bushing comp

[COMPO 54]

Just got back in, i find that evenings as the suns going down the best time, had a couple of good hunts, and very close in a thick bramble patch, but no catch, still good exercise for man and dog

 

point system suggestion

 

5 for a charlie (obviously accidentally killed whilst hunting rabbits)

 

4 for a rabbit (they are hard to catch)

 

3 for anything else (pheasants etc...)

 

2 hedgehogs (my teckel x kill's loads )

 

1 for rats

compo that sounds good well compare tallie's on sunday or monday and story's

[Dave C 63]

So we are using the point system above and it all kicks off Saturday morning.

Right watch out Bunnys the Wear Valley Rabbit pack are comming.

[Dave C 63]

By the way BigDan, just been looking at the for sale, did you get that Cocker x Patterdale, if so it will improve your odds in this compertition mate.

 

Hope you get it sorted.

 

Dave.

thers no way this coul work out... as honesty would be a key factor.. and i don't think that much of that goes about on here.. im well into bushing... got 2 terriers and a whippet x... im always out with them...

it would be exiting to meet up sumwhere and see whos pack worked the best... but as of saying how many youve had through the week.i don't think itd work.. im not trying to get clinical or anything... because youve already said just a bit of fun..

 

but a cracking idea

 

all the best

IS IT NOT ILLEGAL TO KILL HEDGHOGS???

[Guest Eamon.Mc]

WHAT DOES THE WINNER GET? A FAILED EARTHDOG FOR HUNTING BUNNIES?

i dont intentionally hunt hedgehogs....they are accidentally killed whilst hunting rats and rabbits.......my little dog hates them for some reason

seeing as the vast majority of us are using hounds and spaniels and cross breeds, none of which were ever intended for underground work, NO

 

 

Waz

good idea including the accidental capture of the above bigger game.....mine have had a muntjac nearly once

 

although surely a boar should be more points than a roe?

20 for a roe with a terrier do you have a petterdalexlion thats worth a 100 point's me think's but if people lie that's up to them anyone genuine up for a bit of fun would'nt remember just what terrier's kill no lurcher catty's wife' dirty knicker's or anti air craft missile's just terrier's and it is hard to catch a rabbit with just a couple of terriers so im not bothered if i have 1 2 or none but it's good to compare to share we all become more wiser but if people lie to big there dog's up then there dog's cant be much cop so it'll be in there own mind i don't need to big mine up im happy with them

[ferreterni 29]

Maybe add pics off your catch for it too count?

If folks lie then i'd say that they need to get a life,had one of the best hunts i've had with my dogs the other day and didn't catch the big eared rabbit they were hunting in a old pea field.20+ minuets and i didn't help them once,self casted refound and away again,i would say that watching the dogs work is the thing for me not numbers caught.It's only illigal for the dogs to kill hedgehogs not you,still i ain't taking a spiney ball off my reved up dogs on a rainy night(pricked,bit and soaked,sounds like a nite at barrymores house and sod that).
