whats the most rabbits caught in one night

[micky 3,325]

I had some good bags in the 70s 80s lamping and ferreting,i had to , i needed the money,i had a young family and i got 27 pound a week sick pay,i could,nt lay bricks ,but i could catch rabbits i had a good market and got a good price,there are more rabbits about nowdays you just have to get off your arse and find them,i used to be out early evening or late night,often both ,i needed the money ,after thirty years at it i no longer need the money,so now i still go out as much as i can ,but large bags dont interest me [ though i like to read about others getting them]the same as chalkwarren,i now get as much enjoyment snaring a few or ferreting a dozen ,than i ever did knocking over 100with the dogs.To me lamping turned into work, and once i found that i could not get rid of the rabbits ,it was work i could do without.IT dont take much for an average dog to knock up a score on good land,its more down to the handler,can he carry it through,can he make the dog run when its flagging,how bad dos he want the money,with a few exceptions ,i dont think there are many on THL who are ruthless and game enough to make a good bag.

 

 

27 quid a week sick pay-couldnt lay bricks but could catch rabbits???

good thread lads tomo that is a quality photo well done to the two dogs

 

the land i run we get healthy numbers normally bringing the 30+ mark with one dog could easily carry on for more but the more i take is less to go at the next time

how long was u out for when u got them 100 rabbits

[hawcroft 7]

caught 106 rabbitts with 2 dogs 1x collie greyhound and a bull whippet greyhound in 2001 by penrith.ITS not impossible,you just need the ground,good conditions, and very fit dogs.THE MOST I HAVE TOOK WITH AS SINGLE DOG WAS 72 RABBITTS,BUT BEEN HONEST THE RABBTTS WERE VERY EASY TO CATCH COMPARED TO MY LOCAL AREA,YOU WOULD NOT HAVE THE CATCH RATIO GOING LOCAL AREA,S ;COMPLETELY DIFERENT RABBITTS.

TO CATCH THAT AMOUNT OF RABBITTS [they are not hard rabbitts],go down to the midlands ,you will run hard and less rabbitts.just because some people haven,t caught as much as others dosent mean they have a lesser dog ,somtimes they havsnt had the oppotunitey to good land and more game,I HAVE AND I KNOW THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN HARD AND EASY GAME TO CATCH.

very true some rabbits are harder to catch especialy here in the midlands, in fact anywhere in the country on arrable land with thin hedges can be vert difcult to catch.

 

but make no mistake hawcroft taking that 100 with 2 dogs was no walk in the park.

absolutly cracking post well done some good numbers there

[hawcroft 7]

I THINK EVERY THING HAS TO BE IN YOUR FAVOUR IF YOU WANT TO CATCH BIG NUMBERS,THE OBVIOUS THING GOOD DOGS,KNOWING HOW MANY RUNS TO GIVE A DOG TILL YOU GIVE IT REST,[DIFFERS FROM DOG TO DOG HOW MANY RUNS BEFORE GIVING A BLOW.GOOD THICK EDGES ,WEATHER,FITTNESS OF DOGS,AND IN MY A OPINION A GOOD MAN OPERATING THE LAMP.YOU CAN GET ALL SORTS OF CROSSES WHICH CAN GIVE AGOOD ACOUNT OF THEM SELVES IF THE RABBITTS ARE THERE.but for me if the right sort acollie cross is my favourite as long theyare not to clever in the wrong way.I had my biggest bag with a single dog which was a first cross collie greyhuond which caught 72 rabbitts THOSE SORT OF DOGS DONT COME ROUND TO OFTEN,YOU MIGHT GET ONE IN A LIFE TIME IF YOU ARE VERY ,LUCKY.
