scent 509 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 we set off today around 7.30 in the hope of hunting a few covers for foxes .Sionnach off the site had his pack of terriers and beaglexspringers which are already in top form so i knew we were in for a good day .We had 6 lurchers aswell for staking out the cover abd 4 beagles to work alongside the terriers.First cover the dogs enteres they were all singing together within minutes ,one fox broke at the bottom of the cover but the lurcher was unlucky and missed.The fox doubled back to me and i got a short run on him and drove him back into the cover.We then hunted another two covers but charlie never showed.The last cover was a lovely long wood in a glen .We were without the beagles for this one but never the less sionnachs pack steped up and by god did they rise to the occassion .They flew into the wood SCREAMING and foxes were showing everywhere .I was in a bog with my lurcher and got two short runs but saw 3 if not 4 foxes.The chap in the field beside me killed one fox with his yound bullx his first fox ever.Sionnachs digging bitch followed one to ground and bolted that for me to get a slip on.Great days hunting with great company and dogs.A big thank you to sionnach for inviting me and my young lad Quote Link to post
