  8. nice fox today

    in Earthdogs & Working Terriers

    Posted

    well out this morning at 7am hoping to get a fox or two,we had a stead drive 15mins away from my digging partners house. the 1st two earths we checked had nothing at home so back into the motor we went, had another drive this time around 30mins due to traffic checked 3 earths that were kicked out but the dogs said nothing was at home so we decided to go onto the old railway and check the banking, the 1st earth we got to my dogs were going mad on the couples so turned the b&f on and let my big dog off. it was a tight spot he had to push in and for a big dog he can get into some tight spots, after around 10mins could here the dog mixing it well and got a reading of 1.5 on the b&f so i went for the shovels and when i was back the dog was still in the same place and not moving an inch so down i went. broke through straight on top of both the dog and foxes heads, put the shovel between them both and freed my dog from this tight spot and coupled him up while the keeper dispatched the fox. the dog didnt take that much fist which im glad... all in all a good day with a good laugh in good company

    Was out yesterday with my digging partner at a spot that always holds a fox or two throughout the season, iv dug this earth a fair few times and it's never failed me, its located on the edge of a small wood, it's a sandy spot so it's easy to dig . soon as we got to the earth my dog started scenting, whining pulling like mad, with the look of the earth it looked as if foxy was at home so i dropped my dog in, with no time at all he had found his quarry and was working it hard, there was only a few seconds of baying then silence, turned on the bellman and flint and it was reading 1.6, gave the dog another 10mins to make sure he had it in the stop end. dog didn't move so got the shovels and down we went, within 30mins we were through and there he was, griped tight onto his quarry, took a fair few attempts to get the dog to let go, then the fox was humanly dispatched , pulled it out and it was a big old vixen , very happy with the result and a very happy farmer.

     

    had another dig to my dog on friday aswell it was another big fox in a big old rocky earth it was on a ledge and terrier couldnt get to it but when we broke through at 3 foot foxy tried making a run for it but the farmer was waiting with the gun so he was dealt with,
