    Decent chance of vote leave in Poland I’d say

    That is correct for RVHD1 but not the now dominant RVHD2 that can effect rabbits if all ages.

    Some people are questioning it but not the right ones. The whole mainstream media and political class basically backed lockdowns and forced experimental vaccination which means to now say that those things were wrong is to admit they were wrong which politicians will never do and the media will only do if told to do so by a court. This means as usual basically everyone in power says nothing and hopes it all goes away. The scary thing is that now they have done it once watch them use it again, next up climate lockdowns. Unless you’re rich. Then do what you like and f**k the environment.

    I am at a caravan park in camber right on the beach and it’s crawling with rabbits. The fields around it I have been walking the dogs in also, not great rabbit land either it’s to flat so will get wet in the winter but plenty there despite loads of people. I say that because if the virus is a easily spread as I hear then the volume of people from all over the country means it must be about here ( I think it’s very widespread now anyway). This suggests to me that over hunting is as big a problem as the virus, another place I know (woodland England land) is literally overrun but the estate it ba

    The real scandal is how debate was completely shut down, there was no cost benefit analysis and the media for the main were awful at providing a balanced view especially the BBC. The government actually used a nudge unit to discredit and remove anyone going against the narrative. Had anyone done any decent research every lockdown bar the first one would have been seen to be unnecessary (that was to but at the time that perhaps wasn’t clear). I lost friends and argued with family that the whole thing was bollocks but feel completely vindicated now. The damage done has been immeasurable both to

    Get a vasectomised hob for sure. Overall it’s cheaper and much safer for the Jill’s than a hormone injection. Obviously in a pickle for this summer but maybe see if someone would lend you one?

    Things are shit in this country for sure but the courts have always taken a dim view of poaching and some draconian punishments handed down over the years. Best thing to do is keep your head down don’t park your vehicle in an obvious place and probably keep your own company and don’t post everything on Facebook. I poach but try and be very careful about how I do it, it’s the attention seekers that piss of the land owners that then call the law.

    Not round my way, deer and badgers are taking over the countryside. Wish someone would cull them both back to manageable levels. Haven’t had any badger culls in my area and the deer are shot but not even remotely in high enough numbers as no one wants them

    The free speech is utterly irrelevant. Linekar would have know where near the presence he currently has if it wasn’t for his bbc work, he retired 30 years ago. He has been told implicitly to stop wading into politics and he hasn’t. Simple. Not about free speech it’s about respecting your boss and the organisation you work for and the fact the bbc are (or at least should be) the only truly impartial broadcaster around due to the way they are funded (licence fee). Go and work for someone else and you can say what you want Gary you crisp munching, socialist, jug eared c**t. And you can take Packh

    The increase in badger numbers has a hugely negative impact on rabbit numbers. I have a very good permission (well used to be a very good permission) ruined by badgers. They dig out the nests takeover the warrens and cause a lot of damage to the population.
  12. Bobtheferret
    To right mate! That’s over £60k a year! Nearly double the average wage for the uk for catching rabbits!
  13. Bobtheferret
    With so many lads with rabbit shortages in their permissions I find it absolutely incredible that a tight old farmer would pay someone £2.50 let alone £250 to clear rabbits! I reckon he is bullshitting you. A single post on a site like this would have people knocking down his door why would you pay?
  14. Bobtheferret
    Decent idea.
  15. Bobtheferret
    That would be great thanks. Am I right in assuming the NV007 simply goes onto your existing scope? So no need to change the whole thing?
  16. Bobtheferret
    What would you want for it mate? Thanks

    That’s not each to their own that’s wicked. I have always said if you kill a game animal you eat it or put it in the food chain somehow. The argument for pheasant shooting, deer stalking etc falls apart when you start burying edible game.
  18. Bobtheferret
    Never been and wouldn’t. From what I’ve seen and heard it’s like shooting fish in a barrel and yet we coursing people are the ones that are called cruel. The ban has without doubt had a huge negative impact on hares.

    Very random round me last weekend the does I caught were either not yet pregnant or were only in by a few weeks or so and this weekend I was bolting babies. The spots were very similar land and only a few miles apart, can never quite work out why some start earlier than others.

    Got my book today and as a starter for kids to understand why we do what we do it was really good. Probably no point the likes of us buying it as an educational book but be great as a present to give to townie friends to make them understand a bit more about hunting with dogs.

    Went to the funeral of my 23 year old brother in law last year who hung himself and I can say that was not something I ever thought I would have to do and it was harrowing. Look out for those around you lads you just never know what people are dealing with in their own heads. Looking around at the funeral it was genuinely the most tragic thing to see how many people would have been there for him if he had just reached out. Anyone that feels that black dog stalking them just talk to someone.

    Ordered it for my little girl, she is a bit young at the moment but loves the dogs and ferrets.

    It all makes me so incredibly f***ing angry, as many others have said above the truth is there is probably nothing we can do. If a million marching on London did nothing last time then whatever we do now probably won’t make any odds. Just feel so ignored and impotent about the entire thing. Only thing to be said in our favour (not that it helped Scotland) is it really worth the parliamentary time? Blair said he regretted it in the end as was just not worth the time. Far far more important issues than killing a rabbit with a dog in the country.
  24. Bobtheferret
    As everyone reading this is no doubt aware this week was a dark dark day for Scottish hunters with all kinds of actual killing of animals with dogs (bar rats and mice) completely banned by the Scottish government. No longer can you catch even a rabbit without the fear of a potential 5 year prison sentence. The organisations that are supposed to be on our side The Countryside Alliance and BACs claimed that no one uses dogs for catching rabbits anymore and as per the main ban and coursing threw us dog men (and women) right under the bus. Make no mistake this will become an issue in England and W

    I do understand where your coming from but SNP keep getting a huge amount of votes despite the incredible harm that poisonous dwarf has done to your country from what I have seen, all basically on the back on anti English rhetoric despite the fact Scottish people are getting about £1.25 spent on them for every £1 that English people get, funded by English taxpayers. As an English tax payer I find it quite hard to understand why people vote for her. She has now set the wheels in motion to potentially destroy something I love all for what? To keep some f***ing hippies happy to carry on her insan
