jjfergus 30 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Out last night for a mooch about and my salukixd/h g/h starts air scenting,then hes off over the fence and into the next field out of sight,when i get within a 100 yards of him he looks like hes caught something but is struggling to pick it up,strange as he always returns anything caught.As i get to him he greets me with a blood covered chin and i realise why he was having problems with his prey ........it was a hedgehog.Anyone else with stories of strange quarry?

Guest joball Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Whats a hedgehog sounds like a mythecal beast. I caught a little hairy thing one night it had big ears, long back legs, small front ones and a little white tail havent got a clue what it was. Quote Link to post

She once shook one about before I could get to her and when I did I received a face full of guts, yummy lol Quote Link to post
