Not only can dogs get mange, humans get mange also. I knew a bloke that contracted some obscure disease called (guillain barre syndrome ) that nearly killed him and it affected his nervous system which nearly stopped him breathing and left him semi paralysed for several years. The doctors tests reckoned that he had contracted it from handling foxes and getting it into a cut on his hand. Because of this I now carry disposable gloves in my pocket. It's a bad do that your mates didn't get a decent beaters day and vermin shoot. Perhaps next season that will have difficulty in getting good beaters. Just so that they can get in another paying day over giving the lads a day. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Just seen this post. Looks like you had a cracking day. I’d take that over driven pheasants any day. Squirrels ? some of the best shooting sport I’ve had over the years. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
