The weather has been stinking hot 40+ so [bANNED TEXT] the weather man forecast a stormy night ,there is only one thing to do. I called a land owner .and loaded the staghounds . Arriving just after dark I set up my HID spotlight ,battery in my pack and a bottle of water . The wind was strong and staying in one direction ,heavy cloud made the night very dark. I headed off walking between the warrens and the open field . Letting the stags draw the lightly vegetated ground . as rabbits broke there seat i followed them with the spotlight. This is not my normal technique , I often use one d

Jigsaw It's taken a lot of work to keep them of the local wild life , stock proofing a dog is easy compared to roo proofing .

My brother who owns her uses her on all the local ferals . We have ran her with my stags on many hares but she needs more practice , still young . She has some stiff competition running with the stags the pair have a good understanding of the hare and bag a good number.

Ausnick , its around the echuca area , what's your location ? The rabbit population is real thick around the sandy country and rather low around the rest of the state . It's a shame because the sand warrens get a bit like honeycomb ( lots of tunnels) at times and a bit hard to work . Cheers

Hi all Out for a mornings sport with the ferrets and Irma my staghound and elexis my bothers deerhound pup ( what a monster) The air was cool with a north blowing wing , the sun had been up for a couple of hours when we ( my girlfriend and I ) arrived at the permission .
