2 foxes today with my lakeland dog (In Ireland)

[lurcher330 2,297]

Myself ,Dubin dezzy and Bulljack went out yesterday to do some pest control for a farmer that had been losing a few lambs due to foxes ,but after walking for hours we drew a blank ,

 

But i was up early this morning and after getting the dogs out for a run around i was at a lose end so i gave the lads a bell to see where they up to going up and having another look about,but both where busy ,so i decided to go up and have a look about myself.

 

i checked a few holes we didn't check yesterday and then walked up to a spot that i walked around bye yesterday to have a look ,i came across a nice 2 holer out in the open and the terriers and lurcher showed plenty of interest so i collared up my lakeland dog and let him in and with in seconds he was on.

I checked the box and he was at 1.4, so i sat down had a cuppa and and a smoke and checked the box again ,he was in near enough the same spot but i had him at .9 .so i cut out the sod and start digging and being on my own i only had my lite spade with me but the ground is handy enough and i was down to him in about 20 mins and he was sitting nice and tight with his fox,so it was lifted, but when i lifted it the dog went straight past and carried on up the tube, so i dispatched that fox and went to see where the dog was and got him at . 5 near 1 of the entrances holes which the lurcher was standing over waiting on a bolt,the lurcher made a few lunches forward into the hole so i knew he was there between the terrier and lurcher,so again i started to dig and was down in minutes and fox number 2 was lifted and dispatched.

 

I was delighted with my dogs performance for his last dig of the season and end up with a delighted farmer aswell .
