Popular Post FUJI 16,553 Posted February 8, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 During the snow and blizzard like conditions we experienced last week I still tried to be a smart arse and head off with the mutt only to find ourselves stuck in traffic for four hours lol as Lorries etc jack knifed on several roads leading to absolute chaos..so initial plans scuppered we then had to go on a 60 mile detour lol..eventually I got that sick of driving I just stopped the motor & got out and walked..the day was passing us by..a few pics of our wander,still loads of snow on the Fells both sides of the Border and freezing fog here this morning yet the season is all but done for me,my lad took Boots ferreting the other day only for two young uns to bolt together and through the net with one succumbing to the dogs jaws and I seen two small leverets the back end of January..that tells me it's time to ease off the pedal just now,dogs have had a real purple patch this past fortnight so alls well that ends well I guess,no doubt odds and sods will fall to the dogs as its inevitable the amount of time we are out and where I walk but I won't intentionally be heading out with intent lol although some of the dogs have to continue working just yet..owld Don is enroute as I'm typing this up into Scotland flushing foxes out of thousands of acres of forestry blocks for a gamekeeper and others to shoot and this will continue for a while on a weekly basis now the Pheasants are finished..anyhow back to the pics lol.. Big b*****d eat that young rabbit ferreting tother day ??? 20 Quote Link to post

FUJI 16,553 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Aye it will be just trekking the fells for the spring/summer months Max and I'm gonna do a few Munro's up over the border too..dogs have done pretty well Max,over the moon with the big young dog,no world beater but he's handy and that does for me these days,Swift lives with my eldest lad now in the house so although she still gets to see a bit not like she has done in past years but still she's well looked after & that's the main thing..Don ain't the dog he was but still a great workhorse of a dog and enjoys life every bit as much as he has ever done so he will just keep doing what he does..they've all managed to achieve certain things this past season that has certainly opened my eyes whilst hunting in their company so although I may not be as much of an active hunter as I once was I'm still chipping away and doing my thing and enjoy every trip out hail,rain or shine and whether we score or blank.. 6 Quote Link to post

Phil Lloyd 10,736 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) I'll never give up mouching,...none of us can, eh... No,..its a bit of physical,..and mental with me (mind you, I've always been a touch mental) Me and Rosy celebrated 40 years of marriage t'other day,.. and I just thought back, at all the days and nights she has had to put up with dawgs,dawgs,... fecking dawgs... Poor lass,....I think the day has come, to devote a wee bit more time to her.... Yeah, the young cur bitch took a right hard tumble on her first run the other morning... We were far from home,.on an invite,.so there was no going back,.plus our hosts had already twigged on, that they were in the company of a brace of soft southern pooftas,...so I let my wee bitch do the bleeding for me...! She was no great shakes,..we had a few bolts ,..the ground was pretty awkward for a tiny hedgerow cur,.but we did what we could... I've had far better lurchers,.but also had a lot worse... Anyway,..its back to the woods for us,...back to what we know... Thanks for those kind words,...all the best, Phil. Edited February 8, 2015 by Phil Lloyd 8 Quote Link to post
