    i very often wake up early and sit drinking endless cups of tea and watching old rubbish on the tv . well this morning i thought i would have a quick shine, i left the house about 4.30 and to my delight the rabbits where out and very settled. my little lurcher did some real good runs, i am finding she picks them up better on the turns close to the hedge, dont think she is quite fast enough on flat, but i am hoping this will improve with fitness and practise, well we came home with two rabbits no more early morning tv for me .

    Really pleased i managed to get loads of new ground to work the dog on, The farmer has even asked if i will do the fields around his house as he is inundated with rabbits. Mind you he is lambing at the moment so probably method in his madness and he wants a hand

    i had mine injected with a hormone implant it lasts about 6mths , it did make him better. bit expensive but he still got to keep his bits .

    we had one great little dog, very fast, but very thin skinned.

    we had a wild rabbit about 2 years ago in our top horse field, i no it sounds sad but it got really tame and when we fed the horses it would wait for bits of apple, dave was not allowed to shoot this one then one day we watched the buzzard just pick it up.

    You know what to do then... Its exactly the same down with me as well - I was out for 4 hours the other night where it is normally boiling and seen very few bunnies and everything was sitting right on the hedge line which is a waste of a run for the dog. Ok the wind dropped right down to nothing but still its getting bad down here going to have to get a light for daves gun, the deerhounds barked until 3.30 this morning and to top it of a fox had marked one of the dog bowls, thats taking the p***

    I am a real novice at this lamping game, but things are going great with my little free lurcher, just wondered as we have a lot of badgers on the fields around me if they pose any real thret, obviously if you cornered any wild animal it would have a go, but last night i scanned the field to check for fox or badger, as we are both on the small side so only playing at rabbiting , my little bitch caught a rabbit and it screamed as they do, when i re scanned the field we had a badger following us, quite close. i just just moved on to the next field, but it did make me think i am sure it was on

    The ruck sack is working well but will look into a lithium batterys, when i am a bit more flush. and to top it of my little lurcher bitch has caught a rabbit every night The kitchen stinks of boiled rabbit, followed by windy dog.

    cheers for that chaps on the wrong side of 40 now, struggling tonight with two dogs lamp and rabbit, great fun though ! all the best Denise

    what is the lightest weight lamp for rabbiting you could recommend, i have a clulite at the moment pleased with the beam but ive a dodge neck and after a while it gives me grief. what was a bit iffy last night was the switch when going from dim to full beam :thumbdown: think i better try and dig out the guarantee

    I have 2 deerhounds, but from show lines, i find them to big and to slow on the turns for rabbits, they loose interest and give up, But they do enjoy other game
  24. southcott
    if you can get hold of any i would give pen and strep injection for 3 days, most farmers will have a bottle,
