Ratting with Plummers


Recommended Posts


Thanks for replies guys.

I have considered lamping at night with terriers, but feel there are too many hazards about this place, sharp machinery etc. The 2 bitches in question are half sisters, father being Wyremead Kraken, mothers are from Coalville Billy lines and Eire lines. Night vision, I use a compact Sony handy cam which is fitted to the scope, I observe with the view finder. The digi cam has facilities for night vision but with limited distance so I use an infra red filter on the lamp to extend viewing up to 50yrds away easily in pitch black. Had to resort to this as the rats were very lamp shy after a while despite using various colours of filters. Beauty about this is I can record all action or take photos. The rats are totally unaware of me being there as there is no light thrown around them making them edgy. I have compiled a library of shots taken onto a dvd to look back on with some spectacular shots.I have to say that my figures have certainly gone up since using this type of night vision compared to normal lamp. I use this method simply because I just happen to have the right camera for the job and before you ask, no I cant afford a descent proper night scopes.

Glad to hear that Kracken has continued his genes! :victory: his sister Harlow has offspring with superb noses. :thumbs: If you do breed try linebreeeding to that Kracken line and you will get some "real" hunters but with bad coats. :thumbdown: His sire Luca was given back to me as he was to "hot " and easily found scent and hunted deaf!.. :wallbash: .First time i let Luca have free rein he found a deer scent and shot of within minutes of being let go. Unreal! :icon_redface:

Years ago lamping terriers at rat was my "thing"... nightly(every night!) ,,have also lamped foxes with a pack of 6 plummers along the banks of the river wyre estuary (behind the rat pitch mentioned)...great fun as the foxes stopped and watched the pack close in ..never caught any but was close once or twice. :clapper: The estuary at Fleetwood holds foxes in abudance ..once shone a lamp to show my brother just how many and one sweep of the lamp saw 9 sets if eyes. :clapper:

 

Any suggestions for a stud Amadore :thumbs:
