mally 832 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I was asked to judge this heat which was held near me. Chartpolski brought his brother with him and they have stayed with me for a couple of days prior to the heat. We arrived at bolts to be greeted with pizza etc, we should have stayed there and had a few beers as it wasn't a very good night for lamping to say the least. But due to circumstances we had to run the heat on a full moon, we were hoping for a bit of wind and cloud cover but it just didn't happen. As soon as i saw the dew on the first field we walked in i knew it would be a long night. It actually took over an hour for both dogs to get a run each!!!. We walked out legs off for the runs we got and we even travelled to some more ground nearby to see if we could get more runs but to no avail. Anyway we still had a good craic and both dogs got equal runs. The Bolt won the spinup and opted for CP to run first.. Cp is a blind bugger and slipped his bitch delta on one of those big rabbits she ran it well and took it through a hedge onto a track and through the other hedge running it without the lamp. There was the tell take sound of a catch but she had caught it halfway through a sheep fence and it pulled through. so it didn't count. RUNS CP BOLT 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 We must have walked near 8 miles for the 8 runs, there was just nothing out. Congratulations to CP for winning the heat it's just a shame we didn't get to see the dogs run a few more. Many thanks to the Bolt for making us welcome and also thanks to Farmer 1 for taking out CP's brother for a nights lamping on his permission.. Quote Link to post

TOMO 26,037 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 3 rabbits , you boys in this comp have got to get on some decant land, yes i know the meeting up with new chaps is all part of it, but fecking ell, not a single heat in double figures when me and LDR talked about the rules, evry one had to own a car so there was none of the bollox like last year with WH and crew. by having a car and being on permision, you can lamp from 7.30 pm onwards. so work aint an isseu, the point is you should be able to run a heat with a day or two's notice. not need to book it weeks in advance. the moon is now 3/4 down , so you can now lamp right up till almost the end of the month, just watch the weather on the net , long and short range predictions, then pencil a number of nights in. come on fellas none of these heats have tested a dog Quote Link to post
FUJI 17,156 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 You can only catch whats there i suppose but like you say Tomo it'll be farcical should a dog go on and win the "comp" and be crowned best dog here if it has only caught a handful of bunnies? Abide by the rules ie:permission etc: BUT should there be more bunnies on your neighbouring farm get amongst them and show some balls ffs!! Was out t'other night and retrieved 7 foxes never mind 2 rabbits...would that make me a winner haha.Sorry but come on .All the best PP. Quote Link to post
undisputed 1,664 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Thought it was a competition....if the bunnies aint there you cant pull them out a hat...agree more thought should be given to conditions how hard can it be to phone and have a chat about what the weathers like?
