"how Is Your Season Going"

[foxdropper 17,092]

Had our first opener in a hedge today . Very easy affair, .5 after a run around ,dug in the maize other side the hedge a bit .Bitch was tight to be honest and quite warm so a dip in a trough was in order .Bit of rub but otherwise good .Loads to go at now so roll on a bit of cold weather.

We started three weeks ago now ( wales area)

We've dug 4 bolted 5 1 on top

Scent not been greatest but hounds going well

Been on couple of other meets ( night meets) different packs that are hunting well but similar pattern obviously due to warm weather

How's it going for rest of you lads!

bit slow really this yr only had 18 so far let's hope things get better

Nothing at home yesterday, hounds going strong but cover is still thick struggling to get a line. Cubs going round and round. Weather still warm!

Get the maize off be different story mind .

Weather needs to be colder for them to drop around my way, a Brucey bonus to come across one before November .

A new farmer growing big blocks of maize bio fuel everywhere has f.....d up the early partridge shooting

but has kept the thermal heroes at bay, so hopefully!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

decent enough start here in wales......seemed to have a "lucky" spell. first hard frost here this morning so hope fully its on ward and up ward and can start some more testing places.

 

scent has been shocking whilst out with the hounds but thats to be expected with this weather!

That banjo will be on fire no doubt of that and as for the dogs all will be fine! Hope your season goes well too but more important stay safe mate! ATB

Fingers crossed my young rough bitch gets a dig as the couple of times I tried her end of last season everything bolted,she's keen to get in and search.also see if the young Russell bitch has what it takes.plenty of ground to try them hopefully they been worth the feeding.atb dc

I have had a decent start to my season this year with more fox in a month than I had in most of the last, I bushed a large dog fox into a 40ft drain yesterday,used my dog Wilf to force a bolt and finish,he looked tiny by comparison to the fox, that's 3 over 20lb in a few days,that makes 7 this month,Wilf is only 2yrs old and I have really ramped up his work to ground but the weather is still so mild and most are being forced from cover into earths or drains,let's hope for some bad weather to get them down, WM

[Haiddheliwr 1,911]

Sounds like Wilf is doing well Plucky! Having same problems with the weather and also seeing some big lumps of foxes! Must be a lot of grub about. Out tomorrow but weather is still not right!!
