One Mixy Bunny


Recommended Posts

Sunday morning,me the son,2 lurchers a Lakey and the young Beddy dog,first shout was a waste,to much cover and the main holding spot had been blocked and left by numpty,s.10 minute drive and next spot,keeper asked us to have a wander along the river,his main rearing field,the cover was again to much,a fresh scent was followed by the terriers,a couple of blank earths and sweating and struggling through 6 foot high Himalayan balsam and brambles time to move.Next spot had been flooded the week before,plenty of scent but nothing home,the cover again was far to heavy to make any sort of real progress,another blank.Next spot,river one side,railway line the next and a rspb reserve as a stopper,keeper and his mate stood shotgun whilst the two terriers pushed cover and ran through earths,a fox was moving in front of us,because of the dense cover we could,nt make the yards or come to terms with rusty,the lurchers had a runaround but could,nt make any progress,eventually the terriers located,big old spot,at one stage they went off radar on the 15 foot collars,because of the cover,we thought the 3 visible exits were covered,the Beddy emerged 30 foot down a well covered bank,another lost cause,the keepers called it a day and left us wandering a few acres of meadow and copse,the lurchers managed to stretch their legs,hunted about and even managed a long gallop on a bunny that eventually found sactuary in cover.Heading back to the motor the terriers scented again in a bramble patch,the lurchers took up their usual sentry duty,a bunny half bolted and was soon snaffled by the lurcher dog,with the terriers soon in attendance,a mixy bunny soon dispatched and the only thing to show for the day,6 hours,sweat,frustration,to much cover,little to see and a myxy bunny.Happy days,can,t make the numbers everytime.
