craigy 1 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Out for a mooch with the air rifle had my young springer with me was out to get him on to live game felt he was now ready at at 16 months had made the dog sit and stay till I had a stalk over the hill to a small patch I knew sometimes holds a bunny or two as I got to the top it was starting to get dark and could just make out two bunnies at about 25 yards out..Had a shot and a bunny bagged but it managed to make cover to some heavy gorse bushes so called Baillie over and sent him in the rough direction it had last gone on a blind retrieve and after about 30 secs out he came with the live bunny and retrieved it to hand so well chuffed to say the least makes all the time and effort worth while 1 Quote Link to post
