Wasn’t so good yesterday when she came back full of those sticky burs. Took ages to get them off her. Wish I’d took a picture, never seen anything like it.
Been getting out early mornings. Still dark to start with so just mooching about with Head torch on. Had a bit of success few weeks ago until temperature dropped and mornings are still and bright. However good to get out and about even if it was a blank.
I don’t use a slip and prefer the dogs to hunt.
The older one will stand and stare into the bush if there’s something in there whilst the younger one seems to think it’s a good idea to run round the bush until the quarry panics or I wade through the bush and flush it. ( I don’t have a bushing type dog )
I have no idea why she has started doing it and it’s frankly annoying. However she has had some success so I guess she will keep it up.
Maybe I should resort to a slip or just get over it and let her do her thing.
So true that, problem I have now is the old dog has started to mug the younger dog of her catch. He still has a great nose but I’m going to have to leave him at home now.
I tried the filters and quite liked the red one at times. I used it sort of half on half off just for spotting, then it fell off and I lost it. They also have that half light switch or whatever they call it which is handy for opening gates etc.
