First Day Out Since Last Season


Recommended Posts

Was out on a bit of permission we've got today for the first time since last season, due to badly breaking my ankle at the start of the season.

 

We had our patterdale pup out and a Russell that has had plenty of fox work over the past few years. We let them run on to smash through the cover before checking a few Earths that have held in the past. After checking most the cover on one side we took the terriers over to where the Earths are. As we arrived at the earth the black pup flew into a bit of cover where he ousted a Charlie from his hiding place! Black pup almost on his arse but the b*****d got away, SHIT! Pup came back and was put on the lead, the Russell was let off and flew straight to ground, he came back out and dropped back in, this time he made contact, we heard him baying away left him to work! we were getting reading of 1.9 on the bellman. After about half hour a flash of ginger come tearing out 1 of the 2 holes this earth has, the gun took a shot! MISSED! F@CK!!!

 

Checked another couple of holes but nothing home so loaded the dogs back into the motor and off home we went.

 

Didn't get the dig we wanted, and through our own sloppiness/rustiness two bird killers made there escape, but by f@ck it was great to get out with the terriers again after all this time.

 

This pic wasn't from today but this is the Russell we used -

again nice dog mate showing his age now atb cant beat a good russell

 

Yeah he is mate, think he's about 7 or 8 now? He's no great shakes, as far as digging goes I've seen many better than him, but many worse as well. He works cover well and has proven a handy little dog in the past.
