A quick dig and a quicker bolt

[BEARINATOR 2,872]

Got picked up this morning by my mate with my young bitch and my old dog, met up with a keeper who had experienced terrific problems last season due to foxes. Whilst collaring up my terriers the keeper made us a coffee and after drinking that we set off. First place we tried was a nice looking 3 holer but held nothing so the keeper told us that some had been spotted using a overgrown ditch.

 

I left my dog off to see if he could push anything out, spotted a good looking fresh hole so checked around and found another. Entered my dog and with in minutes he was on. A mark of 1 meter so me and my mate set about with the spade and after a quick dig we broke through to a vixen with her cubs. My mate shot them and lifted out a vixen with a beautiful coat, best coat I've seen in ages . After the back fill we continued up the ditch with my young bitch working free.

 

After a short walk she started screaming at a hole, so I gave her the command and she was in baying like mad. After about 30 seconds I heard the keeper let off a shot and 1 horrible mangy dog fox was shot . Got my bitch back on the lead after giving her a good rag of it and we headed back to the keepers house. His wife made us a bacon sandwich and hot coffee whilst the keeper thanked us for our mornings sport .

 

As we were leaving he asked for both of out phone numbers in case he had any more problems so I've had a good morning out and hopefully got more permission
