border lad 1,047 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 he sure is angry is border lad dont know what that outburst is all about im asking cos i remember a lot of talk about tommy mcphee back in the late 80s and early 90s i heard from more than one source he kept some very handy lamp dogs and he would punish them hard with a lot of running as caithness was heavy populated with rabbits at the time. it would just be good to know if it was wifes tales or truth thats all. no offence meant to u chalkwarren. or anybody else Yes i read that, he took big numbers with his dogs. And most of his lamping dogs only lasted 2 seasons, and they were fecked then. Even if they were a good line, with [stamina+Agilty], 50-60 rabbits with one dog ,it could be done. But hit the Ton with one dog, i dont think so. And unless you have market for that many rabbits, why feckin bother.??? Most game dealers want clean rabbits from [gun or ferret] , when a dog as to work that hard , they can get hard mouthed and who can blame them . If i get a dozen , and a run on old red coat i am happy thank you Bird for your honest input, and happy hunting to you, Quote Link to post

I do not know what you are on about I never met that man in my life, I was down at Fieldsportshunter, on sunday around trip of 280 miles just to talk about dogs and I took my 6 month old down with me, there was 4 genuine dog men there I asked them the question of 100 rabbits, by one dog on the lamp can it or could it be done adamant No the same as my answer,No, so the only way your going to prove it is by going out and doing it, my pup should be ready in about 12 to15 months time, I know I WOULD NEVER DO IT BECAUSE i HUNT TO FILL THE POT but maybe you and I could have a wee run for your insults, and maybe I could learn a thing or two, Quote Link to post

You've got it wrong, its mark that stock piles rabbits for a better picture...............and the reason he doesn't lay them out is so you can never actually tell how many he has, under neath his 'pile' is a mound of dirt to make it look bigger...................
