Had a mk1 ridgemonkey battery last 2 seasons been great running a 240 enforcer off it mines the biggest one they do so equivalent to a 22amp I wouldn’t but a deben battery.

Credit to Eric Trafford for the pic,he sent it to me in A3 and my wife had it done in water colour for me as a bday present this year. cracking shot of frank -
I broke him to deer to start with which was relatively easy just approached it the same as any stock but I couldn’t help myself old habits die hard so yes he’ll run them but it’s handy on a shoot day to call off and he don’t scream and shout if he sees them, however the first shoot day 2 seasons ago I didn’t see the roe break other side of cover and he retrieved that one in front of the keeper ?? Any lurcher in a beating line must like a ginger as there’s always a shout up and it’s got me some great nights out on keepers land most wont get on.

Only the scruffy bugger is mine I don’t own a “gundog” ?

Never read so much crap in my life,my beddy x has probably put more gear to bed on shoot days than most have had lamping all season ?? my dog lamps 5 nights a week on 2 estates with the keepers,ferret and help on a dig,yes he’s gundog trained but only because people said it couldn’t be done and can be called off deer but will get on when required. here he is in a class of labs as a pup.

Handy dog on a shoot

I beat on a few shoots with a gundog trained beddy x who does his share of work when it’s called for

Handy bits of kit,bloody boring night if you don’t all have one though. it also means you don’t need a massive battery any more as you hardly use the lamp so an hour max is more than enough.
