Squirrel_Basher 17,102 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 The keeper had asked us to have a last look out to see if what he was seeing on the lamp was resident or not .It was a cold day Saturday so what better time to catch charlie in .We were to try an earth on the boundary that runs alongside an old railway that is a regular walk for dog owners so an early start was in order .The earth runs for 60 yards and has 14 holes ,is deep about 4.5 metres,so a bolt was really wished for!No sign for 15 minutes so a look with the bellman which revealed the dog was still moving fast .A fox bolted and pulled the net peg from the sandy ground and ran along the bank,, trailing the net, with me in hot pursuit .Luckily the net caught in some brambles and i tailed it to be dispatched . Phoned the keeper who said hed just seen a fox go in a hole !.Drove there quickly as it wasnt stopped in .The place was one we'd dug before a fortnight ago and we knew what to expect .My bitch was clollared up and flew in .Found her in the same dig and got down quickly to reveal a vixen ,heavy in cub and dispathed her .Keeper well pleased .
