Last Lambing Call!!

delayed post as I have been in Ireland fr the week.......

 

but the Saturday before I went, I woke up to answer phone on my mobile of a farmer telling me they were loosing heavy of one field in particular. this is a late one for that area as the lambs are normally to big and strong to be on the menu for Charlie at this time of year.

 

after having a barny with my wife (as she was moithering me to pack) I shoved my limited wardrobe into a sports bag and flung it into the car!! viola one packed bag!! finally then I rushed off to box a few dogs for the hours drive. I chucked in three of the "white warriors" a couple of lurchers and the beagles for good measure and me and a mate headed off.

 

on arriving the damage was clear to see but in all honesty I wasn't convinced that it was all due to Charles......but something had to pay for the crimes!

 

we tried the first earth with my dog patch but although there was scent on the earth nothing proved to be at home, so we moved on to draw some cover with the beagles and a couple of the russels. after some great music from the little pack ,a fine fox was accounted for making a break for sanctuary. a lovely retrieve by the lurchers.

 

we then tried a big rangy earth and I let a mate try his little tiny bitch that I bred "xena" she hadn't done a lot but was a fine hunter of fox above ground, she dropped in and went through the earth at speed before settling at 1.2 on the old brick. after giving her time to settle I began down to th little bitch who was baying away like clockwork. I broke through and was amazed when I saw the little bitch was right up to her quarry not giving an inch. I drew the bitch and delt with the quarry, only to find another little head poke out! what a great feeling seeing a bitch I have bred come good and hold two fiery quarry where they needed to be.

 

just to top it off I got a nice dig to my big boy "ffloyd" who is continuing to impress me with his finding ability in big spots for a young dog, and he really makes no friends under the sod!

 

good day all round and made my day when my old man came out of "retirement" and did a shift on the banjo. even if he was wearing a hat like a tearaway teenager.

 

great day and some good memories made, and these are always better than dreams!

Good read that , nice to see that not everyone is just out to eradicate every Charlie they see either.
