:clapper: should of gone to specsavers (only joking )

out lamping its usually the tufts of grass/reeds sticking up i'd have to look twice sometimes they look like the back of a rabbit sitting up

Not quite the same but similar, about 12 years ago my ACD first cross was chasing on the lamp and the rabbit, took off towards a broken down wall, he struck as the rabbit jinked and he hit a fallen stone, knocking himself out, I carried him back to the car about 3/4 of a mile over rough ground ( me totally knackered ) he came round and lamped and caught another 7 rabbits. Hardy animals lurchers.

plummer said in one of his books, the way to tell wether it's a stone or a leveret? if it moves it's a stone!my dog stalked, ran, picked up and retrieved(live to hand) a reebok classic not so long ago! didn't know wether to laugh or cry!

Was out with a boy one night and slip his dog on what turned out to be a brown wine store paper bag full of empty bottles that some pr*ck had thrown over the hedge.Such a clatter,dog was fine though.

A few years ago we were out coursing on the fens: my OH's old boy says look there's a hare: pointing at a rectangular dark shape in the middle of the field. It can't be we said, it hasn't got smaller, just stuck there like a brick on the field. We carried on, ran a few, then passed the same field and the same block was still stuck there. I tell you its a hare, says the old boy, about 15 at the time. OK, we'll walk out to it: we did and it got up and ran and it was a hare and abloody good one: dog never caught it!

Amazing: it had looked just like a brick sat in the field, never got down, and really looked like a brick: square with hard corners.

Out with another member and slipped my dog on a rusty can thinking it was a rabbit...........

[blackpack 70]

out lamping one night and saw what looked like 2 eyes in the hedge. Convinced it was a fox started to call. Lamp back on no movement so i called for at least 10 mins. Only to find it was a road sign dumped in the hedge. Felt a right prat.

spotted a pair of eyes in the beam one night at about 70yds. The grass was still long and the Dog was still young so kept them in the beam and walked the dog up. Another pair of eyes appeared! Kept walking in and got to about 30yds, when a voice said "sorry mister we wont do it again!" I walked in to find a young couple partly dressed on a blanket doing what you do at 11pm on a dark Sept night. "Ok " I said "finish what your up to and bugger off, this is private land" . . . . . . . . . well what else was I s'posed to say!!
