Don't chop and change dogs so haven't started as many as others, but they normally catch the first lamped rabbit. Pick one way out on rough ground when the dogs ready??????

All joking aside what fckn clown lets its pup/sapling have a 100 misses, Im no lurcherman but when Ive had a young dog coming on and I think its ready I'll give it a few runs if it doesnt look like its gonna be catching I'd give it a month off and try again until its ready, Ive never had a lurcher need more than a dozen runs to be catching, I must have been very lucky..

Just to play devil's advocate here, when he said that he was talking of starting a daytime rabbit dog and sneaking in range between rabbits and burrows. It's a lot of years since I read it but that's how I remember it anyway. You'd obviously start on ferreted rabbit first so pup knows it has a chance but if a pup is started on the lamp first it easily tires of trying to catch daytime rabbits. Especially the type of collie bred pups that he kept and bred.

Whatever you say about Plummer etc, and fantasist he may have been, but his books did inspire a lot of young lads to get a dog and get out there, and for their time they read well and the photos were good. Just got to take them for what they are, a bit of light hearted hunting themed entertainment. 

Wouldn't be half the amount of knob heads in the game if he didn't write it then lol
