Lost a good dog about 20 odd years ago , a hare took it across a road and it was killed instantly , the driver of the car kept sending me solicitors letters trying to get 900 quid for the damage to his car which I kept ignoring , one morning the solicitors clerk knocked on my door asking if I was mr s , he looked like he was hiding a summons or something behind his back so the conversation went like this....

me....WHAT HAVE YOU GOT BEHIND YOUR BACK ?

him.....nothing

me ....DONT TELL LIES YOU TWAT , WHAT HAVE YOU GOT ?

him ....really , nothing sir

me...DO YOU THINK I,M STUPID ? YOUR HIDING A SUMMONS YOU SNEAKY LITTLE BESTARD

and with that he lifted up his stumpy little arm that stopped at the elbow

same when you go out first slip first catch high hopes for the the rest of the night and then it fades into the distance as the rest of the night was shite ,happened 2 me a few times ,also the other way round aswell

[leegreen 2,247]

I'm still doing it now.

 

 

Feckin right, don't tell me others don't do it.

[bryson 562]

remember going out with your first ever lurcher on that first night to get it going on the lamp and hoping beyond all hope it catches and retrieves its first bunny right into the palm of your hand so you can do that crazy thing where you look at your dog like its the best thing that ever took a breathe

.

winds blowing like a good un rabbits on the stubble long way out,you pick your target walk it up hissing at the dog to let it know something is about to happen,dog keen ears pricked scanning the beam looking for the intended target,the particular bunny sits tight as you approach it may lift its ears before sitting even tighter,that was the only slight bit of movement you needed to convince you the dog has seen it so you slip.

 

what happens the dog runs straight past it,as the dogs running the rabbit lifts and starts heading for home,so what do you do,you lamp it up while trying to get your now running around like a lunatic dog onto the target,and at the same time"yes you start running the rabbit yourself hoping and preying that from beyond the darkness your pride and joy will emerge into the beam and lift it"of course this doesnt happen,you stand there wobbling and panting like a demented giraffe and wonder where it all went wrong i think in the early days i ran more rabbits than the bloody dogs did

 

what crazy things did you as a newbie do and laugh about now

And i thought it was only me that this had happend to my first dog pulled hard on the slip when we was 15 feet from the rabbit i was sure he seen it so sliped him the little c**t ran straight past then the rabbit ran towards me i tryed to kick the c**t and ended up on my arse

[watchman 256]

Can't wait to start her and sure there'll be plenty of mistakes on my part.

She'll be 9 months old next week, roll on next season

[Bosun11 537]

We've all done it at sometime, in one form or another.

This isnt so much about pups getting it wrong as us;

 

Only thing that comes to mind is when I was out lamping last year with a couple of my friends, we had 4 dogs out that night in total, 2 of which were first season pups. The land held good numbers of rabbits and all the dogs were getting a few runs.....

 

Anybody ever been out with a few too many dogs and had one of the rabbits decide to run straight towards you all with lurcher right up its scut?.....

 

All dogs lunged together pulling us with them and the rabbit used one of the dogs heads as a spring board jumping straight at the youngest lads face! We all fell over with either laughter or a dog pulling us down.

 

Feck knows whether we got that rabbit or not.
