Good to see bunnies making a comeback. Had some good hunts last few outings on land that was wiped out with plague. Last time I was on this land I got bout 4 diseased rabbits, caught easy. Not back in big numbers but they're healthy. Good to see.

Got out for quick hr this evening, went down to a spot I walk em regularly. Used to be plenty of bunnies on it but disease wiped em by last March. Started to see some fresh signs recently there was one or two back on it. Lurcher Cú marked one in a small briar,Floyd flushed him and got good hunt at him through big briars and bolted twice more. Lovely work out of him.

That short video of a rat mark was only bit of action we had all day. Out all day, put the miles in, tried cover after cover, ditch after ditch, wood after wood.......dogs never even threw the tongue once.....can't blame the dogs cos they'll hunt scent when it's there and they'll find hunts when there's scent about but today was nothing... Floyd did make one mark and we got two of the four rats in the burrow....

Perfect after a long day mooching with dogs through the fields!

We're pals and been hunting with him over 30yrs. He's sound, lives for his dogs and hunting. My terrier sired his last litter across his beagle. Most hunting lads from that neck of woods would know me.

Yep

Na. Rabbits been wiped out in certain spots around me. Been lamping since mid 90s I can find rabbits with any color beam, if they're there.

Had good 6 hrs out today with my mate and his couple of beagles. Flushed fox and rabbits. Got some good hunts. Got nice view of a fox as he came right outta the cover to me.

Yeah

Took dogs and new lamp out for a test run. Not a rabbit to be seen but very impressed with this lil beauty. Clu-Briter club sp. Very handy lil lamp. Compact, light and handy.

I got him for working with hounds but he was made for rats and bushing and never showed any inclination to go to ground and tbh that suits me now.
-
Oh most definitely. Best lil dog I ever had. Tbh I don't wanna be digging anymore, I'm happy out mooching and digging rats
-
Venison loin chops(shot by a mate), eggs and cheddar. Beautiful little cuts of meat.

Beast

Not a working terrier in the true sense, he doesn't work below ground, but an excellent busher and does mark and dig out rats, hunts rivers and streams well.
-
Looking forward to seeing em in fields.
-
Nephews pups. Dog and bitch.
-
I didn't but the fella with bitch kept 2 and 2 of me nephews kept one each as pets/occasional moochers so I'll be out with em over the season, they're ready to start now.

Young lad took dogs out today had better luck than me yesterday.

Had first Sunday mooch of the 24/25 season. Scent was scant, Floyd struggled to keep a line going but he worked hard. Plenty of game birds about and big eared game but very little vermin. Marked on rat on an old ditch but the burrow was full of roots and ground was dry and hard like concrete so I filled in and moved on. Not best day out but look at least Sundays are gonna be in the fields and countryside.

Some great meals out on the holidays but this was probably the best..... steaks were top notch.

I keep mine pretty fit during summer tbh get alot more walking than during the season during the week. I'll like em fit and ready to go once weekend outings start. When all barley's cut I'll start getting out an evening or two a week and mooch along local rivers. The estuary where I take em swimming always has plenty of rat scent along the rocks at the edge, occasionally we get one during the summer but they're very hard got cos rocks are so big. Never had a terrier or lurcher in me life that loved water like these two.- 1 reply
