speedy87 42 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 best off teaming up with someone, and me being me il look in the most unlikely of places and find good earths hidden away. its all about using common sense, looking for tracks, well used runs, even using your snout! about 3 year ago i was out with two running dogs and about 5 bushing/terrier/pointers and a beagle and worked a huge wood block with loads of earths but never found one bit of scent. on the way back home through a well grazed green field all the bushing dogs took off and ended up marking in the middle of this field. when i got there it was a small drain no run to it nothing. that same drain ran about 7/800m to a well know hole. its supprising how these drains can go for such a long way. its amazing where ive found stuff packed away, under trees, waste pipes, under peoples garden sheds who own saluki x's haha . theres a wood block local to me that id have to say has over 50 holes and holds so many pigs its unbeleivable!!!! it absolutly stinks walking through the block.
