NEWKID 27,535 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Perfect weather last night so me and a mate decded to long net a field on his permission and give the dogs a lamp as well. Set the nets in galeforce winds at around 10pm then went back to the van to get the dogs. Took my pup and my mates experianced dog flicked the lamp on and saw a few rabbits bolt to the net 1 sat and my pup put it up ran it for about 30 secs and nailed it in the middle of the field we had 9 in the nets and 1 to the pup . picked everything up and away to the van left my pup there, and took my mates 2 dogs out accross the rest of the permission we had another 10 around there. The weather was too good to stop so drove to another bit of permission about 30mins away, and let the pup have a few runs she nailed 1 after a great run and my mates 2nd year dog had 2 more. Really pleased with how mine ran just got to get the retrieve sorted, she caught from a long slip and went straight down the beam each time, I'm buzzing about this season. ended the night with 23, the nets accounted for 9 and the dogs put 14 in the bag between them, great start to the season. Got in at 4am and was up at 7 30am for a on site meeting, feel knackered but happy. Quote Link to post

NEWKID 27,535 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Nice one Bill, I bet you'r well chuffed. Yeah she was good last night. We saved her a bit for the 2nd bit of permission as the thy're smaller fields. But the grass was a bit too long in a few of the fields, so I wish we had ran her more in the first bit, but that's life. There was no mixy at all in those last night I've only had a couple over the summer as well, hopefully be a good year. Quote Link to post

simonrocco 175 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 well done pal i was out last night only got 6 rabbits but my dog was running well so pleased with that had to call it an early night though cause of the heavy rain and lack of waterproofs atb for the season pal Quote Link to post
J Darcy 5,871 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Sounds like someones had a great night! Better than what i've been having lately! Rabbits being conspicuous by their absence. But still, nice to get out and about. I 've got those stinging eyes today having gotten to bed late (early?) but the weathers the best it's been so far this season so can't sit in at home when the winds whipping the trees about. All the best....JD Quote Link to post
