They don't, they eat what the nice people put out for them, and they do lots of good by eating rubbish that untidy people leave around. I know it's true because I watched Foxes live in the city . I'm a changed person since I learned so much from listening to those experts and the lovely RSPCA people, and as soon as I can I'm going to replace my avatar with a picture of me stroking and hugging the Fox who comes into my garden every night to eat the Chicken and Steaks I cook specially for him, and I've named him Robin.

Again, it depends what the quarry is and the method used, but I suspect the original question was meant as: 'Who hunts with Lurchers or Ferrets during the Summer?' and because it wasn't, it attracted mine and other hunting in Summer replies. But are you "hunting" per se or are you performing pest control which could be construed as a vocation rather than hunting. Maybe the title should've been who "pleasure hunts" in the summer. I walk the dogs and sometimes catch the odd couple that's the nature of the dogs but I don't purposely hunt anything,its never really sat well with me

Buzzard control plans on the horizon?
kenny14 replied to Malt's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
I think they meant Zoo keepers I personally have a feeling that this 'horizon' will be a very very distant one . And on their adaptability, Buzzards are in many ways more like Corvids than Raptors - a mix of the worst of both?. -
You talking about the Fox there Simo? I agree with you though And I do sometimes 'shoot' them this way too

Same here, saw fresh Toadspawn just a couple of days ago. Also seeing quite a few Leverets about that must've been born around Christmas time. Nature is a weird thing!

Rifle transport in vehicle
kenny14 replied to Declan Mc Conway's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
is this specific to Ireland, as in england there is no written law to say mags cant be loaded, seperate bag of course I remember reading of a court case where a prosecution was brought against someone for transporting a rifle with a loaded magazine in a vehicle. After a lengthy court case, it was decided that as there was no round in the chamber, and the bolt was forward and locked, it therefore could not be fired accidentally or otherwise, and the defendant found not guilty. Probably still not adviseable to do it though, just in case. -
Very nice going, looks like you've had some good sport And I like the black 'Rabbit' in the front centre!

i dont think sometimes it is as black and white as this. i have a small permission that i mentioned earlier in the thread about eating all the horses grass. two paddocks over from this there is a roadside verge with lots of rabbits in that are constantly moving in to the warrens that i vacate, there are always a steady supply of rabbits to fill in the gap i make. i am not allowed to ferret this roadside verge, i have had permission turned down, and i couldnt possibly poach as its illegal and also near the main farm so id be seen so after ive told you my life story, and im not having a dig, i

I think all the puns have been quoted, but if this had been a serious post, a more appropriate question would surely have been: I've just painted my black Dog white, so what kind of a tw*t am I?

Sorted that for you........................surely!!!!!... It most certainly was sorted Lab , the photo was just after I'd taken it from the larsen! I thought as much....... Do you notice if you move your larsen even 6 feet the most stubborn of crow will then go in? Yet sitting in the same place it wont?... I do, and actually last week I saw a pair of Crows round the trap mobbing the decoy bird 3 mornings on the trot, but they weren't going in (I have a catching trap sat on top of the Larsen too which accounts for most catches). I'm very limited to how far this trap can b

It's very easy for a purely 'for sport' hunter to give holier than thou opinions and to condemn others. But my simple answer to the question is YES, and my reasons are: Most Rabbit damage to crops is done and seen by farmers in Spring and early Summer, numbers are also increasing through these months, so if I'm asked to control their numbers at this time, I do so. Most Fox damage can be done at this time of year, so I control them at this time of year. To leave a litter plus Dog and Vixen around release pens or drives till Autumn would be out of the question. The Roe Buck season is

A beak that will put paid to countless eggs and chicks of Songbirds and Gamebirds over the coming weeks. Though as with most predators, I've got to admit to a slight admiration for their adaptability and ingenuity.

The Boars usually stay in the sett and the Sows are quite happy with this. When the young Boars get older and reach sexual maturity that's when the trouble starts, with the older stronger Boars driving the younger males out. This is also another problem with Badgers becoming so common, in many areas there simply isn't anywhere for them to go that hasn't already got a dominant Boar and dead and injured ones can be found anywhere as they seek shelter. we have more than our fair share around here, I know exactly what you mean. IMO the 'kindness' that legal protection gives, can lead to

The problem with these w***ers is that 100% proof isn't enough for them.
