How tired am I lol: , what a long shift we just did. mat up with Andy superdogs and Hare hunter, and we started lamping at 9 pm.

 

there was a good breeze blowing , but it was a little light at times , and very mild. to warm in fact early on. after the first bit and back to the car we had 26 rabbits 13 each in a hour and half. they had been dunked in the river a few times to cool off , and to be honest we didn't think a monster bag was on the cards with the heat.

 

after a quik drink at the car, we moved on and the bag grew steadily, untill we got to this little field. i had walked in first and picked a quik 3 up whilst till stood at the gate. i shone the light on asd to get his atention , as i new this was going to be a good field.

 

this is was what we needed 10 mins in this field and i had cought 10 rabbits, them two acounting for the same, by now my total was 34, Thumbsup: and it was at this point i thought the TON was on.

 

in the next field and another quik 3 for me. at this point we had to turn back and go the way we came and pick up rabbits on the way back to the motor. once they were collected and droped at a pick up point , i had 10 mins laid flat out , feck i was knackered Clap: im just glad they didnt photo me Shy: .

 

by now my batterie had gone so we were down to just HH , lamp, things started getting sticky now, the rabbits wernt hanging around, and hh lamp was on the fade as well , when we got to the car, Tara had cought 40 , and Ginny had 47.

 

Andy was all set to call it a night, nope: but feck that. we had back up lol: my lamp plugged in the car and hh on perascope duty Clap:

 

so we headed of to another farm, and drove the fields , Tara came back in to her own here, and qukily rattled up the 10 she needed for her 50, then we let Ginny out to catch her 3 she needed for the 50, wich she duly did Thumbsup:

 

so we done it the magical TON 100 bunnys , but with 2 dogs Thumbsup:

 

we had finished around 4 am

by the time we had aranged the rabbits for the pic , and gutted them and got back to andys car to set of for home it was 6 am Yikes:

 

a great night with TWO dogs that worked out of there skin

 

UP PERASCOPE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now you hit the 100 with TWO dogs!!. . I think you could give everyone the answer on- Do you think its possible with ONE Dog??. . Well done by the way..

just answered this on moochers il paste up what i think, just my opinion of course

 

 

can of worms time :hideingbhindcurtian: i knew someone would ask this. i have always belived it HAS been done by a few fellows.

 

but YES max i think it can............................. BUT there has to be lots of things in the dogs favour.

 

i mentioned that field we took 20 off , in all honesty they were very easy rabbits , i had at least 6 of those out the seat with the other 4 only getting a few yards. and andy had similar.

 

that was one field , emagin 10 or 15 fields with similar green rabbits

Tomo,if you don't mind me asking were these "virgin" rabbits ie:not lamped before? All the best PP.

not at all, all these weeks i been putting posts up have been on these difrent bits of land, somtimes taking a difent rute, or missing a farm out , but by and large there lamped regular and not just by me

 

the only virgins were the ones in that field we droped on, incedently i have never lamped that field in all the years i have been going there. a few more fields like that and who knows !!!!!!!!

I to have heard these storys a friend of mine went out with BLUE a few times. He told me it took Sixty odd off two fields one night an the night was very young. Is ASD still tryin to breed the old minshaw type dogs?. I have seen a few of so called Minshaw dogs an they look un related when you see pictures of the older dogs, apart from asd JACK. .

How far do you have to travel in a night TOMO and co?

 

This thread would put the lamping competition to shame

[Meerihunter 7]

a tuff question for me to answer, realy ASD should . but in a nutshel he is trying to keep the type/family

going, hes not alone of course, there,s a few others involved with these types , i myself have mated my coursing type to his dog .

 

of course mine might be quite difrent from the original type, although i think possibly joe ox might have a closer breeding type with the bull and deerhound crosses.

 

some of the others that were bred in lancashire by jim , all look like peas in a pod.

 

hopfully some of the lurchers being bred under the name will make a good grade.

Out of curiosity whats your average catch rate?

 

do you mean whats the catch ratio , how many they miss , to how many they catch??
