Favourite Quarry

[shaaark 10,709]

As above, what was people's favourite quarry to hunt, and why, when we still had a bit of freedom to do it?

 

I know, but it's already been a pretty long summer! lol

Rabbits for me got plenty to run at so happy enough doing them

Deer,,no idea why as the majority of them weren't exactly testing for a good dog to pull,,but when you got one it always felt like a substantial catch

its always nice to get few rabbits , as prob of all the game meat hare,deer, rabbits for me the best taste , pre ban if either of these got up it was good sport for your dog .But suppose a fox would be my favorite , as you never really know if the dog could catch it, they are crafty will try anything to confuse a dog, and can twist/turn , near as good as a hare yep a fox good quarry day/night , pity with this feckin ban

Yeah I know the ban is in place, but what WAS your favourite quarry, 'pre ban'?

Personally for me it was hares, and like gamerooster said, deer get the old heart racing

ive always been a foxing man growing up on the edge of town you never knew where hunting old raynard would take you sly mr fox can leave you scratching your head

With always being a man who is only into edible quarry, I never understood the fascination with running foxes with dogs, for them to be thrown in a ditch, plus you could hardly call it a test of heart with a 20lb fox against a 60-80lb bull cross, but each to there own I guess

You know I was always taught by my old man only kill what you can carry and carry what you can eat but he never turned down a chase on old Charlie you don't need a big lump of dog to get one in the bag it's not always about the kill it's finding them and how cunning they are I've had some courses that have been short lived and some seemed like a life time I love to hunt deer pre ban as much as the next man but fox has always been the one for me

Use to love foxing. Any method. I love a good days bushing rabbits. Keeps the blood pumping.

Rabbits all day for me with ferrets and little lurchers.Looking grim around my area though with K5 virus,hope the little dogs can step up as foxes are out of control here with no rabbits to eat.

For me fox hunting was always done through necessity, but running early morning roe deer was a great pleasure to watch. An easy carry and always in demand.
