tegater 789 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Getting some jobs done around the house this afternoon, and my young lad says can I take the catapults out with ****, one of his mates. I said "yes no problem but be careful and don't get in trouble" . Off the two of them went! About an hour later, I get a phone call from him, that went like this; "dad, quick.....we've sort of shot a d***" I said "what do you mean, you've sort of shot a d***?" He said "well, its still flapping around a bit, but its head is down" (lol, lol, lol) I grabbed the pup, and started walking down to the clough, when halfway back I meet my lad and his mate proudly swinging the said item from its neck, both with smiles like Cheshire cats. Anyway, after congratulating them and educating them a out close seasons I continued on my walk down the clough, only to find half a loaf of bread still floating on the swamp they shot it off! Perhaps not ethical and a little education required, but proud as anything to see the smiles on their faces!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tegater 789 Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Kids will be kids thats for sure have you got a pup for ferreting whats its breeding if you dont mind me asking ? Thanks everybody, the pup is more for digging of foxes, in the rock dens, within the law, but its the first Patterdale I have had so not sure yet if they will be any use for ferreting. Advice will be welcomed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
