I really don't understand for the life of me. . . . why folk put these kind of posts up. You need to have your fecking head read, sticking up ANY kind of info about decent places to hunt. Even general areas of the country. . . . . all it leads to is folk flocking there to either get permo for themselves or poach it. Makes absolutely zero sense to me.

The countryside is being killed and becoming the playground of the rich urbanite. Barn conversions, pony paddocks, and the 'good life'. It's all a bit of a joke. A sad one though

Craig. . .. I really didn't mean to offend you. Being honest, I fully understand the validity of field craft etc. However, my comments were not aimed at folk like you, ex service men. Those I speak of. . . . . wouldnt make it into the army in a month of sundays. They are usually the kind who like to pretend in their mind that they are a real commando. . . . stalking the taliban. . . . when in fact they are jeff from barnsley, stalking a dumb rabbit kit in the middle of summer on a horse paddock. . . . .with an air gun . . . .and full camo. It's just a wee bit ott at times. Atb, ID.

This is blatantly the sort of thing going through the heads of the kind of hunters who waltz around with an airgun and a ghillie suit Meant to have this in here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhahiQJhfTo

Like I said. . . . they are vermin. . . . . not some kind of armed rebel force (although i'm sure many like to pretend in their own heads). It's a little bit sad really, coming across middle aged men, in full camo, or ghilli suits. High tech, high powered air rifles, scopes, I.R, nigh vision, cameras etc etc etc. Acting and talking like they are in some kind of crack, elite, commando squad. . . . . . . . Lying in wait for. . . . . . . a squirrel And they are usually only to be found out an about in the summer. . . . sweating their tits off Perhaps some of them were not allowe

It really does make me laugh. . . . . you're shooting rabbits, not fighting the viet kong ffs!
-
Why is it that people with guns come out in summer like fecking flies!
-
i even said to one: dont you think rabbiting should be a winter activity to let them recover and breed ans stop killing babies etc.. to which i got the reply: bollocks to that id rather be sat outside in front of the fire in winter! says it all really....
-
The classic recently is . . . we've just seen a couple of rabbits coming back. . . there havnt been any for ages. So we're trying to shoot them . . ..
-
I don't want to get my guns rusty taking them out. During the winter. Also summer is Roebuck season!

Yes mate, bad news, seen some real nasty photos of hounds etc that have been caught out. And I heard that in some places the wolves activly hunt the hounds, coming in to their bay. Bad times.
-
You ever have any trouble with wolves and the dogs mate?
-
Then spend the next week looking like a cat attacked you ................ I know... it's even hard on the knee's Yes mate, I used to look a state. Good stuff though. . . hides plenty.
-
We used to do a lot, just let the dogs work them to ground and then get on in there haha.
-
Fair play mate. . . . . . . . sometimes you have to do what you have to do
-
I know what you are saying mate, all i'm saying is there are easier ways I had to sort out a horse place next door. . . . . or they were going to get them all wiped out and permission would be lost etc. So had a look about with the lamp and dog a couple of nights, and if that hadn't worked it'd have been air rifle or snares. I just hate wasting time pointlessly and it being a real chore. But well done for gettng out and getting the young ferrets going
-
Fairplay lads. . . . there are a lot easier ways to get ferret food this time of year than digging big holes
-
Apart from the odd small bit in a garden or two, I pretty much leave it until September.
-
Not a million miles away from you.

Aye. . .. . ust noticed its a male sorry. If it's black. Call it TYRONE!

With regard to the ferrets, it works both ways. The dog needs to be steady with the ferrets, but the ferrets also need to be steady with the dog. Probably my most used command when ferreting is 'wait'. Which I guess is my version of stay. If you are not a bell end, and want to give the whip a try in the season, I don;t object to showing you the ropes over a day. I run a whippet as well. Jai............you have to be up front with this lad and tell him about the fact you only get out twice weekly on day release...and remember the conditions they've placed upon you as well....
-
. . . . . . . .really? You are gonna have to say that name a bunch of times a day. . . . so you're better off picking something yourself. On here you will just get the same old names. . . But if you are going to ask. . . . dog or bitch might help?

Aye, I agree mate. I assumed the lad was just asking what he needed to instill in the dog before it's first ferreting trip. . . . .as there are a shit ton of stuff that a dog needs to learn, before i'd class it as a 'ferreting dog'. . . . if you know what I mean. But if it's just a case of what is absolutely needed before it experiences a day in the field. . . . . i'd say stock breaking is number one!
-
I personally don't think you need to teach sit or stay before a first ferreting trip. Obviously they are very useful in the field (more so the stay. . . . . don't see the point of sit if the dog will stay). . . . . but can to some extent be trained as you go a long, and will not negatively effect the person or dogs first ferreting trip too much, same with jumping. Also, I would say that familiarity with nets is something that can pretty much only be trained in situ. Just my opinion
