    For sure Walked round this morning spent the best part of half a day mooching over hundred and fifty acre farm. Most of the sets had been done. Managed to find three sets that had been overlooked and were occuppied. Im well pleased with about that

    I like to sometimes have a walk around local and hunt on land that has been visited by most people in the area that do a bit. Seem to get abetter sense of satisfaction if me and the team can winkle one or two out for the pot. its a good test of field craft. If the dogs can find scent we usually stick at it until we suceed Hard rabbits can certainly present a challenge but a very enjoyable one

    Seen young rabbits while ferreting two days ago

    The dog sounds fast and very keen A few busy nights out and the dog should steady up when slipped. Mine used to go up the beam like a greyhound out of a trap.Now he trots up nice and steady unless the rabbit starts its run before he gets there.

    larger nets can be a pain to set correctley in tight spots a brambles Also they are more prone to snagging when pursing. Depends on the job in hand really

    Or lying out It has been quite mild

    Need to get him fit Get him out on a regular basis . Preferably somewhere he will get a lot more runs. Dogs not got enough experience

    I dont personally own one of these lamps.I have a walk out with a freind who owns one. It seemed to happen on shortage range quarry when we lamp the golf courses. Maybe it was down to the grass been very close cut and the rabbits been hit with the full power of the beam Im not knocking the lamp Maybe just a bit of overkill in that situation I am looking for a light force lance myself as it would serve my purpose better than the clulite that i currently use.
  12. Mick C.
    Catch rate seems to improve a good deal with the light force Some of the rabbits we have lamped seemed completley disoriented and were easily snapped up Also a few more kills were made when the rabbit had actually made it to heavy cover Some seem to run as if unbalanced. I presume it must be power they are putting out

    Over shooting can sometimes be a drawbackl And if the gears arnt there when they get to the rabbit it usually ends with three sommersaults one rabbit and a lame dog Great to watch but very dangerous

    Find out the name of the manager of the club . also the name of the head green keeper. Go and introduce yourself and explain to them what you are about. It helps if you know somebody who is a member of the club. They could possibly put your name foward. This was how managed to get permission on a course last year. Meeting someone personally is worth more than a letter Good luck.

    I make a sound somthing like psst just before the lamp is flicked on then i change it to chuck chuck if a rabbit is in the beam. Walk him up to a few squatters he will soon get the hang of it
  21. Mick C.
    If its twelve yards i would give it five yards one side of the hedge take it throgh the hedge if possible five yards the other side I use poles to keep the the net up Forgot to mention. If the net wont go through the hedge i would p lace a large purse net/poke net inthe middle of the hedge.

    Them sharp little dogs then. Working three golf courses this season. Mostly laming and some ferreting. These rabbits are a good match for any dog
