Dam,, you nearly had him,, lost a good lurcher that way,, came back onto road and car tossed him 10 feet into the air,, wasnt a happy ending. No chase is worth that.
Havent read the book trinder , whats the saying sly as an old fox, very true, and when they bite into the back of your hand , it feckin hurts. A quarry well worthy of the respect.
That bitch has proved everything to you digger mate,, and by drawing the charlie out she has proved that she is smart too. The bitch had the right hold on that fox and wouldnt let go, job done mate.
He will if you chastise him pigboy, pull him off with a stern no,, only young yet as bbb said get him jabbed first now then at 12 weeks. great to hear your joy at getting your first terrier, good luck mate.
Ross have you been hunting the bitch recently, were you near cover,, bitch could of had a branch poked into her eye,, other eye could be strained with doing all her sight . did you try cleaning her eyes with teabags. Is her appetite ok? If youre instinct is telling you that there is something wrong then vets asap.
Congrats johnny, dont worry there will be many more windy nights to come. You will be to busy with dirty nappies and exhaustion to be bothered about lamping lol.
