Northsider 9 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 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 ladgood going scent sounds like a good exciting day doing cover yesterday ourselves got 3 you can t beat it thats a fair day gettin 3 was it with lurchers pal yet we using lurchers got two with lurchers missed two and dug one with my bitch thats a good day yee had then plenty around this season i hope since we got the hounds having plenty of crack . We used to be checking holes and getting ok hunting but now were flying Quote Link to post
Dave C 63 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Are the beagles you use pure or a cross ?, we have a terrier pack and a hound x cocker for bushing cover and am thinking of adding some hound or hound crosses, how do you find yours working with the terriers.
