lawrence 657 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 well, all to quickly its over again, with tomorrow probably being our last outing, been a decent one for us, with three young dogs having their first season proper, well pleased with how the lurchers preformed, both getting their fair share and the wee cocker's been a 100%, we have doubted him a few times but he's always proved us wrong, his tails like a locator, the faster its going the closer the bunnys are. we've also virtually stopped using purse nets, in favour of half a dozen 18ft stop nets, they cut out that running the hedge lark out and provide sport for the runners should they take the other direction, so its been a good learning season all round.

The one 8,484 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Been a hit and miss in different areas , some places that usually hold good numbers struggling to get a few and getting a bagfull off the quieter bits Quote Link to post

Could it be the ideal ferreting hound for small land and permissions , plus you could take it beating : ) Quote Link to post

Country Joe 1,411 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 A good season for me, but i don't now do big numbers, but usually have four at least on my mooches. The whippet is coming on well, marking and catching. It was good meeting up with Cumbrianratcher, had a couple of days out using different sizes of quicksets. really enjoyed it. Have pre booked a pup which will keep me busy. Sire 23 inch Whippet. Dam Bedlington X 3/4 Whippet X 1/4 Greyhound. Quote Link to post

OldhamLad 66 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Failed miserably to find anywhere to go ferreting with my new pup! best hope i find somewhere over the summer before the next season! Seen it on here before but the hardest hunt really is finding permission! And where i live theres bob all lol Quote Link to post
linde 17 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Mixed season, my usual good spots have not produced their usual numbers. But the smaller paddocks have done well, 3x 12. Not great numbers but enough for me. Last weekend this weekend, last week ran into 4 lots of littlens ! ATB Andy Quote Link to post
