To be fare firemen if your not using locators & it's fairly deep, there's a good chance your hole not always going to be nice & neat first time..........there's a better chance with a bellman, I'd say.... 4 Quote Link to post

Understand that but there's two trenches there starting from some distance apart and either the game and dog were moving about or the men listening needed to turn the old deaf aid up .Not going to ruin a good thread but if there's a example of modern locators showing their worth over out dated old school methods then this is it .. 1 Quote Link to post

Blaise 2,322 Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Sorry, but my english is too bad to play "ping-pong" on the forum with all of you. Prior reminder : We don't go to hunt in order to become little heroes but to have good time. We don't look at badger hunting like some of you. Pleasure is more important than a feat. I don't search the amazing exploit. My arms are too weak, my dogs inconstants, badgers are too smart, earth is too rough. So I'll try to give you some honest explanations. 13 Quote Link to post
Blaise 2,322 Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 This monday, we were 4. My two sons, André and me. We've gone to a well known place near my kennel. We tried with a young Jack Russell, Hugo, a beginner. After 10 minutes, the dog found an animal. The hunt was moving from one side to another. We begun to dig in order to cut the hunt. We retrieved Hugo at 11h and tried with an older one. Comète is a parson Jack Russell bitch. She was efficient last year but now she's inconstant. The hunt continued in the same way, from side to side. At 12h, I retrieved Comète. Then, my oldest jack Russell bitch, Betty was given the job. She hunts closer the badger. The hunt seemed a bit deeper, the badger seemed less mobile. To be safe concerning my old little Betty, we dug behind the bitch. In the deepest part of the terrier, earth was soft. We heard the badger, it was working down. So we decided to extend the hole (that's the shot). At 17h, 8 or 9 ft deep, we reached Betty. We seen the brave little dog, she was barking and scratching. Badger continued his work. We couldn't see the animal because there's an angle in the tunnel. We dug a tunnel behind the bitch but earth was too soft, the tunnel began to collapse. So at 18h, we dug another hole, front to the badger. 2 hours later, badger was catched. 10 Quote Link to post
