moonlighter 1,165 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Don't listen to wet end. Most people stop in march as most quarry start to breed then and it's not much sport killing pregnant and young animals. Also in the summer the ground is too hard and in a lot a places the crops are up. Sept is when I start again but each to there own on that one, depending on where you live and quarry you hunt.

Hug them, take them out walking, feed them. let them sunbathe, jump in ponds, the usual. i don't kill in breeding season and won't shoot in summer. Let them have time off. 2 Quote Link to post
