Aye mate, rats need an all angles attack, and you still aren't gonna kill them all. What i meant about what you posted is just that your right when you say that some folk DO ask for their rabbits to be controlled, but are happy for the controller to conserve the rabbit supply for themselves to shoot as sport, and to see bunnies bouncing about

hi buddy have you upset some one in the dog section the tales are still here through out the winter,last time you posted in here was January 10 http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/184563-air-pistol/page__p__1867854__fromsearch__1#entry1867854 winter months are always a lower count than summer months,not because of hunters,because lack of sight of rabbits! you are mainly in the dog/ferret/general sections! so you will miss some of the winter posts,if your not in here posting/looking.there is a large number of lads on here who will go out in all conditions! if you dont the

Whats the strangest/funniest thing you've seen your dog do?

Catch a rabbit. -
beddy/whippet/greyhound x spaniel
Ideation replied to lloyd-holmes's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I suppose his thought is to breed an ace bushing dog, with the nose and trainability of the spaniel and the speed of the lurcher to actually catch. Wonderful idea in theory and the odd pup may work, but most will be crap in comparison to either parent at their individual job. And he will then realize why he got a spaniel and a lurcher in the first place. -
Good point mate. I guess a lot has to do with the nature of the land owner and their attitude to the rabbits. We vary with ours between people wanting them all dead, first winter a massacre, to people who actively ask us not to hunt the land during the summer as they don't want us killing them when they are breeding, but want us to take say 50 % of their population each winter, and don't really want to see us doing it.

b*****d little things that they are, can't believe you can't legally let your mutt kill them.

b*****d f*****g insurance folk, just got an estate to replace my truck and tried to swap my insurance over - apparently a pick up is a 'commercial vehicle' so they wont swop it and so i lose a grand having payed for a year up front.

Some very good points. For me it is as Born Hunter says - i ferret etc throughout the winter months very very intensivly - usually 4 full days a week, and then the rest a couple hours each day, and if a days ferreting is not possible its lamping (often as well rather than instead of). The only call for shooting is ti either cull the population in an area which cannot be targeted by other methods or to show a face and prescence and mop up a few visibly so that the land owner gets the impression that something is being done. At the end of the day however, if you have any kind of rabbit prob

It wasn't a dig at anyone in particular, like i said. I just always find it odd that people consider knocking the odd bunny over 'pest control'. Obviously rabbits are a pest and so killing any rabbit is going part way to controlling the pests, but realisticly, at the rate they breed etc, ,using an air rifle, knocking the odd kit , or even bagging a number, throughout the spring/summer months, is not controlling the rabbits on a farm. It's amusing yourself with a bit of target practice and bumps the bag up. This section always seems to flood with summertime posts of shot couple of week old

Interesting you say that Penny, it's the fat thing i think, rabbits lack of fat means that they are good for weight maintanance etc, but are not so good when you need to bulk up or make up weight, such as after birth etc. At these times the ferrets really seem to prefer birds, due to the fat content.

Jesus, the woman had an accident, they happen. She obviously knows that she shouldnt go near the trigger unless shooting, but thats life. Talk about getting on your high horse.

Before i start, this is not a dig at anyone in particular. But it seems that during the winter months, the number of hunting tales are few, and usually come from the same small group of people. Now that the summer is under way, we will see a massive rise in posts, mostly about shooting rabbit kits in the evening sun (easiest quarry there can be). I know that folk always defend it saying it's 'strictly pest control' and they need to remove all the problem rabbits etc. But knocking off a couple of bunnys a week, is hardly pest control. Is it just because most folk on here static shoot, and lying

What a joke! There are tons of whippets all over the country, many of them male, and many of them cracking workers. I would also hazard a guess that many of them have done more, more varied and harder graft than this Jude dog? Whats he done, bunch of ferreting and lamping rabbits? For a season? Big deal.

Aye, i probably do know more about ferrets than a lot of vets, as i'm sure do many others on here. So, are you going to tell us all why dried food is better than a natural fresh meat diet? What it contains that a proper meat, fur, bone etc feed does not? If you had a modicum of common sense you would know that animals in captivity live longer than their wild counter parts for a whole host of reasons, probably least of which is their diet. Tigers live longer in zoos than in the wild, is that because they are fed special chudleys dry Tiger food? Or are they in fact fed a raw flesh diet?

Right your a f*****g nutter and that RSPCA comment is f*****g out of order, as is insinuating that someone is not caring for their animals cos they don't feed them 'specially formulated' over priced, dry processed shit. If you believe that feeding ferrets an organic, fresh, wild, whole carcass diet is keeping them in 'poor condition' then your either a 14 year old who has had ferrets 10 mins or a f*****g remedial. Sound like your worried about the r.s.p.c.a coming to you place. Maybe you should get a visit. I have never had any problem with you. You started this crap and now you have to
