Attitudes to fox hunting survey

[Danllan]

This 'survey' could be of no academic use at all since the questions show little, and is some cases no, objectivity. @zoologist nerd I'd have no problem helping out with your survey, as I have with others, but you have to apply a proper degree of academic disinterest if you want to get proper results and to be taken seriously.

i do shoot for fun also to put food on the table! i will eat most things i shoot
and to be honest i'm not no kind of hero i just dont a shot if i think there is a chance of wounding an animal
i could get more numbers maybe if i shot at everything i seen but then i wouldn't get a clean kill

The survey would also need to to be presented to a representative cross section of the public, unless the views of a particular 'type' were being sought.

The average opinion here on TFF may well be quite different to the average opinion of the psychotic fascists who frequent the mums-net forum.

So you never get a runner?Wether it be pigeon, rabbit, fox or what ever.

if i have had a runner it isn't a clean kill!? or may need a follow up shot so no
as when shooting my rifle it's iver a head or heart shot
with my shot gun all bird or rabbits ect are dropped.
im not saying this because i think i'm the best shot going, as said in my previous posts i don't take a shot if think i have got a chance of injuring not killing

I know they are a bunch of judgemental, self-righteous hypocrites, but are they really that bad?

I would think someone who has seen his lambs and chickens ripped to pieces would have a different opinion to others , like i had of Sparrow Hawks who took all my doves

Maybe I was a bit harsh...

I might dare search their site for "foxhunting" or "fox hunting" or similar...

I say ban Crocodiles !!

Personally I'm not against fox control, but I am not in favour of hunting with hounds. I accept that once caught the hounds will normally despatch the fox fairly quickly - it's more the chasing of that fox across half the county that I dislike.

If I hit everything I shot at I would probably give up as it would be boring.

A PhD thesis will only contribute to published research if it survives the scrutiny of peer review.

Additionally, "A British thesis is classified as an unpublished work." Dr. Iain McDonald, PhD,MSc, MSci(Hons) re Stellar Mass Loss in Globular Clusters.

Therefore an extract from a thesis cannot be used as a published quotation.

The survey was not up for long was it? Maybe the OP has taken the wisdom of members to heart and is creating a new and better survey.

I would shoot clays and win lots of nice prizes and money.

The idea of never pricking a bird is ridiculous unless you are shooting them in a cage from about 2ft away.

 

[Hopley89]

i'd say it's more about picking the best bird to kill not just go at it with a loads of shells every body always misses something no one is that good of a shot not to miss!

 

[Doing it for the kids]

hunting foxs or any animals with a gun is surpose to be a clean kill, myself and hopefully others shouldn't take a shot or hunt something if they can't get a clean kill,
where hunting with dogs they rip the fox to bits and use it as a toy! so the fox doesn't died instantly it surfers!?

if you was lambing and they attacked your lambs wouldn't you want them gone?? or wouldn't it bother you?

You tit.

You telling me you have never winged a Pigion flighting on OSR or not picked a wounded rabbit lamping?

Yet hounds may injure a fox but not kill it. Ever watched puppies play fighting? Where do they pounce, on their siblings tails!? No, their throat. Name a hunting animal that doesn't!

You sounded like a genuinely countryside lad until you said that.

tit

and of course i know i have got hunting dog you tit, and to be honest i don't know what the dogs do i haven't seen it or done it but look at my previous posts
