Meeks 153 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Headed out for a wee while last night.sky was clear but wind was up so thought bugger it.went to a local golf course,there was'nt much about,with the exception of a fair few hares.most rabbits I saw were too close to home.only managed one slip here,dog struck but missed and the rabbit was away.since the dog only had one run when I got back to the car I decided to give some playing fields near by a shot.really glad I had a look,plenty here to be had over the winter. First slip here the dog had his first rabbit!well chuffed.walked on a little bit and slipped him again,had a good run with this one but it just slipped under a fence into thick cover.it was at this point the dog decided to jump the fence and hunt up a bit.never seen or heard from him for a good 10mins,but then he appeared back at my side(bit of a pain in the arse but its the fist time he's done this since we started lamping).put him back on the lead and headed back towards the car calling it a night but there was one right away in the middle of the football field so I let him have a go.was after it like a rocket but just as he grabbed it he picked it up and hit a bush,he went through it but the rabbit back flipped back out and made good its escape.calles it a night with only 4 slips and one rabbit.he's still to master this striking on the lamp business but am sure it'll come with more practice.also had a fair few cuts to clean up when we got home.good old whippets eh lol.here's to the next time 1 Quote Link to post
nottzhunter08 898 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Sounds like you had some good sport pal. Keep at em and the dog can only improve. The football field rabbits dont half fly do they pal. Well done and good luck next time... Quote Link to post
