Tommy 9 Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Had an hour out with my big fell type dog and my nephews (his dog but Cleverly its KENNELLED at my HOUSE) Plummer bitch !!! I'd been out early this morning with my mates lurchers and when i got back home decided to have a quick wander with the terriers. I took my little 'Ruck sack' with me as it has a folding spade and a few nets in, just in case !! Juts as i set of my mate called and he was going on the same land to scope his .22 rimfire in and so insted of a quick walk i got a lift, proper LAZY twat !!!! I was just working the terriers through some bramble beds and was happy just working them above ground as i was tired from been up early (5.20am) this morning !!! When i got to an area where i know theres a few earths i put the locator collar on the red fell dog and let him check them of the lead. He checked one earth and when he was on his way to the next he picked up the pace and entered the earth like a Rocket !!! A fast as i could i chucked a few nets over the three holes and then stood back and tied the Plummer bitch up !! The dog had been down about 15 mins when i heard rumbling and then the net exploded with Charlie bouncing about. The plummer was going mad at it as she could reach him from where she was thethered and wanted some action, but i managed to break her away from the action !!! My mate soon got his boot on the fox, while i tried to check what sex it was (harder than you think when the things wriglling all over the place) !!! If it had been a Vixen we would have let her go but the farmer has poultry and he doesn't want any less than what he's got !!! My mate humanely dispatched the dog Fox and i decided that it was time for home after the dogs had had a good rag !!! I didn't have my camera with me as the batteries had run out in the morning when i'd been out with lurchers, so only have this pic of the dogs from when i had got home !!! The Plummer bitch is 3 years old, but we've only had her since October/November !! She's a good little ratter/bushing dog but hasn't done any earth work !!! She was really within herself when i got her and is just coming out of her shell now !! She had a Fox on top with a mates lurchers and hopefully she may start working to ground !!! The fell has had 6 foxes now since the 1st of March (5 bolts and 1 dig) as you can see he's a big lump (15 inch, 18 pounds), but he seems to be able to get to charlie ok !!! All the best Tommy Quote Link to post
