coloured lamp filters

[bullmastiff 615]

Used to use a Red filter for spotting quarry then flip it up to run the dog but I lost it whilst out. I've noticed a big differance in the quarry. Their very lamp shy to white light, sweep too much of the field with the light then they all bugger off for home at once.

you lamp the same land week in week out year in year out its a matter of having to use one fact, if i was to lamp my land without one id be lucky to get a run ,its not a matter of wanting to use one its a matter of having to, plus you try picking rabbits eyes up laid flat on winter stubble without a filter its not easy

It's foxes who can't see red, not sure about rabbits but remember reading that in sporting shooter.

might just react differently to it, so if they are lamp shy it's worth as try

i use the amber filter, you dont seem to loose as much of the beam as with the red and still gets them to sit a bit longer
