VODAFONE 0 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hi all i was out the wkend with my two russell terriers for a bit of booshing on a local golf course but it was very poor so on the way home i call to a place with a few rabbits . So pulled the van up when a fella i know was just getting out of his i ask whats up and he said his dog had pushed a fox up and run it to ground and it was in on it . So i stayed to help him out 35/40min on and the baying had stoped so i try'd my 2 yr old bitch she marked one hole but she was to big next minute she was gone then his dog came out 20/25 mins and nothing so we dug a trench and found the tube and just on a bit she was tight up ragging it i hope that just the start . ?????

sambo123 594 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 leave him alone lads. u dont work them earths so they mean nothing to you. give him advice rather than jump down his throat. Quote Link to post
donnyc 1,203 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 When I started locaters were unheard of .Like to see some dig without one nowadays.Not condoning it just making a statement.I honestly cannot remember having to sink endless holes either Quote Link to post
Guest tawny Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 sometimes,youve ot no choice but to f**k them up. easyer to go in than down sometimes,thats the way it goes. mind you ive seen hell of a lot of small earths get wrecked by hounds digging, and they realy dont give a f**k Quote Link to post
VODAFONE 0 Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 i didnt trench the lot a 3 ft long one across where the tube run a few feet back from the entrance just enought to got the dog out then backfilled it .So when your stuck like that you have to options in my eyes stay and wait or have a shallow dig to where the dog was baying from . So how do that f ch the earths up then im interested to know Quote Link to post
