first catch

[bedwhippet 164]

i went for a quick mooch with a pal of mine just local to me sticking to footpaths which were through fields, letting the dogs use there noses and just generally keep themselves entertained until we started walking on a farm track so put all the dogs and pups on leads as a tractor was coming behind us,, walked past the farmhouse and a couple of fields over cut down a hedge line in a field and there was a rabbit just sat on the edge of the thick grass, let my 13 month old buddy pup off the lead and rabbit bouced in the hedge with dog quickly following suit,, rabbit then bounced out again with dog following and quickly snapping up his first kill,, chuffed to bits as he didnt seem interested on the lamp the night before not even bothering with squatted rabbits, ( i put that down to in experience)
