neil b 2,355 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 After we were recommended to a keeper up north all the phone calls and arrangements made we set a date and today was the day, we have normally finished by now but I wanted my size 11s firmly in the door,so off we went. On arrival we jumped in with the keeper for him to show us a few likely looking spots, then he left us too it, it made a change from the windy open fells we have become accustomed too, we saw 2 rabbits drop in a sandy sett so we made a start, 10 bunnies later, and a small one we made a move to a release pen that was littered with holes, but without a dog today it was just a case of potluck, it was thick cover at times so it was just a case of setting the longnets round and through the rides the best we could. We were picking up 2s& 3s the sun was out and there wasn’t a breath of wind, we worked up and down each ride, we finished on 25 with only 1 dig, most of the does were in young. This would be out last outing for this season, we met back up with the keeper, with him giving us permission for next season on all 4500 acres, oh and bring the dog next time he said.... your canny lads!so until next season all the best Neil B 8 Quote Link to post
