Checking a few earths this morning

COLD SNAP MY ARSE

 

what a waste of time!

 

My permission is on the same farm, but spread over 3 different areas local to me. Got up at 630, got the motor loaded, my bag of gear ready and a good strong coffee. Left the house at 7 for the first spot which i was quite excited about. Is a new hole, literally opened in the last fortnight....nothing home. My bitch didnt even fancy going down it for a look. Back in the motor for the second venue.

 

This part of the farm is where i first found my very first fox hole but hasnt held since the first time i tried it although the fox has been back there since. Let the bitch sniff the hole, not intrested. Tried another sinlge hole that hasnt been ran this year so i wasnt hopeful but still worth a look....nothing. Agian my bitch werent even intrested in going down.

 

Finally off to the last place. Have had rabbit holes dug out by a 'visitor' here just lately but saw 2 foxes around here in the lamp about a month ago whislt having a wonder about. First place ( 2 hole rabbot place), nothing. Second place, a new rabbit excavtion and the bitch was lunging at the hole trying to get at it! Looked at the kick out and was covered in 'visitor' boot marks so i walked away completly not bothered and definatly not tempted

 

So, no dig, soggy dog and soggy owner. Took a few photos of her though

 

cheers (sorry for waffling!)

Once the cover dies back and the first frost hits, there will be plenty to ground then.

Keep at it Oldnog, patience is key and when it finally comes your be over the moon,,

 

Just try some new places and enjoy your walks and it will come when you least expect it... are you out tomorrow ??

went last sunday for 3 hrs and not a thing, came home and took the whippets out and saw a fox heading out to a caged up place, just my luck

Its nice in a way to hear someone else in the same boat as myself. It makes a change to hear about the bad days instead of the braggers.

it will happen for you soon enough oldnog,but leave the earths alone for a few weeks,dont try them too often!

i spoke to a guy tonight in the pub and he hasnt had a dig and he is out saturday and sundays on a lot of spots, this cold spell could get them to ground.

good luck with it
