trigger2 3,137 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 i had a txt earlier today of a friend asking if i fancied a run out tonight with the dogs as there was a nice band of rain forcast so we thought it best to take advantage. the night didnt start the best with my mate being a hour late but we cracked i run the pup first few runs to which he had the first 4 rabbits on the bounce. The pup was a little wound up and hard work in alot of ways tonight perhaps the malinios blood made him a little keen, but you have to take the rough with the smooth with young dogs. as the night went on and we settled the dogs quietly picked up a few rabbits missing a few along the way but we had the weather in our favour so the pup had a good chance of catching 1 or 2. if i hadnt got to be up early in the morning then it would have been interesting to see just how the pup would have got along as he still had plenty more runs in the tank if i was sensible with him. although i cut the night shorter than i would have liked to we ended on 15 rabbits with the pup accounting for 10 of those at the tender age of 7 months and my mates dog the other 5. pics to follow later when i get back in from my trip. 5 Quote Link to post

trigger2 3,137 Posted November 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Well done mate he is coming on a treat. The rabbit population down here is terrible hardly any about and got myxi on my bit its not brialant here at the moement to be honest mate. its hard to find a nice spot where the rabbits are green, so i need to put the weather in my favor. theres spot where there are plenty of rabbits but the young inexperienced lads hunt them you put the lamp on and the rabbits are gone you may just get to run 1 rabbit in some fields if you are lucky.
