Come on mate that’s just a daft comment , you know yourself that the motor puts much more in front of the dog than anything else walking around 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogmandont 9,846 Posted November 18, 2024 Report Share Posted November 18, 2024 Fox lads would do plenty of road siding over here but never heard of anyone actually driving the land unless your out with the landowner, probably because we have small fields but that isn't the case everywhere. I'd never of dreamt of driving over ground I hadn't permission on but some cnuts have respect for f**k all. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

downsouth 7,356 Posted November 18, 2024 Report Share Posted November 18, 2024 Also I'm a big believer that running dogs straight out of a motor is a surefire way to add to your chances of injuries. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Qbgrey 4,114 Posted November 18, 2024 Report Share Posted November 18, 2024 It’s not about farmers or land owners, pheasants, rabbits. It’s the type of people who think it’s fine to ruin someone’s property and cost people money for fun, then when told to f**k off start fighting them. It’s everything I’m teaching my lad not to be. These prat’s want respect when thier in pub giving it large but don’t treat other people how they want to be treated. And they are never alone , they always go mob handed then threaten someone who’s solo,when they got all thier dinlos about them. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've drove the land a few times on permission and enjoyed it tbh. But back in the 90,s we did a hell of a lot of slipping from the motor. Whilst lamping while stood on the back of a van with one door open as the van is moving , then [BANNED TEXT] u spot summit step off back ov van dog out over fence and game on. We did this mostly for big stuff. I preferred it as we could put more miles in and cover more ground even different county's in one night and rack up some massive miles. Don't get me wrong I loved it on foot. But for big edible stuff, roadsiding worked best for us and our slow mongrels . I certainly don't entertain smashing fields up and abuse at farmers. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
