It was one of them days you dream about on those long hot summer nights... when your planning your next seasons trips out.

The ferrets and the dogs were faultless in any way all day.. . Now thats not something that happens very often.

I got a few clips and missed some spectacular bolts and catches with the iphone..One that came out like a rocket mid air and bounced of the old dogs nose and into the young dogs mouth.. If only Rew was there to capture it.a great double bolt with the young dog catching both one after the other..the ferrets produced 15 with a couple of digs to the young Hob kit off sock's jill and my Top hob..the 2 me and tomo had are looking good so far,propper little killing machines.

 

As tomo said at one point I sat down on the ferret box and the dogs were working the sedge like a pair of book ends quartering in unison like a pair of syncronised swimmers..lol... It was poetic to see. they did find and catch 11 bunnies whilst i sat there watching them work together complimenting each others advances and not trying to steal each others glory in the catch,no fighting over who caught it etc etc.. One of them moments that make you realize that you aint done such a bad job with a wreck of an abused rescue dog and a pup you've reared and trained yourself..lol.

 

A great last days ferreting/hunting with dogs for 2015.

Enjoyed reading that lads ?

Can't beat watching dogs hunting up and catching, and all the better if they're doing it as an efficient, co-ordinated team. That'll be one of those memories that stays with you the rest of your life.

Exciting write up, Vin,.after reading it, I went down the kennels with my cur dogs and cried for an hour.. With my dogs, them reed beds, was my only real chance of a victory.
