General question

[Kenny.B 1]

With the funny weather we have been having this year, and the differing breeding times up and down the country that people have been reporting, im interested to know, has anyone started working on the lamp yet now its getting darker earlier??

 

Either for work pest control, or sporting fun??

 

A little early maybe? Waiting for Sept / Oct?

 

Let us now guys and gals..............

Too much cover at the moment round my neck of the woods, thougth we would get an early start but it wasnt to be too much rain at the moment, knocked back harvesting.

iv been out only ones this summer!!i went to a golf course that i have promision for.and the baby rabbits are even well lamped with all the townies going in to lamp!!so i would think it will be well lamped in the winter so im not going to lamp there anymore.

i do the odd spot of lamping out of season but as soon as its in season again every other night i will be out.

this will be my first season with the dog but the job i do means rabbit work is available all year round, suppose global warming should be thanked for the fcuked up breeding seasons eh! atb natter

[compostman 114]

went out last night to sume filds thats been cut.had a good night still a bit out for the dogs.

[stormrider8 59]

Iv been out twice now. Just started getting my bitch fit, a bit of work on the bike and a few little lamping sessions. Theres still loads of un cut crops so its hard work. But the fields are crawling with rabbits. Still loads of half grown around though.

i wont hunt at all in the summer months , RESPECT for the quarry i hunt . i understand some people have no choice ( pest control ) but alot of people that hunt dont RESPECT there quarry by hunting through the summer months.

 

bk end of sept / early oct for me

 

so its each and every 1 to ther own
