jultaylor1972 2 Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 I know its not the season but when someone gives you permission you grab the opportunity . longdogrunner and me were invited by whin off here to go and help him with his rabbit problem, there were so many rabbits I couldnt believe my eyes We started off with ferrets and had the lurchers to catch them, then we did a bit of shooting followed by lamping at night. The ground was tough going for the dogs at times and there were a few minor injuries sustained which rest will heal. It was a great day and I only showed myself up once when I didnt let Bruce loose when there was a rabbit tearing past The only downside was longdogrunner losing a ferret to ground she had got two rabbits before disappearing, we went back several times and longdogrunner dug to try and get her but to no avail . Whin is going to try and find her though so fingers crossed. he night ended with a visit from the police who thought we were poaching, lucky for us we had permission and one of whin's dogs jumped in their car for a look Big thanks for a great days sport to whin and Longdogrunner who kept me right all day. 1st Pic whin's 7 year old Lana. 2nd Pic Bruce and Lana on the chase. 3rd Pic Longdogrunner in some of the difficult ground. 4th Pic Longdogrunner and Whin trying to find missing ferret. 5th Pic Tess in the Police car last pic Longdogrunner with lamp.
