old dog 210 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Whats this weather we having i can't beleive it,out on a lambing call again with snow to a depth of 10 inches,when i got to the farm a farmer asked if the hounds could hunt in the snow,i could'nt really answer him as my hounds had'nt seen this amount of snow until today,but we'll give it a go,it started of slow hunting some gorse patches with no luck,i then moved over to some marshland and woods which proved to be better,hounds finding and going away at a good pace,our furry friend was leading them a right merry dance,going up the cover crossing out over the fields coming around the top and going back in again,going back over to the gorse where we started in the morning doing a circle, and going back down into some cover that we had'nt hunted,one of the farmers shooting a sneaker while the hounds carried on down,hounds had gone so far down that i could'nt hear them,another farmer came on the cb saying that they had turned him and was heading back up in the fields above, i had walked over a fair way by now and could hear them heading towards me,then the music stoped,i waited a while and then they started calling to ground,i was thinking to myself great,until i seen where they were marking,it was a bad old place not fit to enter a terrier to and when the farmer came up and said the same thing,he was lefted for another day,the weather was getting worst by now so we called it a day and went back to the farm for some food,which went down a treat.
