trigger2 3,352 Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago After carefully keeping a eye on the weather forcast I decided tonight was the night to get my young greenhorn dog out for a decent run. Up until this afternoon the forcast was giving out a better night than what we got. These last couple of weeks of heavy showers and spells of rain had more than made up for the dry spell this summer with the grass much greener and longer than I thought in a good many fields. With that against me and the moon casting my shadow on the ground as I walked my only saving grace was a nice strong wind. So off I set with the young dog (who up until now had only caught 3 rabbits) as expected the young dog showed how green he was in true form but somehow managed to catch a rabbit or 2 early on. As the night went on and the tiredness set in so did the gift of using his brain and starting to catch. A couple of pro's and plenty of cons we persisted and ended up with 11 in the bag out of a total of 13 caught. The inexperience showing but great improvement being made through the night. 14 Quote Link to post

Nothing better than fetching a young dog on and watching them improve, good luck for the rest of the season. Happy hunting 1 Quote Link to post

Good read where's the dogs spoils ie trophy photo. Young dog 13 rabbits , only had 3 before that. Surely we've got an image ? First night out 13 knocked over. A like a read. But more so like to see the bunnies , day time , night time , ferreting. Trev70 was good for bunnies. That fella could get numbers. Quote Link to post
