Brimmer 220 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Managed to avoid getting dragged out for a few days recently by not answering the phone and going fishing instead, but today 'The Old One' caught me off guard. He convinced me he would be able to drive to the top end of the land today (Due to the heavy frost over the last week) so I would not have to carry as much back, and he would not take half a day to get up there. Balls to that then! As you can see, a light coating of the fairy dust had once again fallen on the frozen rock hard ground. I'm not going up there again waiting for the old un, and then carrying the bag and him back! We stuck to ground lower down for the day! Basically same sort of day as normal. Running one young dog, he did great when he settled in, and his retrieve is getting a little better every time out. Took 3 of the older hobs today, 2 of them (brothers) have been caged together and are getting a little fat. (I've fed them too much.) You can soon notice the effect this has on a ferret you work regular, they will come away from rabbits with there arse up to easy. (They always go back to them though!) Had a few digs as usual, one in an old mineshaft hole, unfortunatley it dropped a little deeeper than we liked, hitting 5 ft on the finder, when I broke through, it was like a cavern underneath and dropping away. Gave up at 2pm with 20 rabbits. (we put a little extra in to get the last 1) Did ok really, nothing special, another cold day. PS. Watched the hawking lads on the way off our land, saw a great flight where the Harris? (Just a guess) Commited itself on a downhill rabbit, an even smacked into the wall to nail it going through a hole in the wall! Awesome flight guys, don't know if you are on here, but it was great to watch! Quote Link to post
