mushroom 13,220 Posted September 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Ok I just checked with the landowner foxes usually only go to ground from Jam to March during the breeding season. All other times they're on top. There are a few holes on the land but not many. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure it won't matter mate. Pigs are not going to sit about while dogs are running through. Regardless of what they are after Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The temperature was a little warm for the scenting dogs which didn't help. I'd probably repeat the trip as was , as it's a great experience, the journey , the terrain the local evening out, it would have made it to put something on the deck though. Exactly what we are trying to do mate. When we did it, there just wasn't enough dogs runing free to put enough pressure on. I've been up there when its warm and I've walked with the packs pushing through. Scenting isn't the main thing. It's the person/s controlling the dogs and deciding where to walk them and also trusting them if they pick up on something. A pack of hounds speaking or terriers tipping is for sure gonna move the fat buggers The people with catch dogs will not be roaming about. They will be stood at a peg. The pigs will run past 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
