Guest SJM Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Aye I have noticed the numbers dont seem to be as prolific as say 10 years ago, I have also noticed that the landscape appears to be changing, there doesnt seem to be as much heather as there used to be, I have a theory which is basically this, when the older generation of keepers was on there they kept the balance of nature much better. In recent years they are all retiring or moving on and its all young gung ho chaps who are out all the time blasting feck out of the hares to just throw them in middens or use them as bait for snares or traps, when a rabbit would do the job instead and I also think they are burning feck out of the heather and letting the fires go a bit crazy. I dont have any proof of this of course its just my theory but I can remember years ago being able to pick and choose what hares you ran as they were so plentiful. I heard they shot 300+ last season, those Italians come over and shoot everything that moves, then the hares are shipped abroad to game dealers. Wouldnt like to carry 300+ carrying 10 is hard enough work Quote Link to post
