woodga 170 Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) well the rain was spiting on and off the wind was good and a black nigh because of the cloud cover meant i was going to have a wander with the pup typp and the bitch flyte julie taylor from this forum tagged along just to watch the dogs run and a good laugh she was as well ratcherman who was supposed to work my pup this is the pups fourth outing on the lamp and julie ratcher and myself were really pleased at his retreive his pace and strike flyte is just a good bitch so it wasnt a supprise to see her rattling a few any way after taking 8 out of the first small field between them alternating runs the first 8 after the drop off at the gate ratcher and julia posing we headed off onto some good ground holding a few rabbits sitting well out julia had a rather moment when she got hung up on the wire calling for some nimble fingers still havnt washed that hand yet some more good catches typp with a nice retreive then we had to avoid the game keeper as we were walking some fields next to his pens a 1 mile walk in the dark and guess who fell into the river hardly walk this morning keeper avoided then back on with the lamp to continue the night the rain was coming down now we all got soaked but enjoyed the night ratcherman taking 16rabbits and me julia and tyyp taking 15, 31 rabbits in total a canny night the rain worked for us this time Edited September 29, 2007 by woodga Quote Link to post

Ratcherman 0 Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) A good night was had by all we run some good rabbits and the dogs made some good catches it was nice to see typp running he is a real flyer and still turns well on the rabbits the only downside he was retrieving the rabbits to me then p*****ing of to see his dad who was in the next field .I then swapped for flyte catching rabbits is like shelling peas for her hope ya backside isnt to sore woodga mind you its got plenty padding we enjoyed your company julia hope you had a good night Edited September 29, 2007 by Ratcherman Quote Link to post
jultaylor1972 2 Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 A good night? I had a brilliant night!! Typp was excellent, only his fourth time on the lamp and in the end he was retrieving to hand he managed to catch well into double figures One of the runs was excellent too - he was like lightening and was right on the rabbits tail the whole way!! It was great fun to watch. Yes, I got caught up on some barbed wire and poor Woodga had to strategically get me off without tearing my trousers in a rather embarrasing place He even did the shit kickers waltz straight down a steep embankment and into the river to celebrate!! i had visions of the air ambulance having to find us the way he hit the ground but he got straight back up and on we went to catch more rabbits . Flyte was a star too! Swiftly moving through the fields and bringing them all back to hand Altogether a great night and a BIG thankyou to both Woodga and Ratcherman for letting me join them! Oh, it took me 1 hour to prepare the rabbits for the freezer Mind you I did the last one much quicker than the others I'll put some pics up soon. Quote Link to post
jultaylor1972 2 Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Here's a few pics the rest were too dark to see anything. Typp with his retrieves and Woodgas change of footwear into Bart Simpson slippers!! Quote Link to post
