terryd 8,872 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Out this morning at first light in fact a bit before with the heavy fog it was still dark at 6.30. In my wisdom I picked a nice dark pine wood to work. Could make out some shadows of rabbits and my black dog streaking about all good fun but he couldn't get them to ground and headed for the thick cover. Ran these holes through just in case but no luck into a big old valley then waste deep brambles. The dog got a scent and started casting across the bank working the cover. He was just a spec in the distance struggling through. When along came mr rabbit you can just make him out sitting tight. Spot the rabbit lol the dog follwed him back then they both took off all the way down to the bottom of the valley where it got really thick. I caught up with him and thought enough was enough and popped his lead on to take him backup. But I could tell he new the rabbit was just in front of us so I didnt have the heart to drag him away so let him off. he took a big leap in the cover and the rabbit set off again this time taking us all the way back to the top where he eventually lost it. We must been after that rabbit for a good half an hour or more and we were both knackered Came across a couple more but just too much cover for the dog to push them to ground Some more of the same this afternoon but similar run around loads of cover and he couldn't get them to ground. Marking a bush here I kept kicking it and nothing in the end we both ploughed in and out popped a rabbit them promptly shot into another patch again some good work finding and tracking but only so much he could do and now he seems to have died 8 Quote Link to post
