lads here drive the mountain roads with night vision and rifles wiping out areas of fox for no need ! No sport I honestly can not see what they get from it might aswell shoot a wood post !

had a permission wiped out of rabbits by some riflemen aswell, nothing worse, was a brilliant place too for starting young dogs good open fields for easy slips at squatters and all the rabbits left laying in the fields, talk about raging

I feel that! Best spot I had been going there nearly 20 years then for no real reason landowners let not one for 4 sets of rifle men with night vision start shooing and they near as wiped the place out, now there's no sport for anyone. Waste of f***ing time!!!

does my f**king head in but just have to persevere and look out for new perms, my job is being a passenger in van most of the day all over NI everyday somewhere different all the time, any good spots are saved on my phone and i call back to the nearest farm that weekend, sometimes the driver even stops to let me go knock doors, i love my job haha

Can't comment on the situation in Ireland. On one of my permissions of over is 3000 acres in Scotland it was teaming with rabbits. We had to CONTROL them as the FARMER wanted this done as part of our contract with him over the shooting rights for the game shoot. . So every weekend we flushed them with spaniels and shot with 12bores used 22lrs and ferreted them this only kept the numbers down never wiped them out .Two very hard winters and then mixie and we suspect the other virus (don't know the name) that kills them as we picked up a few bodies that had blood around the nose and mouth left the area with a few rabbits in one wooded area these have been left alone for 4 years now just start to see them about then mixie hits them again result is a very happy FARMER with little or no crop damage and not so happy gun and dog men cos now no summer work for the spaniels. .The other permission approx. 400 acres has only been ferreted one year overrun with bunnies next couple of years nowt then populated again.So in my case I can't blame lads with guns it's a combination of things that have hit the rabbits in my area I think others who take rabbits in the Scottish borders can confirm this .So think before you jump on the bandwagon to slag of fellow hunters there just might be other things going on that effects the rabbits in your area .

Question if you had to hit the rabbits hard to keep your permission would you??.

[Shovel shy 4,033]

Yea I would. And I totally understand about keeping farmers happy. As part of our permission in some places we have to be out once or twice during the summer. The comments I put up were about gc killing for no reason only to stop us hunting the land. it would be the same if us hound lads went in wit a rifle and silencer and shot pheasants n ducks just to keep gc lads out

Pity you can't get together with each other over a pint to explain your concerns.

seems it's gone to far.

I know stacks of shooters who run dogs, but in the UK it is against the law to run foxes, and not everybody wants to brake the law, shooting is legal, dogs are not. And who wants to lose their dog, vehicle, ect for a poxy fox that can be cleared with a legal method.

[Aussie Whip 4,133]

Can.t see the sport in shooting game,might as well shoot tin cans.

[dogmandont 9,862]

Not against the law in this part of the uk. And even if it was lads would still be out running them as I'm sure is the case over there, it's just another excuse the rifle lads use when they've shot every fox in an area just because they can.

Have had a lot men saying here that buzzards are having an effect on the rabbit numbers, with these past few mild winters the buzzard numbers have shot up, i see them regularly whereas a few years ago we wouldnt have seen as many here and more rabbits, but i think its more coincidence

[Bosun11 537]

Buzzards can give local hare populations a hammering by taking leverets but i'd very much doubt do much harm to rabbit numbers.

A farmer who lives up the road from me , has the license to shoot deer .I saw two one night on the field next to the road one night. He stopped and spoke to me for the first time. Told me what he shoots.he said that the two young ones there were tame.strange how that was i thought but the was just staying there. I say one rotted on side of the road months later , eaten at .car must have had it . Foxes he said , he only shoots when the are a problem.foxes wouldn't be liked around this area though, I know that myself
