chris hickling 14 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 the only thing we can kill in england is rabbits and rats because do gooder anti hunting people have banned us you wont see a badger unless you know where to look they are shy and very secrative creatures no we can also kill foxes just cant hunt them with hounds or lurchers ,can flush with two dogs but must be shot and can also dig them with a baying terrier then shot , read up on the law.

I try not to hunt by any rivers or deep ponds because a coon can actually drowned a full size coon hound. so when your hunting coon with a beagle x treeing walker cross its not a good idea to hunt the rivers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
