perthshire keeper 1,239 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 If they did what he says they did then fair play,but to hit on 7 earths in a row holding fox hard to believe,a pack of hounds would not run that many in to ground in a days hunting.I am diging a long time and it has definatly never happened with us so far,there has been days where we have had as many but that would be maybe 3-4 in the 1 earth and at most 3-4 digs.When you really think about it between walking from earth to earth and droping dogs in,giving them at least 10-15 min to settle into the game then diging and then backfilling,well i dont care how easy the diging was this would take a hell of a lot of time,like a 4mtr dig is not a shallow dig so to start with it would be at least 6ft by 4ft in lenght-width and 13ft down f**k me that would be enough for me let alone 6 more digs. 4 mtr is a long way all right! ...this dig was 5.5m on the bellman...but this picture was taken at about the 10-11ft mark. so for you boys to dig 14m in a day?! 5 Quote Link to post
UcanRUNbutUcantHIDE 190 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'v dug a good few in 1 day but only when 3s and 4s bottled up together. Ino there's a lot of lads on here that dig week in week out with 1 or 2 other handy lads that can shift a lot of soil, I am 1 of these people and ino most people who do this our doubting there own abilities let alone these guys. Sounds really hard to believe but it's not impossible it if it is true well done lads send me an invite next year and then maybe I'll believe u and vouch for you but as the saying goes seeing is believing It is hard to believe, I put a post up couple of years back had 12 foxes in space of 4 hours with 2 dogs and all walking distance from my front door me and my mate, needless to say not many people belived it lol but I know and there is people on here who know i wouldn't lie. fair play to you mate well done. But obvs going to be a lot of doubts on a forum like this. But I'm not calling him a liar just saying hard to believe Quote Link to post
