Summer Hunting.

[rob190364 2,594]

No Rob he suffered with crucifying ever comment I made on numerous ferretting etc with no real reason and claimed I was arrogant and belittled other members etc.

So I do have a little chuckle when he spouts hypocritcal rubbish himself and pull him up on it.

When I feel the need maybe childish in some views but I do hate preachers who dont follow there own rules .

So I spend a little time roman the threads there are current and spotting there hypocritcal posts .

fair enough

[Ideation 8,217]

Haha. .. .bollocks.

 

I made one comment where i pulled you up for running down lads posts where they had only caught a couple.

 

Because you said something a long the lines of 'there is no point posting about your day out if that's all you caught'

 

And ever since then you have been obsessed with me mate.

 

Apart from that i've never had a problem with you, but you have spent the last six months stalking me around the forum, trying to make me out to be a hypocrite etc.

 

Out of interest, what crucifying comments did i make? And which of my own 'rules' don't i follow?

 

I don't expect you to give me a reply to that because you never do

Rob, you are a star!

 

I'm fairly sure the threads in which he was a bit arrogant were deleted, but he took real offence at my 'something i have noticed thread' assuming it was me slating him, when actually i was slating whin.

 

Confusion reigns!I'

 

Im not going to comment anymore as i've had a good walk in the sun with the dogs, and a couple of pints, so i will say something i regret.

I do but i don't really.

As Paulus said, walking the dogs here means now and then you get accidental runs and catches, it cannot be helped. I do try to stay away from places i think there may be something and make loads of noise. But then again i do try to do that all year round cos the things which get up here always mean my dogs end up somewhere i really dont want them to be and usually injured. But there is no way can i keep the dogs leashed all summer.

The people i do pest control for at the castle have loads of trouble with rabbits in their private garden, so several times a week i run the dogs through...more to show willing than to catch cos they are near on impossible to get in there. And any i do accidentally get throughout the summer in the grounds i make sure they see them. I've noticed 'normal' people do not understand the reasons you cannot lamp dogs in the summer, and think you should be able to do it all year round.

 

But if you are doing pest control properly during the winter they will see the results anyway, so there should be no real need for summer hunting....it's just an excuse for some people or they cannot catch them as has already been said when at their fittest

i dont think sometimes it is as black and white as this. i have a small permission that i mentioned earlier in the thread about eating all the horses grass. two paddocks over from this there is a roadside verge with lots of rabbits in that are constantly moving in to the warrens that i vacate, there are always a steady supply of rabbits to fill in the gap i make. i am not allowed to ferret this roadside verge, i have had permission turned down, and i couldnt possibly poach as its illegal and also near the main farm so id be seen

so after ive told you my life story, and im not having a dig, i think in general most THL members will judge summer hunters in a bad light, without hearing the full story, there is more involved than simply hunting out of season, and i think people shouldnt judge folk so rapidly on with such conviction, it doenst make you any more or less of a hunter. (moll im not having a go at you here, please dont think i am!)

Not being a dick, but through out this whole thread, there has been a que of folk desperate to justify themselves and their actions, when no one was having any kind of dig at them. We ALL knw that there are situations (and plenty of them) where the numbers just need controlling all of the time. However, there are planty of folk who have no permission, and hunt for fun (for want of a better word) and i was just wondering if we'd get anyone willing to stick their hand up and say, aye i keep going all year, just because i want to. Also was wondering if folk suffered the catch 22 situation, whereby if they started in the season, the game was already gone, so started earlier to get in first. I used to go out with a lad who got sick of the game being lamp shy and gone in september, cos everyone local started end if july, so he just started mid june, so he could get the kills before anyone else. etc.

 

Funnily enough but i rang a big arable farm today where i have permission and just asking to come down and excercise the dogs, and they said, aye no bother, but you wont be ferreting will you? It's summer after all. And these folk grow nothing but acres and acres of crops. It's a funny old world.

Not at all Joel, i completely understand where you are coming from, and to be honest after i wrote that i did start thinking that some things do change either way. And yes, nothing is EVER black or white

My pest control have been very happy with me, i hammered the place and got the numbers right down. Last season i had hardly anything to go at and what was there were very wise.

This spring/early summer, there is suddenly a huge increase in numbers...perhaps the milder winter? so it now looks like i had not done the job properly last season

 

The rabbits i mentioned in the garden, do not live in the garden but visit, i have tried to explain that they need to take measure to prevent them entering, but it is all in vain, they seem to think i am some kind of rabbit pied piper, and everytime i turn up they will be throwing themselves at my feet

 

Can you not destroy the old warrens to make the place less appealing for new inhabitants?

Here you go a reply in all my posts in ref to you I have never felt compelled to say sorry.

 

Unlike the replies to my posting we you have apologized for maybe taking me the wroung way .

 

Here I have pasted a section of the thread for you

 

ATB Cookie signing off this one now

 

Maybe it's just me, but a lot of your posts earlier in this topic and in others have come across as fairly arrogant and condescending. Maybe i read it wrong and it's all in jest. But written humour is often lost in translation. If that's the case however, i apologise.

[poacher3161 1,766]

TBH its only the profit poachers who i have known to respect a close season on rabbits and the summer months would be spent poaching fish.
