Morning Out On The Welsh Hills.

[B&W 29]

Had a steady morning out up in the hills with a mate of mine. All hedgerow warrens, full of the usual suspects..blackthorn, Hawthorne and holly!

 

Long nets and stop nets where the order of the day, with the odd purse net dotted about. One of us each side of the hedge and both whippets working the hedge as they pleased.

My young whippets still learning the ways of the long net and followed a few coneys into it like a steam train..but it's all good experience!

Finished the day on 12 one of which was a mixy. Not bad numbers for that neck of the woods. Couple of shallow digs and full of thorns!

 

All the best.

Looks like you had a good day mate, been doing a lot of hedges farmers have cut recently proper double edged sword helps you get in the hedges but holes full of hedge cuttings! Hope your whippet didn't get to tangled! Atb
