foxes everywhere!

[blando 0]

Just went out for a lamp the conditions were good no moon and a bit of wind and rain, had some new Permission to try. Every field I went in had at least 3 foxes in the hedges I managed to call them in but my dog is only 19†and 13 mouths so a bit small/young to run on them . There were very few rabbits (due to the foxes im guessing). I think I mite have to borrow my mates lurcher :11: , I was told that if you put stinking meat out in the field they will go to it, giving you a easy slip is this true, and has it been tried much? In the end only had 2 rabbits but was a good night!

the farmer does not seem to botherd about having them gone, but i want them gone to give me some chance of getting more rabbits on the land lol my mate said hed bring his rimfire but whats the fun in that, so going to borrow my mates lurcher i think. will the best way be to hide in a oposite dark corner and call them in thats what seemed to work best when i was calling them in for the sake of it last nite?

 

(Andy Super Dogs- i know what you are saying the rain keped it quite cool tho but its the only time iv been out al summer i just had to have a little go again)

all the best

In my opinion, running a dog on this EXTREMELY HARD ground is asking for problems in the dogs feet and legs.

 

Blando, even though the rain made the atmosphere FEEL cooler, it most probably wasnt as cool as you thought.

 

Our bodies are getting used to this heat, so 15degrees feels cool when out walking in the rain, in comparison to the 30degrees during the day

Another little tip mate -Dont squeak foxes unless you intend to run /shoot them.Wise foxes are a pain for running dogs.
