Went out last night Me, my cusin arron and is Dad, we went out for a drive a little further then our local hunting ground.

the rain was pelting it down and we had doubts about how the night would go, but as we arrived the rain had calmed down slightly, we booted up and started walking, we flicked lamp on and there was about 5 rabbits out but all further down the other end of field so we decided not to run them, we carried on and spotted a likey target in the middle of a field the dog was slipped, the rabbit ran towards me and arron and she struck at it, it toppled over and she then picked it up in a fashion....

we continued around the fields and took a further 4 in total we had 5 rabbits from about 10 runs and the ones that escaped did deserve to. for us 5 rabbits in a couple of hours in a cracking night and we all enjoyed the night.

when we arrived back to the car we had a nice flask of tea and a galaxy bar waiting for us lol

on the way back the rain became that bad we had to pull over as we could not see a thing even with the window wipers on full speed lol

looks like you have a good relationship with bramble your lurcher- well done!

hope some of em get eaten, nothing like killing and eating your own food- my dad shoots deer, pheasant, wood cock etc- we have to eat them all- cant let them go to waste!!!

my terrier is quick but never got a rabbit- once got a baby squirrel- thought she was the bee's knees!i didnt!

:thumbsup: you cant beat rabbit stew yum yum , my mother always cooked that ! i do remember my dad gutting a Deer once in his shead , next door neighbour thought it was a dead body hangin in our shead,she asked my dad loads of questions about it. :- "

i do agree with most of you , i really think educating the younger ones is the right way of life, my dad is the same and hasnt time to do this any more. and i would love my child to be shown this too . well done and keep it up :thumbsup:
