jack boi 5 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) I wonder has the Hunting act increased the appeal for hunting with rebellious youth because it got so much media attention and is more alluring to young people no mate .. you got it all wrong , for one im not rebellious .. i hunt because its in me .. a rebellious youth is not someone who goes out and enjoys the sport of hunting but hangs on the streets .. get your facts right son ! ..

ROZ 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Good luck in getting some permission. as it is harder to find these days. plus theirs more folk out with guns who shoot everything in sight IMO. When you do get permission look after it. Quote Link to post

I wondered that myself mate .Personally ,the digging game was a natural progression from ferretting .We wern't shown by anyone as the basics were there ,we just needed to refine it . If you are keen on the sport mate ,then i hope you will be in it for the long haul and not just a passing interest . Quote Link to post

I'm from rochester Kent, I have alot of permission and it is very hard to get and even harder to keep. You have a difficult task ahead of you finding someone willing to take you on to 'their' permission. It is a sad fact that many people have had the good will to show someone onto their patch only to find that they come back later without them and have their permission flouted and name used in vain. Unfortunately you may have to start the same as many of us, go and speak to Land owners and enter your dog/s to Rat first. this is good drills for you and the dog, and the Land owner will appreciate it, and up goes your rep. Best of luck mate, Ps, read lots of informational Terrier books. Edited February 9, 2009 by longdog13 Quote Link to post
