Day out

[william slater mcgregor 1]

valley,a lot of the time odd guns of mine dont turn up and its most when u need them a sometimes think theyd rather be shooting logs into the fire lol ,dab a hope you have a good day atb ,wullie

 

problem i had was the boys were shooting at anything that came out and the foxes kept turning.They were shooting at ducks ,woodcock e.t.c never the less nice to leave some behind for next time

 

 

if they shoot at anything but foxes they never get back ,it causes hounds to follow the wrong scent and there will be a time when people want a good job done and you wont get that done if your guns are shooting at anything,when i first got involved with hounds they were hunting through heather one day and there was hundreds of white hares just a few yards from the hounds and they didnt bother about even one of the hares and that day we didnt find a fox to hunt,thats what some people want if even one hound gave tongue on anything other than a fox there would be someone there who would be on the phone to tell another estate thats when they dont want you back in ,you can do a hundred good hunts and one bad hunt and youll be remembered for the one bad day atb

you wont start a pack steady on fox by getting hounds that havent seen anything,the best way is to get old experienced hounds what wont hunt anything else but fox,while theyre hunting keep your young hounds coupled and on leads then when your older hounds start to give toungue on a fox let the younger hounds join in that way theyll be hunting the correct scent,remember hounds will hunt any scent if you let them atb
