woodga 170 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 well towzer had arranged to have a nights lamping up this end and as he was travelling on his own decided to stop over at my house and have a few hours kip before travelling back ,i had phoned the relevant farmers so all was set. foxhunter came along as well to run my bitch i was running tyyp, towzer was running his dog storm and we met up with nightimenellie up at one of the farms when we arrived a good wind was blowing all though it was cold early on it soon warmed up . nighttimenellie was on one farm ,we dropped towzer off at another and we went out onto the fells we were hitting rabbits from the start with good catches from both dogs sometimes they had doubles it was fast and furious fun we walked near the road and dropped off several piles of rabbits and when we met up with towzer nightimenellie was all ready there he had caught 23 rabbits in a short space of time and said he had had enough runs for his big minshaw dog towzer had taken 13 the saluki cross is extremely fast but strugles when a rabbits finds rushes or long grass if it cant see them he stops running a rabbit out on open grass and its game over we had managed to catch 44 rabbits with flyte and tyyp here,s the finall tally picture taken this morning at my house 81 rabbits between us and some excellent sport and here,s one for towzer to remember him and mr teapot are now members lol sleeping soundly the song goes like this ..>> if you like a pair of handcuffs and some baby oil join our club :11: :11: Quote Link to post

FOXHUNTER 5,021 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) It was a top class night with the dogs running on top form.The weather conditions were perfect from the start and I knew we would get a good haul.The 1st bit of ground we tried was lifting with rabbits sat together in parties of 3 and 4s . The running was fast and furious with rabbits streaming past us to get into the wood behind. Typp and Flyte excelled themselves tonight making catching rabbits look very easy , especially Typp running rabbits unsighted through rushes and still catching them , it was a sight to behold. Glad to see Towzer joined the club Its a pity the heats we ran a few weeks ago werent ran last night , the difference in numbers of rabbits was unbelievable.
