Popular Post farmerkev09 105 Posted November 23, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Good wind last night had me on my toes so morning arose and I was out with the old boy. Going to all the known spots was a fail so turned him loose to run aside the truck just coming to a small dyke I seen a little spoil no more than a small bucket full and the old dog was senting in the long grass but couldn't work out which way it had gone so called him up and turned on his collar and walked him 15 20 ft to the hole on looking I said to myself rabbit but the dog said otherwise. 30 seconds in bump a vixen bolted and was despatched. With being only a one holer I waited for him to rise only to feel the ground below rumble I waited for him to settle and a short wait I had 0.6 on the box. It felt like I was ferreting it was that shallow. Breaking through he was there Baying like a trooper to a good size dog fox. Not a testing morning my any shape or form but a good morning all the less. 28 Quote Link to post
rob284 1,682 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Fairplay. They seem hard pushed to ground here. Sods law, all dogs laid up and we had HEAVY rain last night and this morning, would have been ideal. Quote Link to post
