Mooch

[terryd 8,490]

Good mooch about with the pup today tire the little bugger out. All ways take the ferret in case I get a mark. Be nice to get netted rabbit for her to grab. Tough going this way though even an adult would struggle. Makes it all the better when it does happen though. Flushed few pheasant chased a squirrel all good fun. Bumped into a chap with a terrier today too. Not sure which one of us was most surprised Nice to meet you hope you got what you wanted. Bloody great to see some one out there doing there thing.

There is odd few about but all ways in thick cover. A terrier would be more suited but also get me in lot bother. So for Lurcher pup it’s hard going.  Just case of searching out the easier holes and she will find some thing in end. Once penny drops we be in business

Yea that sounds about right. Think it’s important to honour pups mark. Once you get going it don’t matter so much

Good luck mate enjoy

Well she got to grab a rabbit. Heard a thump and a rustle in thick old hedge. Pup started casting about and wanted to go through the fence. Unknown to me there was bloody fox next door. I could see a one holer tucked away so had a hunch. She wanted to go after the fox so tied her up then cheeky sod walked through to our side and walked across field. She was focused on him so didn’t see the rabbit balled up in the hedge but at least she got a bit of fur in her chops so it will all come together 

Actually got two out the one hole. Just netted the run as couldn’t get it over the hole. You can’t beat it
