a bolt and a dig today.


Recommended Posts

went out this morning with a few off the lads, tried a few spots just local no joy. headed out the road a bit and tried a wee spot that has been very kind to me down the years, always usually get a hunt there the farmers 100% and nobody seems to do it but ourselves. tried the first place well run but noone home. as we were walking down to the good spot i noticed a dark coloured fox in the field were the holes are he spied me also and headed for the bank, stopped took a look back at us and away he went over the brow of the hill. typical double ditch type burrows that have thick cover right along the ditch. collared up my lakeland and he entered, few barks and digging digging i knew he wasnt right up to it so let him plough away. few minutes later fox out down the drain lurcher after it through the cover. He put it to ground in another hole on up the bank. :boogy: very dark in colour like the one id seen in the field a few minutes before. dropped my dog again up the bank he didnt take long getting on this time. started to dig after around 15mins as he was steady, few sods out and my mate shouted ''fox'' down the ditch lurcher after it AGAIN. he missed it though threw the thick cover. :icon_eek: this wasnt the same dark coloured fox that had bolted previously and not as big either so i guessed it was a vixen. by then the dog had moved into a different spot out in the field and was still working away. we sat tight for a while and then opened up 1.1 handy enough digging. broke into the dog well in control off a nice dark coloured Dog fox. :yahoo: dispatched it quickly with my mates lurcher. such a sett off balls he had on him, :D they had probably mated already maybe a few times, so to be honest i was glad the vixen got away. the way i look at it there should be plenty next year in that area for us to get a hunt at so no harm done.

Anyway thanks for reading lads.........atb....MUDD.... :thumbs:
