Ratting the other day


Recommended Posts

Doing some cover plots on an estate in Lincs the other day: they'd cut down the cover and just the feeding stations made of bales remained: pulled these apart and the rats came flooding out. Smoking the holes in the ground too.

Far too many terriers turned up: God knows how they all got to hear of the day: the keeper didn't even know one of them LOL!

Tally above ground was over 100 and we kept digging out ones that had died below ground from the smoke so who knows what the real count was. A few pics:

Some more: the smooth Russel with black on her head is nearly 11 years old and she never stopped all day: 5 hours non stop we were at it! She was cream crackered the next day but she had a whale of a time..

I like them jacks mate are they your own lines :thumbs:

 

I wqouldn't really call them a line as such: I generally just keep bitches and use a handy dog that I've seen working when I want a litter. The black headed bitch is dam to the smooth white one with a tan patch on her head, but the sire was a red Lakey.

They're what I call 'all rounders': wouldn't get half as much with the lurchers if I didn't have the terriers. Ratting's a real good fun day out and keeps them fit for other stuff LOL.
