scent 509 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 rabbits i only take the amount that i can feed my dogs with or feed some mates.Hares i never slip on day or night ,foxes i hunt and kill as many as i can cause thats my main quarry Quote Link to post
artic 595 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 The most important issue for me is the way my dogs perform each time they are worked. Never been into numbers (unless I have an order) so I take what I need. The farmers here do not pressure me to go out and kill kill kill, and that's just the way I like it. Quote Link to post
hunt and fish 35 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 If im hunting somewhere local walking distance i would only take at the most 3 or 4 rabbits(if i took more the place would be dead) and as many fox as i get the chance to, on some good ground with healthy numbers ill be killing untill the lamp dies. Im not a numbers man im happy enought just getting out getting a few runs watching the dogs work. Quote Link to post

But Fox or deer we lamp untill sunrise and get as many as possible .. who ever says they ain't out to catch big numbers is full of shit Edited January 26, 2011 by d and l 3 Quote Link to post

welshhound2 20 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 rabbits- enough for the pot long ears- 1 or 2 fallow roe ect- same as above red uns- it aint over till the fat lady sings (main quarry) Quote Link to post
runforyourlife 361 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I see nearly every post has mentioned night time. I hunt in the day, and the majority of the time, the dogs are bushing up. So imo i dont think its how many you have taken but how much ground and work the dogs have covered. Most days i am walking to keep the dogs fit.. Quote Link to post
jambay5 191 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I dont do many 2 rabbits would be ok for me, one for pot one for dogs may need more if i get some ferrets. i just enjoy being out with the dogs keeping them fit. Quote Link to post
