Rim Fire Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Well done a good catch there i think you got more rabbits there than i have seen in one field for a long time here in my part of the country and the ones that was left are probably drowned by now 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 well done, they look nice healthy rabbits and in some numbers (lucky man) used to love a days ferreting but we don't see many these days, just the odd pocket of rabbits here and there, I very rarely put the rifle on any I see now hoping the numbers will come back, thanks for posting.

7daysinaweek Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Cracking bag that! 👍 I bet she can still mark up and give the short net slippers a short run for their money. Is there a hint of Saluki in your old bitch? I miss the drumming vibration underfoot and the anticipation of a 'good bolt'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Good work. I shot a dozen off paddocks just before christmes. Hard work climbing over the wires and retrieving them. All body shot as a mate wants the heads for a hawk. Numbers are well down as I would normally shoot around fifty on a session but it will soon be spring.

Brambles Posted October 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Had the auld bitch oot for her usual bit of ferreting, just about to turn 15 and its finally time for her to put her rabbiting days behind her, she'll definitely be missed on the outings Just now, Brambles said: Had the auld bitch oot for her usual bit of ferreting, just about to turn 15 and its finally time for her to put her rabbiting days behind her, she'll definitely be missed on the outings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Just so long as SHE thinks she’s been out rabbiting with you, it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t do much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7daysinaweek Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 She looks like a beautiful dog. I am sure she has had the most wonderful life that any running dog could wish to have. From the look at your pictures I assume she must have had hundreds of hours marking and behind the ever bolting bunny. I bet when she is curled up after a days ferreting that she emits small excitory whimpers in her sleep dreaming of the the rabbit which is always just within a breaths reach. Superb!
