Just like to say I spoke to the farmer who i have known for over 40 yr and he said no one as perm to shoot his land and keeps no sheep or fowl so leaves them alone Quote Link to post
Smashing reds 437 Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Don't understand lads doing this, really boils my blood. I know of a lad that shoots and digs cub all summer long, and doesn't understand why he's not seeing anything during the winter when out with his lurcher. And he calls himself a dog man 2 Quote Link to post

fireman 10,774 Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 All my digging is on shooting estates and if the keepers want cubs removing which they all do then unless i want to loose my permission i deal with them,a pissy job and one i hate but this year two cubs went to a fella who keeps BOP,s who had the space to rear them instead of them getting shot and there doing fine after a few months of captivity. Never met a gamekeeper yet who'd leave a litter grow up on his estate and be happy with the loss of game etc... 7 Quote Link to post

Do you know how the cub was killed as there are many ways for young un's to perish out there mate,as it goes the worse folk i personaly know for just killing stuff for the sake of it are shooters.All year round and the only time they touch the soil is to put out a caller and pick dead stuff up,the rest is spent in a motor and some of the time i think the anti's do have a point ffs... 1 Quote Link to post
FOXHUNTER 5,020 Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 How do you know it was shot if no shooting allowed on the farm ? More likely to be killed by dogs. Looks a bit ragged to me. 1 Quote Link to post

Yeah, its a task that I do not relish,...but I've cleared litters from under customers sheds,..the Ballroom in a Holiday Camp (Hi De Hi) and once in a Nudist Camp! Locally, I am duty bound to assist the Keepers on several game shoots,..these guys have been fair to me in the past and permitted all sorts of fun and games on their ground,.so when the call comes out to provide a bit of, finding and flushing, I have to turn up... Personally,..foxes hold little interest for me,...I much prefer rabbiting... Enjoy the Summer lads and stay safe, kind regards, OldPhil. Edited July 4, 2021 by OldPhil 3 Quote Link to post

Neobliviscaris1776 1,998 Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 It that was killed by dogs, I'm sure there wouldn't be much left of it being a cub that size, unless the owner had to step in to help the dog finish the job! Could be anything. At least when shooting gets the ban in the future (if it does eventually) the average lazy sit in the truck type and shoot a litter of cubs in July will be gone, cause their too lazy to do any different. Just killers with no understanding of the countryside. 3 Quote Link to post
