BEARINATOR 2,824 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Got a call at 7am saying my mate would meet us at the farm house but he was bringing his border/lakie Gyp instead of his bedlington. So me and my lass loaded my dog Brock and the 2 greys in the jeep and set off to her dads. When we got there after the short drive my mate still hadn't turned up so I got my lass to make some coffee and bacon buttys whilst waiting . My pal turned up with his little red bitch, so we had another coffee and butty then headed for the valley. I had the greys running loose with Brock doing the cover and spotted 3 nice roe at the bottom, so grabbed the dogs back up as I didn't want any accidents of course . We came to a good 6 hole den so decided with Brock being the most experienced of the 2 terriers I would put him in. The fox was running him ragged for about 10 minutes then settled at 1.4, so game on and I set about with the spade. About half way down I hit rock and put my shoulder out again (fired a 12 gauge years ago and held it wrong ) but carried on anyway. Eventually broke through to a big dog fox and my mate give it the last rites with the .410. Extracted it to see it was a old mangy bugger so better off dead. We headed further in to the plantation with the 2 greys air scenting about and young Tina marked a pipe, useless rabbiting cur I thought to myself but shone the torch in anyway and old charlie was staring back at me. So I said to my mate get your young bitch in whilst my lass was positioned at the other end of the pipe with the 12g. Let Gyp in and about a minute later the fox bolted and my lass gave it both barrels , a nice little dog fox in good condition. Then we headed back to the farmhouse for another coffee as my mate is on night shift again tonight, but it was a good day at work for me and I enjoyed my mates company as well as seeing his young bitch bolting her 3rd fox and before the mickey taking starts YES my shoulder is still killing me 5 Quote Link to post
