beaner 0 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 When ever the wife says: i think we need to go shopping, lets go visit my mum, if your doing nothing to night can you finish of that decorating, Quote Link to post
langouroux 14 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 all depends on the land mate, i have got some land they are around all day, but other places its strictly early morning and late evening / dusk....failing that, lamping is usually successful as long as they have been over lamped before hand. try going at different times of day and seeing when they are around, what the best shooting points are etc, sitting still and just watching the area for a while, it makes a lot of difference .

mattydski 560 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I normally lamp them at night, they re more relaxed and you tend to get higher numbers. Weather has a huge impact as well. Just remember safety is paramount, as is good communication between lamper/shooter etc.. We have a regime that works for us, which involves calling out your actions at every step of the way.. Telling your partner when you loading, when your unloading, when your shooting and when you need to pick up. Quote Link to post

adamthomas64 1 Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 cheers guys when you say the weather makes a difference what is the best weather Quote Link to post
langouroux 14 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 dry is best really mate with a light wind, keep you face to the wind so it doesn't carry your noise / scent to the little blighters. I have one piece of ground that if it has been bucketing it down and then sunny straight after, they are out straight away. Quote Link to post
mattydski 560 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Bit of wind helps, have had some good bags in light rain as well.. Quote Link to post
beagle1812 0 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Early mornings for me. I normally get there about 04:15 and start shooting at 04:30. They seem more relaxed early morning for some reason. Like someone said above just go out at different times and see whats happening. Good luck. Quote Link to post
