They can be a nightmare even with the right dog sometimes

Hell yes. Need a fox only little yapper for deep piles.

i only mess with em mate to be honest.

shallow piles with only foxes hiding.

thought i had a fox bitch. Her mother was 1st class and bothered nowt else.

Unfortunately her daughter has other ideas.

They always run for the rocks where I am. I’m not a terrier man so I just leave them for another day. I was out on the hills last year a good 4 or 5 miles from the nearest road. Dogs took off and I located them at a remote pile of rocks marking. As you can see from the pic  somebody had been there recently and a dog must have dropped in. The rocks above have all been dug out. Must have been some work doing that and the only way up there would be by quad/ATV.

No,, never, if one carnt do it its no good to me,, I've known a few lads over the years put more than one in ,and one fella had 5 in,, if you read the old fell and moorland year books,, half the rescues in rocks have been 2 to 3 dogs in at once,,
