how is the weather effecting the work you are getting for the dogs?

[the durham digger 127]

This past year has been wet and shitty in my area, with large areas of my permission flooded what seems like every other week. Unlike rabbit numbers which seem to be down countrywide we have a strong fox population despite the weather and lampers... the problem is my pipes and earths on the lower ground are f****d and holding a lot of water, iv had a bit of joy in rock piles but nothing to write home about. I think that the best holding places at the moment will be bales so im planning an assault on the bale stacks next out..... how is this shit weather effecting your work and how are you getting around it?

same as, drains are running with water.

as you will know, rivers around us are know out in the fields.

finished worked at 10.30 this morning and had dogs out, rabbitie spots on banks sides are even piss wet

[the durham digger 127]

Yeah mate, im living in a pumping station off bentley moor lane pumping backed up water off the fields, then when im done here im back up pumping water off marsh lane.... its not how i hoped xmas would pan out, i will be living rough until first or second week in january! I tried a few places local to me last week and almost every spot i went to was holding water. Its typical that i have a bitch ready to start and im struggling to find. Plenty of foxes about though, we knocking plenty out of cover while out for a walk! Frustrating!!

you seem to be a bizzy man well with work an being on here,,,,,but why dont you use your water pump on the 5 holes ye know and make them nice an dry earths or just move on and look for new ground ye lazy cnut or just wait till summer time

Why is it someone has to start givin it the big un on here instead of saying something constructive? If you have nothing sensible to say dont bother pipeing up, and yeah i am busy thanks- business is brisk as f**k, but that might be something to do with the county being underwater. You dont know me or f**k all about me so leave your childish personal attacks out my posts please.

where i live we have the best of both worlds ..................we have the hills and the levels

there is plenty holding on the hills and down on the levels they are as you said in barns / high banks...............

the holes this year on the higher ground are holding plenty and ive had good reports ............alot let run for another day

there are alot of foxes around this way and some quite tame ones............(released we think) lol were out on the edge of some levels today will let you know whats about to ground ............

we had alot of rain last night so should be holding a few.............

cheers

[the durham digger 127]

Cheers mate, appreciated...... fingers crossed you drop on. Yeah i think in the new year i might head up to my permission on higher ground, i think its going to be hard going finding lower down unless things change quickly. Good luck mate!
