  12. Re The Job

    in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management

    Posted

    was out lamping ,I was lamp and. bag man...I went out with two lads regularly ..they would rim fire the rabbits an I had the rucksack and lurcher..the dog either retrieved the shot rabbit or caught the runners.as the night wore on and the bag heavier we had a couple of rabbits squealing when the dog retrieved them..we started catching the yellow eye shine of something watching us..always keeping a field away..onward we marched and the eyes kept following us.further up there was a bend in the river and the animal following us was trapped in the bend field. it was in the next field we could see glimpses of the eyes.both gun men looked through the scope but never got a clear view of the dark shape.turned into the next field and shone the lamp down the hedge.there was a big black shape...I squeaked it and it turned and ran straight at us.my dog bolted backwards pulling me over and the other two just froze.....it was only 20 yrds off us and on us in seconds..as I had the lamp when I fell there was no light. it ran straight past the two gun men and stopped at me...........it happened that quick, I was rolling around in the mud with a lurcher trying to drag me off.....I thought it was a big cat just about to maul me ...but there was a black Labrador looking at me in the mud..never shit myself so much in my life..

    it had a collar on and when we rang the owner it had been lost earler that day
