hunting1234 122 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 thats how i entered my dog (legal here in NI) he was slipped on his own at a week or 2 before his 2nd birthday which is also the start of my hunting season sept/oct , he gave the fox some run turning it half a dozen times before striking as the fox tried to go through the hedge , being the first dog ive brought on from a pup to take fox it was all heart stopping stuff to watch and wonder if he was going to do it or not good job Quote Link to post
