Mornings Work


Recommended Posts

Hi chaps,

 

It was my turn to take out "HUNT 4 LIFE" for a days work out with my pup and his litter sister and mother.

I love the cold weather, colder the better!! :yes:

 

We set off and arrived at our destination for 0800hrs. A quick coffee with the guards and then to buisness.

I have used this 15acres for training of the pups for years now, good warrens to ferret without the nets. Grass fed rabbbits, so nice and big they are too....... :thumbs:

 

The rabbits didnt hang around and were bolting left right and centre!

 

I will need to upgrade in my camera for action shots!

 

Here is the first caught by HUNT4LIFE's pup:

Whin, the warrens are there my friend, some in the middle 1 holer's, many were in the ditch and hedge rows which are situated in open spaces. Its an Airfield Whin. They were ferreted.

 

Yes 17, and the dogs did well. At least another 10 or so made it to safety.
