Ferrets hunt by scent mainly, as you can imagine, down a rabbit hole there sight would be limited due to darkness- but i suppose anything that came up against them whist there down there, like rats, stoats ect, would have a fight on their hands. Hey Neil, that dog looks nice, is it an English Bull Terrier? The scopes on the rifle are onle 4x40's but i only really use this gun on the farm shooting the pigeons and the occasional rabbit from the car window, so there good for what i need them for And as for big game hunting over here Hunter, The biggest things we get are Stags and smaller deer mainly from up in Scotland, ive never done this type of hunting before, but i sure would like too. This a is a guy of my forum who likes to do a bit A couple of small roe deer Both were shot at 50 yards in woodland with a Tikka 308

Yes it is/was a purbred Bully, female and quite a dog. Ooodles of personality and a motor that just wouldn't stop. Being white she suffered some skin probs and had to be on steroids alot, not in that pic but she would really beef up and get kinda cranky when she was on em so we tried to avoid them as much as possible. Very powerful dog, was living in the city then and was quite comfortable going to sea for stretches with her home watching over things. Got my house full now, girlfriend of just over a year has 3 Bouviers and a little terrier cross thingy plus I already had cats and let me tell ya...they don't mix well...lol..requires closed door management at all times.
I see the horns are alot differantly placed than a whitetail. Do you guys eat them...I'm sure.
My cousins tell me they don't fish or hunt much anymore because it is such trouble to find a spot to go closeby to Portsmouth...this could be they aren't as addicted as me...is it much trouble?
KPR ;D

KPR ;D Getting permission to hunt on peoples land can be quite hard, its all to do with getting the landowners trust and getting to know them well before asking to hunt on their land. Portsmouth is at the very bottom of England and there's a good area of land if you can only get the permission to use it.I live on the east coast in the middle and we got a lot of farm land, open fields forever around here and we gets lots of deer running about, but we also get a lot of poachers too, 4x4 pick up trucks, loaded with guys with guns and running dogs, who just go out at night to illegally hunt the deer witch angers the landowners like you wouldnt belive, and that can spoil it for people like myself who just want to go and hunt rabbits. All the deer that are hunted legally are kept to eat or even sold on to butchers shops /game dealers who sell it on to the public and there heads are sent on to the taxidermist and then mounted on a wallboard as a trophy for the kill. The ones in the pic looks like they could be pretty young deer to me, the ones i see are often a lot bigger.

Same problem over here with some of the landowners as well Neil. It only takes one bad experience to muck it up for everyone. The hayfield pic I posted...It was taken from the road and my buddy David's barn and another field are just out the leftside of the pic, lastyear a fella saw a 10point buck in the field, stopped and tried to get on it then...without permission....but ran it off. Thats was in the afternoon/evening, the next day before daylight, came back and positioned himself in the ditch halfway down the field on the leftside, buck walked out he shot it....now nothing too wrong with that-minus the no permission- BUT- the a-hole decided he wasn't going to drag it back up the hill, so he took down a wire blocking access to the field and proceeded to drive his 2wd truck down, he made some pretty ugly ruts down there before getting back out My buddy Dave is very easygoing and I gotta tell ya...I'd hate to be the next person stops and tries to hunt that field w/o permission. I never really gave it thought before that but I have a treestand just inside the bottom right of that field and I can see out there but have never seen one out there that was a shooter...from the tree... I'd be pretty wild if someone started shooting down that way while I was there. Took an 11 point there that went almost 300lb.
Not a real good picture of him, it certainly doesn't do him justice...but....I got instructions on taking better field pics this winter, so I'll try and do better on my next trophy pics...
KPR ;D
