Lamping tips

[Casso 1,261]

Whats your best lamping tip for young lads coming into the game!!,,Mine would be, to try to get the dog used to running the quarry after a quick flick of the lamp,and not flick it back on until the dog has travelled a fair distance up to his target, wont happen over night , but worth it,,

Lamp into the wind and stay quiet - and respect the land and quarry if no one has taught you right from wrong.

Always carry a spare slip and dont slip when rabbit is to close to ditch

Try an position yourself , somewhere between the rabbit and his intended destination,,

my tip would be train your dog right ...

nowt worse than a dog gone for 10 minutes working the field putting everything to ground . a dog that retrieves is also 100% better than one what doesnt in m eyes.

 

another tip is dont get disheartened if your dog isnt catching as much as a mates dog. be happy with how your dog does

walk the ground in daylight before hand if u can with the dog, farmers leave ploughs,rollers,allsorts about

[Top Lamper 2k10 169]

learn your dog to come straight back after it misses the rabbit

nice long slip lead and make sure dog can jump, so getting over fences is quick, with out havin to drop lamp.

dont go lamping with any one fitter than you ,they can make you look slow . and dont go lamping in the day time ,and if you get caught poaching ,give some ones name you dont get on with :

That would be my top tip.

 

I cringe at the thought of a dog running into a harrow that has been left at the side of a field and the grass has grown over it. There would be no more lamping for that dog for a while if at all.

all depends how brainy your dog is and if you let i learn by leaving it work loose and took it out from a pup . Edited March 25, 2010 by 2GOOD
