pups first night out

[sambam 8]

iv been wanting to take the pup out to watch and learn lamping for a while now and missed a few outings with mates but my dads mate rang me last night askin if i fancied a shine with my pup which is about 8 month old and his dogs. as you can imgine i jumped at the chance.

he picked me up about 10 and we drove to his prmission, shone the first to 2 fields without any luck, third field ther was 3 hares and a roe so becauseof the f**king ban we crossed the fence and the fourh field had about 20 sets of eyes in the lamplight.

first few runs i let the pup watch but he was goin mental pulling and the odd yap tryen to join the chase so the lad said slip your pup doubled up with mine on the next easy rabbit. my pup done well didnt get a catch but it was the first time hed seen a live rabbit. i give him 3 runs and he got his mouth round around a live one that the other lads dog brought back to hand. the pup seemed realy keen but was reluctant to retrive the dead rabbits when we let him have a play with them. had a good night and a good laff and will be taking him out alot more with his dogs

we got home about 12 and ended the night with 7 rabbits out of about 12 runs, i took some picks on my phone but ther poor quality so wont bother posting any

hoping the pup will settle down abit after a few more outings but at least hes keen
