First Of The Year


Recommended Posts

Had a walk out with the terriers after the bit of snow we have just had around one of my permissions ( a syndicate phesant shoot) . First sett we came to was a 3 holer and we entered one of the dogs in and she was soon baying away. Gave her 20 minuites or so to see if she could bolt it but it wouldnt shift so it was out with the finder and got a mark at 3 foot. Nice easy dig on flat ground and soon had a dog fox out and despatched.

 

Onto the next sett and it was a one holer which ran straight into a big enbankment which we have had foxes out of before, entered my other bitch, who was sounding instantly so set the net. 5 minuites or so passed without incident and then a flash of red as another young dog fox hit the net and was despatched. Bitch still baying so gave it another 10 then got the finder out and got a reading at 7ft. Good while later broke in and pulled out a vixen.

 

That was all unfortunately as we were loosing the light but 3 foxes accounted for so the shooting lads will be happy.

 

only managed to get one photo of the 2nd dog fox
