Had a mooch about this afternoon.

[Ideation 8,216]

I had planned to get away with the ferrets and dog for the day, but Man Flu scupered that plan, and i had a lie in instead. Stilll, the dog needed getting out ad about, so i braved it in the afternoon, and had a local walk for 3 and a bit hours, letting to dog please himself and just followed him. There wasn't much about, but he found a few scents to work, and at one point dissapeared and then re-appeared with a cock pheasant which he put in my hand, he loves birds and has probably had about 50 pheasants this season. Unfortunatly my camera died early on, so only a few crappy photos. There was a funny moment where he went into a lake after some ducks, caught one, then lost it and it dived. He couldnt work it out poor bugger. Anyway, decent leg stretch for me and the mutt.

Sounds like a good little wander, sometimes its nice to just keep it local and chilled out

[Ideation 8,216]

Yes mate, it was pleasant, and nice not to have to drive for hours, but it just reminds me how thin on the ground game is local. It's my fault though. At least there will always be the pheasants lol.

Very good pics mate dog looks like it's marking well keep it up ATB no1

[Ideation 8,216]

ORT - yes mate i have been thinking the exact same. Finns foot still aint right, been a couple of months now, he is still catching etc, and not limping but it comes and goes, swelling up when i work him too hard. x-ray time me thinks. But aye, we will have a night out when you are ready, even if you just bring milly and pic up JB with Luna and i leave finn at home. Just be good to have a wander. On a decent night, there are a couple of local spots where you can get a dozen runs each maybe.

 

tomano - Aye, that wee dog will find any game anywhere, nose like a blood hound
