Grimescar-keeper Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Was out in one wood on the estate today and saw a squirrel in a clearing. Set the dogs after it (golden retrievers ) was this illegal as i dont think we can hunt squirell with dogs??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whippet.22 Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Technically it is illegal as the only thing you are now allowed to catch with a dog is rats and rabbits, although due to the bill being hastily drawn up they only included traditional dog quarry and didn't allow for squiglets. But saying that it'll be a stingy **** who takes you to court over a squirrel, if I were you I'd carry on squig chasing in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenbears10 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 My spaniel caught a squirrel in the park when my missus was taking him for a walk before work. He got it in mid air as it jumped for the tree. He was more suprised than the squirrel that he actually got it by all accounts. I never thought it could be illegal what a ******* stupid law.

wambamboo Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 It was in the national papers about two weeks ago ,that a labrador was chasing a squirrel in a park and the squirrel atacked it, The dog had about forty stitches! But the strange thing is, It did not give the dog a nip and run like jiggery.It stayed and savaged the dog. regards Wam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country_est Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 They can be vicous bu66ers. Had one grab the Lab's lib when she went to retieve it after it got 32g of lead poisoning. She was wary of them after that. Mind you I allways make sure their dead before picking them up myself. Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 drill the dead fox or squirrel with 32g of No5 and no one will ever be any the wiser and the carcas can not be used against you as evidence dave Just a thought, do you think it wise to say this on an open forum? It doesnt paint a very good picture of the community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
