Aye, it's a good way to do it, a lot more fun than just turning up, getting a mark, netting up etc. What we found a lot today is that we'd check a warren, get no mark, work on, and then run a rabbit eventually back to that warren. . . it's where the hound comes into her own at times It's what our wee pack is suited to

TD - I was very happy to let the officers look through my car. . . funnily enough they weren't so happy once they started to hit the bottom layers. . . . Bosun - luckily that's just one area, about a 30 min drive from me, and like you said, its just the way it goes these days. On the bright side, at least I was the one bright enough to ask for permission. . . which was granted, so as much as it's a ball ache, its great running land, with some very challenging rabbits. . .and some very very challenging rabbits lol . . . I'm also blessed in that I've got a couple of thousand acres of pri

I'll take you up on that offer. . . .

Aye. . . . that's pretty unusual around here, and on all of the surrounding areas I do, I don't have anything like that and usually don't see a soul. This area is just very hot, for a few reasons. . . . On the upside, its nice to know that if I'd been poaching, I'd have not got very far! I will be ringing the police number from now on, but I don't particularly relish the thought of them looking my car through too often . . .

Snapped a canine in half, and lost most of his lower front teeth between the canines, the one looked real sore, pushed it right out through the gum. . . . . . . Mind. . . . the mad little b*****d, jumped out of the ditch, pissing blood and ran the rabbit down, crashing through a hedge to get it. . . then came back with a sore mouth and a dead rabbit

Had a wander out with Johnnyboy today, to a bit of local permission we have, which is usually good for a late season mooch, when the cover begins to die back. The farmer had mentioned that a few rabbits were making an appearance and munching on their newly sown fields. This place never holds many, but has some nice bits of woodland, fern cover and such like for the dogs to work, and the rabbits like to sit above ground, providing some good hunts. We took Gem, Bron, Finn and Gwen with us. . . along with a jill and a few nets. As soon as we left the farm yard the dogs began moving rabbit

As it was blowing a gale and raining yesterday, I thought I'd head out for an hour. Nothing major, as me and the dog were off ferreting today. Decided to head to a farm in an area that is a wee bit hot, and has had a few problems over the last week or two. The usual subtle poaching, 3 cars, 7 lads, 9 dogs. . . . . So the local farmers like having me about the place at night, and also now just want the place wiped clear of anything runnable to keep the idiots away. Anyway, rang the farms, the neighbouring farms (that I don't have permission on, but still have to inform), and a few othe

BH - I am led to believe that they do not like to break cover, and like to run in circles, round and round the woodland. . . . making them an ideal quarry to hunt with a small hound pack.

Got what I went for mate

Thanks for the information. . . . I was just wondering if folk did it much? I can see how it works. . . . . D&N - Muntjac are similar to Roe in that respect Fallow are the interesting one. . . . . they do run miles, and they seem to have no problem crossing water here. A member on here may remember a visit to this kneck of the woods, a long time preban, which ended with a very large and mature fallow buck, careering through the start of a large x-country marathon, across a large river, and straight through a campsite. . . . followed by the dogs. I was wondering about t

My New Hunting Partner (This Is Going To Be Fun)
Ideation replied to budharley's topic in Driven, Walked Up, Rough Shooting
One of the best posts I've read on here mate, well done you and Tig!!! -
On my way back from there now lol.

They do run a long way if there is nothing to stop them. Do you have much trouble with hounds rioting on deer, there seems to be something about their scent . . .
-
I was wondering whether before the ban, anyone on here did much hunting of deer in the day, with a small pack, or bushing dogs etc? Obviously I know that plenty hunted them up with lurchers during the day, and drove woods out to the runners. . . . . . but in the bigger places, did anyone ever hound them about or similar???

Paulus . . . out of interest, what is the guy doing wrong? As controversial as the topic may be. . . he's not being rude, offensive or illiterate. . . . . healthy debate is good!

Chuck them all in mate. Infact, it's a great idea in small places to . . . it saves digging. What you do is. . . Chuck in the first terrier. . . when he finds and takes hold, you throw in number two, an arse bitter. . . and he grabs the first dogs arse. This goes on. . . . until the final terrier is protruding from the hole. Then. . . . you tie the winch on the front of the landy / quad. . . . or brace yourself around a tree. .and the other end to the terrier sticking out the hole . . and pull like feck. They'll come right out, like a cork out of a bottle. And as they s

I think you've missed my point (again). . . my companion was not carrying a fire arm. . . and we weren't slipping dogs on anything. And I didn't start this thread I agree mate, most of the animosity I have encountered from farmers etc . . . has been due to other lads acting like dick heads. On the upside, I've picked up numerous bits of land to run, because some other dickheads have tried poaching it, not caught much, but made a mess. . . and so the farmer wants the game gone, or the land walked at night by someone he knows. So it works both ways. And my dogs are stock broken and know

Enough about Ewes. . . . dirty bugger. Hey, good point, I've got family in the Valleys now mate, and I'm getting PM's warning me to stay out of England. . . . I think I've been converted Got the wee one a funny present today

My best mate DOES live up that way Shaark, along with a host of others. And that's where my family is from. . . . but being as I have a fair amount of permission on the surrounding 'flat lands'. . . . I regularly meet groups of men, with a familiar accent, and a gang of dogs. . . . . out walking my permission. And to be fair, most of them are ok, but sometimes, you wonder if they hang out in sixes . . . . to pool their brain cells. . . . Caught a couple the other night, stood in field behind the farmhouse, trying to poach deer, shining the lamp through the farm house windows. . . . at abou

Well . . . I meant you and Morton. . . . so it's YOU (plural) have gone off track, rather than we. . . . I just think that if folk don't realise that dogs that are not stock broke are a bad idea. . . . . then you're not going to educate them! However, there seems to be a growing idea that a dog can be shot for 'trespassing'. . . . which just ain't the case. And when it happens. . . . Morton - as interesting as your last reply was. . . and I agree. I don't think that was the issue. We've had it before, having a mooch on common hill land, and had an angry man with a shotgun poin

I think we've gone a little off track Chalky. . . . this thread wasn't about stock worriers . . . . growing up in Wales. . . you will know how much of a no no that is. This thread was talking about farmers who shoot dogs for just being on their land. . . . . no stock involved.
