You are not far wrong there Kalibrgun 

The 'Southern tourists ' never got a look in...

TOMO's  Brindle bitch knows the score on that ground, she is as keen as her owner...it was great to see...

Its good that lads put up posts and reports of their days and nights out , hunting over such superlative Elysian Fields 

I remember , back in the day,...telling hunters locally of my first rabbiting experiences to the Far North..

Even my pals who I had known for many years were a tad wary of my  holiday tales...

"How fecking many, did you catch?... I don't believe it,...you are full of shit"....

 Well, I cannot deny that......but, for guys that have not traveled and had at least, one good hit, at the big time,  I cannot really blame them for being dubious

 As I have said many times,..with regards to the hunting game, it honestly is, a big old world out there, and sometimes ya got to put in the miles to see it , and believe it..

Dogs get used to the ground they hunt most rabbits on our patch rarely run more than 25yrds before the reach sanctuary , and as many are caught in the hedge bottom as on the run it more about being in the right place at the right time , I’d be a liar to say I wouldn’t like a try on dales bunnies , who wouldn’t but I’m realistic and couldn’t see mine catching 100 even tho she very quick for half cross , and don’t you believe the passport thing it’s still a b*****d down here and shoot one side of the ground and not other , you could av a pint in on pub but not one the other side road , you can work on a shoot but not shoot on it all fecking ridiculous there’s a lot of folk gona lose a lot money coz boris the barsteward

the way I see it a rabbit is a rabbit no matter where it lives you still have to catch it. around me numbers have been bad for years. (tomo knows the area). years ago I had bigger dogs and travelled a lot, still didn't get record numbers but did OK. now its single ferret in jacket, 6 nets and little dog. 2 rabbits is good days mooching, a drop with longnet and 9 or 10 is a bonanza. must be a age thing but I am enjoying it more than ever. Good luck to the lads doing the numbers

Well said Fred

Life is way too short to worry about records, and 'personal bests'...

Took me a long while to realize, that there is a whole lot more going on in the world , than chasing silly fecking shushis..

"Quality sport with quality company",...that is the way forwards Brother..
