THE DALES,,cold old night

[whin 463]

ye saw bryn run up mines that bitch not a bad looking dog

[trigger2 3,137]

had another look up there last night,, with poacherspocket, frankel, and ginnyspiner,,

 

for the first hour or so, we walked out along the same fields, frankel and ginny with the labradoor, and me and poacher with vunus,,,, we put the two lads on the wood side wich has a bank infront of it,, we took the easy walking at the bottom of the fields,, trouble is the few bunnys that were out were on there side.

 

by the end of the first hour we had 4 between us, so we decided to split up proper sending the boys on some land we did last thurs,,,, whilst me and andy, did some virgin terrortry..

 

this proved a good idea because the rabbits were very scarse,, the moon was just to bright despite the howling gale , they were just to spooky.. anyway we started to add 1 and 2 to the bag,,, at this point we were about half way up a hill,,, but we got to a point where we needed to either take a risk and go up,,, or go down to fields we new didnt hold much..

 

we went up hoping for a flat plato,, now it was only about 50 feet but it was so steep our hands were touching the ground in front of us, and poor old andy had about 9 or 10 bunnys . we got to the top and were greated by a flat plato thank feck and a good few bunnys.

 

some cracking land up there, both for the lamp and ferreting,, so we cracked on and venus was adding them steadily to the bag,, she realy does walk nicly to heel without the slip, just a "get on" to send her up the beam.

 

anyway after an hour or so,, again the desition came to either go up or down,,, we chose down this time as time was mooving on , and to be honest with that climb our old legs were buggered..

 

we eventualy arrived back at the motor ,, the boys were already there, they had managed 10 with reggie the lab pup,,, me and poacher had 19 with venus... nowhere near the number of last week ,, but just shows how difrent weather conditions can effect the bag.....

 

although the bag wasnt impresive ,, 29 bunnys is still a good shift in reality ,,, ,, a good crack as usual with me and andy,,,, cheers TOMO

 

nice one lads, its good to see some folk are actually out there doing a bit what ever the weather.

Cheers for the night and NEARLY killing me off Tomo...i appreciate it NOT haha...i should of knew better than even setting off,i was still fecking ill from our last trip..this b*****d as nearly seen me off and thats the truth!! Tough night for what little we caught compared to other nights BUT you can't catch em if the dog can't even get onto the fecking little shits..very flighty bunnies for what we seen last night and that was even on some ground that i'd be amazed if they had even EVER seen a dog and lamp? The very high ground myself and Tomo had a look on i could see it giving us a good night in better conditions?..i will certainly have to be in better health though before trekking up there again in pursuit of a few conies!! Anyhow..cheers for the shift,i seen young Reggie nab a few too,retrieved grand and was doing things nicely...thank f**k this moon is up because i don't think i can do another shift lol...ATB Andy.
