even been run yet we're it still on the go,I said almost 40 years ago running hares in March was stupid as the does are full or already have leverets on the ground but hey ho it's banned now anyways lol..Saying that I suppose the greyhounds needed things tilted slightly in their favour lol..Anyhow I'm done this season,infact that's me done full stop,my journey has reached it's end,the thrill of the chase will be no more,I've enjoyed it in the main..Hope you all enjoy your time in the fields with your dogs,run em hard & run em often..Ciao peeps ✌ 2 Quote Link to post
