out with the old lad last night

[lurcher330 2,301]

Went out with my old lurcher dog last night for a check around some permission i gained during the summer,It is all tillage land so i have been waiting on the crops to be cut to have a look,he is coming into his 10th season of work now and still a pleasure to take lamping and still gives his best,no slip just me the dog and lamp ,just have to hold him up if i'm calling in a fox so he doesn't try and run them too early while their coming in.A few of the fields are cut and baled but most are still long and a few have not been baled yet so the rabbits are sticking close to the hedgerow ,not passing the piles of cut straw.there was a good few rabbits about but only had 4 worth giving a spin and out of the 4 he bagged 3 hard caught rabbits.seen a few foxes about perched up on the bales but none would entertain my calls.but it seems like a decent spot and should be a lot better when the rest of the corps are in and all the bales lifted.

 

We have a lamping comp coming up and i'm gona run this old dog and see how he goes against the younger dogs.
