Cr@p Start To Her First Season

[pesky1972 5,321]

Been holding the pup back but at 11 months I want to start her on the lamp now. Had her out for the first time on Sunday and although she only had the one, she seemed to get into it pretty quick, and I was quite pleased with our first outing. Been working away for a few days and really looking forward to getting out over the next couple of nights and letting her have another go....but came back to this;

 

 

Quite a deep gash and just above the stifle so I think she might be laid up for the rest of the month at least. I know it's part & parcel but absolute p!ss timing.

I had the samething happen with mine on his 1st season injured at the beginning and plauged throughout the season so he hasn't had a full season yet to learn his trade, hope this season will be more productive for him.

 

Ferreting he learned ok as was out from 12 weeks of age his lamping game hasn't really got going yet.

 

Hope you have a good season with yours and you don't get the luck I got last season

can't really see from the photo, but if that is just skin and not cut the muscle it will heal up quicker than you think best of luck for the season

It is quite deep & has cut into the muscle but thankfully hasn't interfered with the joint. Stitched up & on the mend now. Cheers for the comments.
