we were back out again today, a lovely cold frosty morning. Not so many rats around as previously, in the same spots, but the floods last year may have had an effect if what the keeper and the farmer said is true, either that or we were just too efficient :victory::laugh: The keeper turned up today to see what was going on and left his son, a friend of young Floyds to join in. We were also accompanied today by deepdig and some of his dogs, Midge, Nellie and the young lurcher, Flint. He brought along his new rat attack smoker to try out. All dogs worked well and soon got stuck in marking. Not much bolted and most of the catches were through digging the frozen ground (it was -7 last night!); a lot of hard work but worthwhile.

Once again thoroughly enjoyed it, around the same amount of rats as Friday, but each and every one was hard won. Thanks for a brilliant 3 days, look forward to the next round.... :D
