NOOK/ANNA 96 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 My build up has been Good and Bad. My wee bullx bitch knocked a toe up just under four weeks back so not much has been done with her except odd walk. But on good note my Wheaten x pup has just started his 1st few outings on lamp to just see what its all about. And has took to it like a duck to water. Even bagged a nice vixen with him 3rd time out. So bike miles wil be put in next week or two while moon is bright then start serious lamping. Quote Link to post
