  1. Get ya dog and lamp. Walk wherever you want to walk if you think it’s a decent spot and your dog should learn you as much as you’ll learn him. I never new fuckall about lamping really I’d been out down the Forest of Dean on a night I’ll never forget ?. Seen a good dog run, I can say he was a good dog as for what he was doing single handed was very impressive although wouldn’t be my kind of lamping but did get me thinking. Got myself a lamp a dog and off we went and taught ourselves most things. Couple of mates helped out at times but we were out as much as possible. You don’t need to wait till
  2. Yep mines quick aswel mate. A bit too quick at times. Had a decent night with mine last night
  3. Nice mate. How’s the sister to mine getting on. Been a slow start for mine to be honest with the weather been so warm but I’m hoping with the rain we got coming things change for the better Atb igz
  4. My two out today. Got way to warm though. No scent about but just nice to be out
  5. I know it’s where the dogs keep pissing up it. b*****ds. Leave em out during day in summer and that’s what they do to me shed
  6. Here’s mine they’ve had a new lid today, well tiles anyway. They never did like like the smooth ones and I had some left over from the house so my mate got his lads to throw them on so all matching with the house roof now. Sleep boxes are breeze blocked at back of kennel with a lift up lid. Insulated floor with thermaboard then a 3ml plastic wipe clean floor but they got Astro turf thermal blankets and a heat lamp if needed ?. Better heating than me at the minute I got no heating downstairs
  7. If I’m right aren’t there always 2 red lights on the battery and only the last 3 light up green even when fully charged. That’s what mine does anyway and it’s always done that from new.
  8. I paid £1900 from game fair about 2/3 seasons ago. Works well for me. Had loads of use out of it and will last me another good few years I imagine. yes it is a fair bit to pay but over time it levels itself out. Keeps me safe and gets the dogs plenty of running
  9. I’ve got the xq38 f mate and it can see a lot further than you need to put it that way. Not sure of actuall distances but I’m sure it’s supposed to be about a mile on a man sized object but never really thought about it but you Can see a good few fields if there nothing in your way. It won’t pick something up if it’s deep in cover unless your really close so can’t see through hedges or anything like that. Atb Igz
  10. You can use them in the daytime and there just as good as the night but I don’t really take mine in the day as I only bush if I am out in day but I’m sure they would work well if that’s what you wanted one for Atb Igz
  11. My grandad was top dog at Lucas foreman’s road factory. Worked his way up from bottom to top.He’s told me about it over and over again this last week ?. About 20 times that’s all? as he not been to well so I been popping in every day to see him but his short term memory’s shot but can remember old times no problem but he is nearly 93. Still gets about a bit but he worked there from age of 20 to 65. I see a few battery’s about in his shed.
  12. Big dogs back in action. Took him out for his first shine. Just quick couple of hours on the local fields. Been doing plenty of work to get him ready for season and seems to have paid off
  13. Wouldn’t be without mine now and it served its purpose tonight on two runs like others have said great for getting you into position. Dog still gotta do the work and that’s what he done. Got him into position 80-100 yards with a little wind blowing towards us as I know if lamp goes on there no waiting around as it was only local so they know the score. Let big dog pick up the scent then new he could see the silhouette. No lamp needed and same on second occasion. Young dog bundled one over right on the edge but wasn’t to be tonight and I don’t think I’d have got near any of them if I never had
  14. Yep that’s what I’ve done to mine took a couple of the lugs off and slips on and off quite well most of the time apart from when you ready for a run straight after another and your making that much noise trying to get it back on you just know you’ve fecked the next run up . I mainly don’t bother with filter though as I’ve got thermal aswel. Lamps only on when needed.
  15. How old mate is it saluki bull grey x Wheaton bull grey. Looks a lot like my dog. He be 2 November. Atb Igz
  16. If we listened to everything they say we’d be like f***ing robots. If they had there way we’d all be microchipped so they could follow our every move. I do what suits me and no one else. Totally agree with what your saying. The government are the biggest thieves Atb Igz
  17. One of the best I’ve seen you do mate although there all a very good standard
  18. https://www.uttings.co.uk/p118271-lightforce-enforcer-240-100w-handheld-light-variable-power-ef240vp/#.X0YJVfd4WEc. That’s the one you want but it’s just getting them like I say
  19. I’ve had it a few years now. Got it off eBay but they hard to get lately just out of stock everywhere
  20. That’s what I’ve got and it’s a great lamp. I’ve had my battery and lamp 4 years now and still going strong !
  21. Get out of it what you put in. When I do something I like to do it as well as I can and they try there best for me so I try the same for them. Don’t think my big dog would be as good as I think he is if I hadn’t put as many hours in as I do each season. First couple of seasons was learning for both of us then last season he really pleased me. Hopefully young dog goes the same way and if he keeps going I feel he may even make a better dog been that little bit smaller but we shall see.
