Over poxy rabbits

Sounds to me like Trev has got his wires crossed and thought that you were being a funny cnut with him by sharing the land he hunts.

Of course on here things escalate tenfold and before you know it folk at each others throats.

I’d never touch an other Mans car, if I caught somebody on the land i hunt on then I’d have a chat, prob try steer wm towards somebody else’s no im only messing iv met a few lads out an they would have to be proper cnuts for it to turn emotional at any point, iv walked all over these dales and didn’t care who said what, who fcuk am I to say somebody else can’t do same, if it become a problem an stuff was going missing getting trashed an that then aye ofcourse I’d have a word but burning or damaging vehicles is a cowardly cnuts was of dealing with a situation, especially if you know you can wait there an see them in person where you from Scott? The dales ain’t nowt special iv been other parts of country with a decent populations, so your homework an get in there first, they can only get caught once

Completely understand your argument when stuff goes missing or damage is being caused, thats not the game and it fucks it for everyone else. I've been places shouldn't have down my way and its usually as you say, a word saying shouldn't be here and an apology and leave but never any mention of cars being torched or any damage at all. 

 

I'm worcestrshire mate, watching videos of the guys up in the dales catch some impressive numbers makes the jealousy hit hard

It's not always about the quantity mate, at times up there it can be like shooting fish in a barrel. 

Of course it can be sapping for the dogs if you're doing high numbers but the rabbits were there to be caught.

 Yes, it can be a bit soul destroying , working for hours,.. for scant reward

I've hunted rabbits over most of the UK, and there is no doubt that, currently,..the North of the country has the largest population of conies. However,..(when talking of the Dales), it pays to remember that not every open Fell or large tract of Moor, has a vast quantity of rabbits.

I've been visiting this amazing country for several decades and have enjoyed hunting over some beautiful terrain. Luckily,..I have always been guided by local lads...

Obviously, guys that hunt the area on a regular basis know where best to go, and definitely where not to go

Down here in the South, we could always gather up a large catch of conies, either by day with the ferrets, or after dark with the dazzler. Sadly, times have changed and we no longer have endless areas of good land to walk over...

The rabbits, come and go with an alarming regularity and it is difficult to rely on a big pocket of shushis being available as and when, you fancy a quick walk out...

Times have changed

The best rabbiting nowadays, is 'Oop North'...and ya got to travel, if ya want a red letter day to remember..

Obviously, if a man lives within striking distance, of such Elysian Fields and knows the area and safe parking spots, it is often worth a punt,..but nothing beats local knowledge...and the luxury of accompanying a friendly guide who knows the score,...is priceless

I wish the original poster all the luck in the world and would hope that some kind soul might give him a day on the Dales. I believe most enthusiasts deserve to experience at least one memorable hunt in their lifetime...It kinda makes up for all the lean times...

All the best, stay safe Brothers,..kind regards, OldPhil.
