patterdalejoel 669 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 just got pics of dog really.... all i could be arsed photographing as i was trying to get some good vids of courses but didnt get many.... best one was the dog marking then bushing a rab out some reeds then coursing it and nailing it..... made all the walking and carrying shit worthwhile that 3 second chase we opened some well used dropboxes on the edge of a wood leading up a big slope... then bushed it out with the 2 dogs and us lot stood on a beating line... ferreting out a couple and 1 or 2 with the gun.... the dog was absolutely f****d she was running around non stop had to carry her for a bit after this, she was in heaven. here is a vid... dont know if it will work.... its Johns fault there was no catch after him not paying attention haha ended with 33, 24 netted the rest shot or with some involvement from the dogs... cant beat baler twine.

patterdalejoel 669 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 should of said, we beat the wood out with the aim of dropping them into the boxes. we got 5 extra from doing this and it was great fun seeing the dogs, and there was rabbits everywhere. i was nearest the fence and could here the trap dropping them in. great fun. we then unset them as whoever put them in hadnt bothered and it was full of dead uns that had been left to die which isnt nice.
