Darylbob 10 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 went out tonight with our merlin on the lamp an had his first adult rabbit , ahhhh what a proud moment ! , he's just gone 2 now (i know what your all thinkin ) .... havent been able to get him out as much as id of liked too so he hasnt been able to hes been close a few times thats about it , but just lately ive been out a few nights a week so hes had a few more courses an seems to be getting the hang of things evidently, anyhow tonight i was (somewhere i shouldnt have been ) and there were a few sat out in this field but very skitish an with the field bein boggy hard to be quiet unfortunately , and having 27kg of writhing demon on the end of the lead doesnt help haha but anyway couldnt get near enough , so had a shine in the next field an slap bang in the middle there was one , so i thought right good oppurtunity here so got in there probly got about 25 30 yards away an slipped him an after a good course an dealin with a few sharp turns merlin came out on top , was a bit reluctant to retrieve had to call him back a few times , but to be expected i spose?.. i was in bad books for a while very quiet on the journey home think he was sulkin because of me takin his catch understandable really.. sleepin it off now with a belly full of chicken breast an liver 1 Quote Link to post

robwelsh 354 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Well season came and she was fit , then came in heat for her first time lol so that took the wind out of me, got her fit again then didn have a car for a month or two, bought a cheap focus started getting out an power steering went etc and the car just got worse so didn want to risk travelling far lol sold that, I had to and didn have a car then..few other bits in the season went upside down for me lol so basically a whole season went by and I hardly got out. Ohh to top it off my lamp batt packed in etc lol just wasn't a good time, got fed up big time mate. But this year she came in heat about 3months ago, given me plenty of time, got a new reliable vw caddy lol an bagged 6perms mainly for shooting and a mate of mines dad has offered me to go lamping on his permission too which is full of game, so soon as my daughter's born I shall be getting out A LOT lol Quote Link to post
