    I think egg collecting was the gateway into the countryside, everything else followed, air rifles, fishing, dogs, ferreting etc, it was the done thing?

    Yes, I go up there with Mrs every September for a few days, we have a couple of days walking the hills and it's the most I have seen since the 80's ?

    don't know where u are but it's exactly same here in Derbyshire. when we were kids you never saw a roe or any deer, had to go to Wales or Devon to see a buzzard. now we are abundant in both. rabbit numbers are very poor but plenty of hares. morning mooching might put 2 or 3 up max. yesterday dog marked a little rubble sett and a small sett in a ditch, due to time of year and poor numbers I left alone hopefully for next season ?

    far too common a sight nowadays. see a lot of good little rabbit setts dug out and taken over by badgers, they definitely contribute to declining rabbit population.

    I was at the midland a few years ago and a chap there was explaining how you get a dog to work cover. he blabbed on a bit and I turned to my brother and said what a load of boxxks, a dog either fancies it or it doesn't, you are spot on mate ?

    just a little update. 5 1/2 months old. 17 tts.. around 7.5kg. recall good. only short mooching but already using her nose, twice found a pheasant in cover, today picked up the line of roe.

    all depends what type of ferreting you are doing. when you have no permission and can't be hanging about they have there uses. just mooching doing little 4 and 5 holers where dog marks, you want quick bolts, if not then you want it to come off after a few minutes. now proper days ferreting were you can take all tackle and dig to backed up rabbits then they wouldn't suit.

    plenty of truth there?. little beddywhippet of mine finds pheasant nests most springs, I don't think I have seen a partridge nest since I was a kid.
  23. fred90
    not around here there isn't. no French at all and only a few English. those were the days of big estates and more shoots. even ordinary farmland held plenty. nowadays if its not a shoot there isn't any.

    I think in those times there was that many they could afford plenty of misses. they used to drag pheasant as well. apparently they roost on the ground early in the season.

    they were a square mesh. 10 yards across and 8 deep. before my time but loads of old boys at it around here. told us kids plenty about it. they used to watch them at dusk joking down they called it. get a good idea were they were then went a few hours later. some just dragged likely looking fields. dragging on spec they called it.
