    well lads i have to say had a great weekends hunting. kicked off on friday night with the lurchers. we wnet out lamping and got ourselves a fox. we were out after rabbits but on a sheep farm walked into a fields and seen a big vixen walking around. we tried to squeel here in but she was a wary old thing. we went about three fileds in a low and behold we came across 3 cubs. we squeeled again and one came straight for us. we slipped the two lurchers and the excitment began. they gave chase and ran him down about 100 yards away from us. its the first kill i have seen with the lurchers with a fox and now i can understand even more the excitment whitser described of watching a good pair of dogs hunt down a fox.

    saturday sunday and yestersday produced three great days shooting for myself aswell. saturday produced 6 pigeons, sunday we got 30 and went out for a few hours yesterday evening and bagged 14. I cut off the breasts, cut them up into stir fry pieces and slapped them in the freezer. I kept out the breasts of 6 of yesterdays pigeons and stir fried them up in a curry, lads try it its delicious! All in all had a great weekend in the good weather. the pigeons season is really kicking off and im looking forward to a few weeks of it!

    your right, i have no interest in shooting them with the rifle personally, but a good hunt with a dog is very enjoyable!

    i have to admit i went to bed friday night considering a purchase of a hound in the new year!!! :eek:

    watching a good lurcher take a fox on the lamp is probably the most exciting thing in hunting,imo. i always need a beer to relax me after a nights lamping,cos i wont sleep otherwise, i do be buzzing. its pure excitment.
    talking of which, as soon as all the barleys cut i'll be back out. plenty of bunnies about at the moment, no sign of mixy YET! oh for windy nights and frosty mornings.

    im looking forward to the barley being cut myself, itl be good for trying to call in a fox to the shotgun aswell as running the setter after a few birds! although im not gonna complain about the crops the way they are at the moment as their giving me good shooting! the fishing rod is officially put away until next year from this weekend onwards!
