Tyla 3,179 Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Had a few crap sessions over the past week, crap weather, driving miles to permission and a general lack of rabbits being to blame so was a bit fed up. I've been ferreting and ratting some ground that i asked for the lamping for and was knocked back a few years ago but its on the doorstep and i know from ferreting that it holds a few so i thought i'd try asking the farmer again and ...... BINGO! New lamping permission 5 minutes from home with rabbits!!! I had a busy evening last night and im off to work in a minute so only got out for an hour late last night. The weather was spot on, although the light pollution round here means its pretty much always a bit to light, and most of it was rape and wheat drillings. I got about ten runs and Willow picked up four. These rabbits have definately seen a dog and a lamp before and were flying over the drilled wheat. The first two got to cover without her putting a turn in but once she realised she needed to put them under pressure from the start she started catching well. I could have stayed out all night, theres miles more ground to cover, but good sense prevailed and I stopped just gone midnight. I will be back though! No picture as it was late and everyone knows what dead bunnies look like! Quote Link to post
NEWKID 26,376 Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Well done mate, It's nice to have a bit on the doorstep... even better that it's holding a few.... they don't hang about on the driled fields though, we've got the same here, the dogs got to be on their ass from the word go...
