When i was younger and "knew it all"! i would be lamping in all weathers, even the snow once!!!!!!!!, (but thats another story!) I have ran dogs on the lamp when the ground has been too hard through either frost or baked dry conditions and every time i have regretted it. Personally i woudlnt do it. A fast dog is going to fare much worse than a steady dog, but i dont think the dog should be run. Take the gun out instead and do a bit of night shooting. A dog with a broken toe wont be running for a while, and when the weather warms a little and the ground underfoot is fluffy and just right, you will be kicking yourself when you gaze into the kennel and see your beloved pal standing holding his leg aloft. been there, done it...lol....bit if you travel a long way to hunt....sometimes you cannot guarentee the conditions until you arrive and flick the lamp on..... good hunting.

well i did go out last night, i worked weekdays so its nto fair to fly the bird only on staurday and sunday, so i have to get out 2 or 3 times on the lamp a week, even if its only a few flights to the lure. anyway decided to take a chance for it. we had some brilliant flights, never lamped the place before, so that always helps. managed to catch one, and teh bird dragged it to a set, the bird anchored himself and i reached down to grab the rabbit attached to the bird, pulled the wrong feking leg and only got a the birds with a bit of fur. not good at all. hit a few more and then we decided to call to another farm, first field there was 2 sitting well out, one ran as we appraoched while one squatted, got to about 15 feet and rolf was off at it, it started to move as he left the fist and hit it about 10 feet from where it squatted. hit it by the arse and had a bit of a rodeo on it tho, before he managed to get control over it. decided to feed him up and call it a night. not bad for an hours hunting. lowest we see in the car was -3, but im sure it was getting colder lol. might post a few pics later if my mate took any good ones
