chartpolski 20,488 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 There's still a lot of hunting going on here, and it's discussed on private forums and groups. Open forums aren't the place ,sadly, for those discussions anymore, to easily accessed buy the do gooders, not to mention the snides and anti's who lurk about on open forums ! Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 44,365 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 For me personally, I gave up hunting with dogs altogether when I moved here and my guns have not been out of the cabinet more than once a year in 6 years probably ! Theres f**k all to hunt for a start, the topography of the land is awful even if I wanted to try and kill the very few things around. If I’m honest, I’d rather feed a pheasant if I see one than shoot at it because there just are not that many......and that’s what I do now, feed them. Pigeons in my part of the world are non existent because nobody grows arable crops. Theres no rabbits, minuscule amounts of deer. The hares are again something I’d rather look at because there isn’t that many of them.......in the UK I walked on farms where there were 50 on one field.......I bet I have not seen 20 in all my travels since I lived here.

Born Hunter 17,639 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 You lads talk like everyone that ever killed anything did it with a lurcher or terrier. Lurcher and terrier work represent probably less than 10% of the fieldsports going on in the uk. Even if it was legal, all a post on it would get is a load of likes and the odd comment asking about breeding. Only threads that get any traction are ones heaped in drama or occasionally ones that are a bit different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greb147 6,808 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) The truth is most folk don't put on hunting posts because they get ripped by the self proclaimed experts. Different strokes for different folks. If you think you know better give them some friendly advice instead of taking the piss and fishing for likes.

I think nonsense gets ripped but I agree it can quickly go pear shaped on a whole range of subjects. That said, decent stuff normally gets a good response like FUJI post in the lurcher section, that’s a cracking set of pictures. Also Born Hunters post about his Sika stag, decent stuff and with an equally decent response. Fact of the matter is, there’s only so much you can say about some things.....if somethings good then it’s good, there’s f**k all to add. However, where it all gets a bit busy and messy is when a post is based on opinions......every f****r has one and it’s probably going to get emotional ! Lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's basically my point. There's just not much to say really in most instances. Which is a shame because I don't know about others but I don't post for likes, I want a bit of dialogue. But everyone has sort of done it all before so what is there to say other than chuck a bit of appreciation at the poster for taking the time to entertain you for a few minutes. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hear you mate, however take you for example. I would have no understanding of what grain bullet or any of that type of stuff so I couldn’t get into something more in-depth with you because it’s way above my understanding......it would be completely meaningless. I loved hunting deer but that was obviously a completely different set of circumstances. I was looking at the background in your pictures and thinking how that Stag would have looked running across there with a hound in hot pursuit! Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Wouldn’t be the first, lol. I’d rather someone commented about dogs than bullet grains ffs! Ha Its beautiful country. But I’d not want to run a dog there. Some of the fields are just rocks, this is one of the better ones. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
