Give the pup a slip on a rabbit on the fringe of a forest plantation tonight after a few turns the rabbit ran out onto a gravel road as the dog was about to pick it up it shot straight up vertical it must of gone 4ft

I've never seen a rabbit jump so high.have you seen rabbits jump 4ft plus.

It is their job to survive, and our task as hunters,...to capture them.. :yes:

 

This image is just one picture, from a series of action shots, taken by my late friend Adrian Sole...

I well remember the day...

It was freezing,..a biting cold North wind cutting across the large open warren...

Wiltshire's Salisbury Plain,. can be a realy harsh place and the rabbits that live, deep in the ancient chalk warrens, rarely give up their furry jackets without providing a tough test, for even the quickest of jukels... :icon_eek:

That ferreting trip was destined to be Adrian's last day out with me..

He was suffering with Lung Cancer,... and died a few weeks later.

 

He left me a batch of excellant and quite exceptional snaps,..and said,.."Phil,..I would be so proud if you could ever use them in a book or a magazine article,...I know that I'll not be here to see them,..but, I enjoyed having the chance to take them"....

 

So, as requested, I have kept the little man's legacy safe,..and I will honour it....

 

In saying this,..I really do miss that brave wee guy.... :cray:
