Jettyboy 174 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Had our first look out of the season a couple of weeks ago with Cassie and Tara as the wind was up and it was nice and dark. Both dogs were doing well then Tara seemed to go off the boil and looked like she couldn't turn properly, so we checked her over and she'd split one of her stoppers wide open so we had to call it a night with her. We carried on a bit further with Cassie, doing a few more fields - she was running really well carrying on from where she left off last year. One of the runs that stood out was when she boxed a rabbit off getting between the rabbit and home, keeping it away from the hedge, turning it 3 or 4 times before snapping it up and retrieving it back to us. We had to cut the night short because on her last run the rabbit took Cassie over a farm track and when she came back she'd ripped her front nail and the quick clean off, so we ended the night with 16 rabbits - 4 for Tara before her injury and 12 for Cassie. So we had 2 injured dogs - what a start to the season!! While Tara and Cassie were injured we took Penny for a look out with Lucy: Then out with Tara and Cassie after recovering from their injuries - keeping them ticking over: 6 Quote Link to post

AirgunGuy 362 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Nice mate. Great to see the Whippets. I've been taking my 16 month old Whippet out with the lamp on to the golf course permissions that i usually shoot on and he's been doing well. He hasn't managed to nail any yet but he has had some good chases. They seem hit the cover or go out the lamp too quick. He also comes straight back and lies at my feet on call or as soon as the rabbit goes out the lamp which i think is a great achievement in a short space of time. Is it just me or are rabbits hard to lamp on GC's? They seem to be able to run like f..k on the short grass 1 Quote Link to post
