NEW GROUND

[torchey 1,328]

Had a walk out yesterday on some ground i got a couple of weeks back,wanting to check the boundarys and the running terain for the dog.I spoke to the farmer and he told me they were shooting it ,rodenating it, and have been using night vision so it gets me thinking theres f**k all left anyway had a walk round and it was evident there were still a few about so decided to have to have a look later on with the lamp...The ground was abit more stony than the dog is used to and some dodgy hedge rows[or lack of]that dropped 6to8ft into the road, so i new to give that side a wide berth..At 7 o,clock i was on the way back over their not really expecting much but out all the same[twice in a day,she had the right f*****g hump] the weather wasn,t the best as there was no wind,the only comfort was a bit of cloud cover..Pulled into the first field 2 runs 1 rabbit,they were already on the run when i switched on the lamp,the next few fields were roughly the same they were quite shy, but picked up another three rabbits ,the ground seemed to be clinging to the dogs feet and i new it was going to be a bit of a struggle for him.I see a real nice fallow buck and 9 does over the next couple of fields,which is always good to see ..The out come of the night was 9 rabbits and a partridge that flew up at the wrong time the dog did struggle on this ground he was totally f****d at the end of the night mainly due to soil i think,it really just seemed to stick to you,but at the end of the day a piece of ground thats had everything thrown at it to reduce rabbit numbers........Theres always room for a lurcher....
