DIGGING DURIN THE SUMMER

[Hepher 86]

so what you guys are saying is that if you get a phone call asking you to help sort a problem out you say "no mate sorry can't do it" load of boll*cks!!! you'll go just like everyone else would. . . . . if you want to keep/gain permission you wont need asking twice. oh to be so self righteous!!!!

WELL MY DOGS AIN'T SEEN A HOLE SINCE FEBUARY, I KNOW I'LL HAVE DIGGING NEXT YEAR DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. BEING SELF RIGHTEOUS DOESN'T COME INTO IT, IT'S ALL ABOUT RESPECT FOR YOUR WORKERS AND YOUR QUARRY. IF I GET A CALL OUT I GO, I'LL DIG. IF I CAN AVOID IT I WILL. BUT I DON'T SHOUT ABOUT IT. BY YOUR OWN ADMISSION IN YOUR "PEST CONTROL" THREAD YOU'VE ONLY HAD A TERRIER FOR 5 MINS SO I SUPPOSE WE'LL SEE THE POSTS COMMING FROM YOU THICK AND FAST NEXT SEASON. :kiss:

one big difference that ye also must rember is that unlike england where there's big shooting estates that are keepered but in eire there's few. most of the land is controlled by gunclubs who are quite happy to have foxes controlled all winter as its mostly rough shooting here. then again if some of the summer digging lads dogs meet anything bigger then a cub they wouldn't stay in a hole very long imo. that excludes lads who are digging on keepered estates. y.i.s, sionnach

HEPHER TALKS A LOT OF SENSE. Fair play to all the genuine terrier lads that work their dogs the way they should be worked and give their quarry the respect they deserve.

when all that is said and done .its much nocer to dig when there is no frost on the floor and you also get to dig multiple quarry too ............ its all good .......isnt it????

What gets me and makes me smile is self appointed experts telling people what they should or shouldnt be doing on their ground .Grow up you sad gits ,get a life ,do your own thing and if you dont like a post then dont read the replies .Simple .

Fox control is not something that is seasonal .You cannot pretend to control an animal in the winter then protect it to rear cubs in the summer .The arguement dosnt fit and is what fecked up the hunts really .You are playing at it if you think any different .A sport digger ,nothing wrong with that so long as you dont try to fool yourself or anyone else that you are doing a good job of control .Digging every weekend and shooting non stop in the winter around us still means there are just as many cubs to deal with come spring .

Most sporting estates i know of have a zero tolerance of charlie which makes for more varied wildlife all round .

well put foxdropper although i only hunt in the season i do agree,never seen the sense in boasting on open forums about letting game run conserving next years sport etc... not too clever..

All im saying is, unless yer getting asked to deal with a rogue, then lets have a bit of fair play, and keep shtum.

Theres people on this site wanting to squeek foxes on the lamp, and leave cubs to starve, cos they dont know no better. yer all gonna call me a f**king anti, but thats the way i was taught, so f**k yez.

Agree totally but digging in spring either gets the vic and cubs or just the cubs in which case the killing usually stops as the vic has nothing to feed but herself .

i dont see anyone havin a pop at the lampin boys or the shooters for taking out charlie ALL YEAR ROUND . . . . or is it just me?

i dont no about anywhere else in the country but im out lamping, or try to get out everyweek most times i dont see alot as i made an impact when i first took my shoot on but i very rarely get a litter off cubs on my patch because im out lamping and if i dnt lamp them i get em in a snare so cubbing isnt that bigger a problem when i start to see an increase is in about a month or so when the cubs have started to move on and thats when i start seeing a few more. but even then there that daft you can sqeek them into ten foot of the vehicle in they dont get to the stage where they pose a massive threat.

but i have done my fair share of digging both in winter and in summer and if youve got a litter 50 yards from a release pen youve got no option but to get rid.
