    Hi lads,
    New to the sport. I do a bit of ratting with the terrier (JRT). Mainly in autumn at harvest time. Recently made redundant, so I have more time on my hands. Looking to do a bit of foxhunting etc with terrier?
    Any advice?
    Anywhere wher I can dig out a few foxes?

    I'm not really up to date. Is there a season when I can dig them out, or can I dig all year round? I don't want to do anything illegal.
    As well I was thinking about snaring a few foxs and then baiting them to the dog. I live in a housing estate and there's loads of foxes around. I was thinking if I left food out at night I could easily snare a few....

    Why?
    Is it illegal to trap foxes?
    Is it illegal to set dogs on them?
    Are they not vermin?

    Am I the only one here to smell a troll.

    I would say the only thing being bated here is us.

    Don't think there is any as law to stop you digging foxes at any time of the year , but most terrier men would only start hunting/digging from late September and then finish up in March. From April to August theres a lot of cubs around ..... Also I wouldn't recommend setting snares near a housing estate, as you could well end up with a snared dog and an angry owner rather than your intended quarry.......
