Birdboy 2 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Had our final dig of the seaon the other day, not a bad one to finish up on. Took the terriers out and marked a two hole spot that went into a steep bank, didnt llok to clever but terriers gave a good mark, so we dropped the dog in and waited for the bolt. With no show of charlie or terrier we assumed that he'd bottled him up somewhere. Turned on the B&F and got a mark at 3.5m, we waited for a while hoping for it to shift but no luck so we started to dig, after 2 shovel loads the B&F pips slowed down so obviously charlie wasn't bottled up. Anyhoo gave the dog a bit more time and kept our eye out on the holes but still nothing. Finally, got a steady mark at 2.5 and didnt move an inch whole time so we dropped the hole. 2 hours later we broke through, which was a mighty relief as we couldnt hear anything until we were about 0.3 off the dog. Fox was dispatched humanely and a very happy keeper at the end of it when we gave him the good news. B&F at 2.5 (can only just make it out) Good Result! Cheers, Birdboy Quote Link to post

Birdboy 2 Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 that was some bit of digging done in 2hours fair play to ya Well picture gives it away, orange soil, nice and sandy so digging was quite easy. Only thing was it was quite damp soil so it sticks to your shovel pain in the arse having to knock it off all the time. Sadly no pictures of the dog, on loan from a hunt kennals, did the job very well! Quote Link to post
