watchman 256 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Went out for a couple of hours tonight with assasingirl and Blackstaff off here. AG ran her jrtxwhippet, Parker, and BS had the two pups he bred, bullxwhipgrey, Tod and Pearl. As usual my bitch is laid up so i was lamping The weather was perfect, wind and drizzling. Parker damaged one eye at the end of last season and has limited sight in it. We've been out a few times since and hes struggled to connect, he ran them well but kept missing his strike so i was starting to worry. He was back on form tonight missed the first one then caught two one after the other, caught the next one in cover but didnt retrieve it, not sure whether it got away from him or he just couldnt get it out of the brambles, which was a shame. Pearl and Tod have been retrieving, in a way, rabbits that had shot with the airgun but had not run live ones yet. A squatter out in the field offered a perfect first try and Pearl was slipped, she over shot on the first turn but got back on terms with it but it just got into cover ahead of her. It then pissed it down for ten minutes which sent all the rabbits in. Parker managed one more on the way back to the motor. At the next place the stubbles were a bit high and the wind had dropped off. Rabbits were about but close in, Parker got one slip which he really deserved to catch but missed, ran it into cover, flushed it, ran it into the next field outside the beam then back through the gate, several more turns but it got to ground inches in front of him. He seemed alot better tonight. hopefully hes adapting to the eye problem. In the last field Tod got his chance at a squatter. Due to a misunderstanding Parker was slipped at the same time luckily it actually turned out well as he turned it across Tod who ran ran it down the hedge and caught it with a spectacular tumbling strike His first rabbit on the lamp! That will be the end of lamping for him until after christmas now til hes full grown but at least he has started. The pups are 9 1/2 months old and really starting to come on. Plenty of ferreting between now and christmas and hopefully a lamped one for Pearl, if the ideal bunny turns up, and they should be ready for a proper start in the new year. A very enjoyable couple of hours and back home for a cuppa by 11, perfect for a week night! spot on that mate,you said it all "A very enjoyable couple of hours"thats what its all about Quote Link to post
herdwick 52 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Glad to hear he's getting used to running with 1 1/2eyes. He always puts so much effort in, you could see he was getting pissed off with not connecting as often as he used to. Have to get my bitch on the lamp in the next few weeks, if the knees are up to it! Quote Link to post
