Trail Hunting

Browning X Bolt 2 Cashback
Hello, This has always been Labour, Did not Blair ban Fox Hunting, I see the Right to Roamers want every Footpath/ Bridleway open, It would pay to check any Land Permission you have just in case there a long lost Public footpaths etc, I am sure a lot of Land Owners/ Farmers will find this a problem, on my friends farm they have lost footpaths right through some fields although never ever used
 
Sociology in the United Kingdom, fascinating.
United Kingdom... whoever chose to call the Islands such never had a crystal ball...
We are Doomed Pike.
 
Country pursuits are doomed, I've been enjoying everything from ratting, pigeon shooting, driven game, coursing, hunting, fly fishing, course fishing, loading and a few other things for over forty years and nothing is the same, the woolly jumper is being unpicked one stitch at a time by changing legislation and it will continue until we are staring at a jumbled heap of wool.

But I agree, it would be nice if we could all stand united to try and stave off the decline of the magnificent way of life in rural England.
 
My concern is that a ban on trail hunting will prevent us training dogs to follow deer blood tracks. Badly worded legislation could cause a major deer welfare issue.
 
How can you ban dogs following a smell ? Can you imagine how messy that legislation will be and how much it will be abused by antis to shut down other pursuits?

Unfortunately because of the same sort of band of folk that still in England and Wales shoot duck with lead shot. And that use trail hunting to "accidentally" get on the line of a fox. We have sometimes our own worst enemies not outside the tent but inside the tent. The law may be an ass but if we then use what is allowed as a mask to do what isn't allowed then we risk that limited circumstance that is permitted also being prohibited.

But there was good reason to ban lead shot for wildfowl. No good reason bar politics to ban hunting with hounds.
 
How common is the trial hunting law being abused by hunts who actually just hunt as normal??

U see these sab group f#ckwits popping up on faceache.
And there nutty followers.
Hunts never doing anything wrong.
Infact u rarely hear the hounds singing.
So cant be on a trail either.

Even when a fox shows up on camera, sabs go wild but hounds are nowhere near and not in voice on its line.
They claim its being hunted but it never looks like it.
But by the laws of averages ur bound to trip over a flush a fox sometime


Its a bit like raptor persecution if u believed half wot they said u'd think it was common place which is simply not the case at all.

Ive never been involved with hounds down south, althou have shot for some english gun packs that used yo come north off the border before the recent ban here

No. Entirely different sort of training required for a good ‘deer dog’

I remember many years ago Chris and I shot 90 foxes in a 4 farm area, bumped into the hunt master in Asda, how you doing?
Fine thank you just cant seem to find many foxes.
Oh blimey! Must go take care. 🙄
 
If you think that trail hunters are a field sport minority, how about deer tracker numbers? We’ll merely be collateral damage!
