  8. This morning saw the second trip of this season,on my way up the dark motorway well before daybreak had the lurcher abit more restless than normal, it wasn't until I felt something crawl onto my lap I knew why.... The ferrets had got out of there box so a quick stop on the hard shoulder to catch them up and get them boxed up,then normal service resumed. Once we got to our chosen destination we could see a few rabbits moving about so things looked good, as the sun rose we started our climb up the fell side waiting to either see a rabbit drop to ground or wait for the lurcher to mark an occupied

  20. As with any hunting morning it starts off well before day break with a bowl of porrage and a quick slurp of coffee, then it's northbound to meet my hunting partner. Once all the relevant equipment is loaded into the van off we go, whilst meandering through the country lanes as dawn broke we watched 2 barn owls, 1 hunting the other being mobbed by a couple of crows.
