Boxing Day Hunt Meets

[Bomag]

Would love to go to the meet, just never figured out where it is held

 

Not even getting into the hunting arguement, I hunt foxes, I love it, but I use a rifle and terrier

Surrey union? I think they meet up at the punchbowl some where!

My dad and i go lamping atleast twice a week on various estates in and around the county. We regularly have 2 or 3 a night. Even with the hunts using a quadbike with a foxblood filled sock or similar it is inevitable for charlie to get caught by the hounds. Its what they have been bred to do. The videos anti hunting and anti shooting groups put up on Youtube and on their own websites show the "bad" side of the hunts and shoots. I've videod shoot days on a commercial shoot where the guns shoot 300 + birds. All of birds go into th human food chain. Nothing goes to waste (we even reuse the ties!!). Granted some birds are "pillowed" but they are very few and far between. I have attached images of a commercial shoot i go to in Dorset. I shot there today infact. The first pic is of me on a drive known as Eight Acre bank. The second pic is of the game cart after the first two drives. The last picture is a group photo of all of the beaters and pickers up from the 2008-2009 season.

Fox blood filled sock...... Utter rubbish! the rag, duster or what ever they are draging around is for show ONLY and a back up story in case the preverbial hits the fan, I should know I did it! Every hunt in England is hunting foxes just the same as they were before the ban accept with some one carting around a bird of prey which is another loophole just incase.

Foxe scent is different from fox blood, urine or a dead fox being dragged around and when we tried it the hounds wernt the least bit intrested in it.

We killed on the first day of the ban and I know most other packs did aswell, if there big enougth to hunt the should admit it insted of hiding behind lies!

 

It annoys me when people they say there hunting a scent when there not.

So everyone else does exactly what you do eh?

 

 

You just seem to have a massive chip on your shoulder bud.

Na no chip on my shoulder mate, Im just sick and tired of all the hunts saying that they are hunting a scent when its a pack of lies, there is not one hunt in this country that hunts a scent other than a real foxs other than if the antis turn up filming and any body that is involved with hunting knows that I am telling the truth but is obvioully not going to admit it.

I think I shall pop into Newton Ards for the meet this year, but will have to follow on foot and car on account of been unable to ride that well.

If they are all carrying on as they did before, dos'nt it say something about the stupidty of this so called ban.

I can take as many dogs as I want to hunt a rabbit, but only two to hunt a fox, hare or deer, to flush towards guns.

I can take a bird of prey to kill a fox, hare, but not a dog.

How can I shoot a fox, leave it wounded and dying of gangrene and not break the law.

 

The hunting ban had nothing to do with animal welfare, it was all about Labour hitting back at the "toffs" as revenge for the miners strike, "Two jags" admitted that. How many hours of parliamentary time did it take up, how many thousands of pounds were spent ramming through a bill on something that the vast majority of people never gave a thought too.

Oh yes, and was'nt it about that time that Tony Blair took us into a war that has cost this country millions of pounds, hundreds of lives and a lasting legacy of a terrorist threat, it's a shame they did'nt put more thought into running the country instead of banning hunting!

And has the ban done anything for foxes, nope, there are far more killed today than pre-ban.

[Arborist]

Compleatly right cousain jack,

 

I cant remember the exact figures but there was hundreds more hours spent debating the ban compaired to going to war with Iraq and there were a few mp that retired once the ban had gone through saying that they have done there job.

Compleate wast of money!
