here are my two lurchers doing fox while out lamping

[admin]

Very cool NV. Thanks for sharing. You ever get one of them Foxes mounted?

[michihunter]

I heard you guys are pretty much out of hunting seasons. Is that true? Are you limited to the bunnies?

[nitevision]

no iv never had one mounted,probably cost me a fortune,kids allready do that.yes fox hunting is banned,hare coarsing is banned,iam afraid our gov made promises b4 they got in power,the hunting ban is about the only one they kept ;D ;D

[michihunter]

What about the surrounding countries- Scotland, Ireland, etc.

[nitevision]

the law applys to england,wales,scotland,and northern ireland,all being the 4 countrys that make up the united kingdom,southern ireland have their own laws,iam not a hundred per cent sure what they are,

[michihunter]

I didn't realize that was how it worked. Do you have UK laws as well as individual country laws?

[nitevision]

it sounds stupid but yes and no,scotland,wales,and northern ireland,have their own parliments,but cant collect their own taxes,only the english parliment can do that,its complicated,and i aint got much time for politics,their are a lot of us who take no notice of the hunting law,for me its about tradition,heratige,and birthright,iam not out sellin crack or commiting a major crime,iam just hunting,the way we have hunted for hundreds of years.

[michihunter]

Great point NV!! Is there a grassroots movement to change these ignorant laws?

[nitevision]

again,a nonsensical answer,there is an there aint,the people who hunt,or hunted with dogs are from a broad spectrum of the different classes,one looks down on the others method of hunting etc.then even within ur own hunting community people fall out,over the most stupid things,an example of wich is the my cross of hunting dog is better than yours,again i keep myself to myself,hunt now and again wiv a few people who are trustworthy,after all jail time is their answer,a man just got six month for badger diggin,wich has been illigal for many a year.

[michihunter]

Sounds like you need to jump over to this side of the pond NV!! There's no way in Heck that that would happen here in our lifetimes.Hunting bans that is. But you'd still have to put up with the "My dog is better than yours" attitude in a lot of places!

[nitevision]

do you know of any running dog sites over there m8

[michihunter]

A little more specific please. Are you referring to any specific animal or fox and bunnies.

what i mean fella is that most of the american sites iv looked at dont seem to have a forum 4 hunting wiv dogs,have you ever looked at any of our sites over here

[michihunter]

Ain't done much browsing UK style. Got any you'd recommend? I live in the Northern US where dog hunting other than upland birds and bunnies is frowned on. The South uses them for just about everything. Sorry NV!!

[nitevision]

no problem m8,try moochers hunting.com,or the hunting life.com,speak to you again m8,good hunting

[michihunter]
