iceman001979 1,316 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 my pup just turned 8 months and wont see the lamp till she doing her job during the day think if yea take them out early on the lamp alot they seem till stop at ditches during the day think the rabbit as gone down hole or into thick cover so once there flying though ditches during the day then they get brought out at night Quote Link to post
poacherman 353 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 a work both day and night. when a go out during the day i do bushing but take the ferret with me everytime a go out, when the dog marks a hole a will do it. sometimes a go places just to ferret tho. a do a bit of lamping aswell. i enjoy lamping and during the day but a prefer during the day. love watching my dogs work and bolting rabbits 1 Quote Link to post
adamb20 22 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 i do both. prefer mooching during the day watching the dogs work but like to test the dog on lamp. Quote Link to post
Trigger 26 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 i am a lamper but i do go out on ocassions with the ferrets or for a bit of mooch, my dog does enough for me in the daytime. Quote Link to post
collie/grey 238 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I like both but prefer lamping purely because im safer from nosy eyes! Only go out with the ferrets now and again as i hate waiting about lol, but the dosg hunt up in the day and things bolt out the bushes when you least expect it!! Definately a lamper by far though!

Keano 74 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 do both but like the day time work a bit more Quote Link to post
Guest subaru poacher Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 lamping and daytime coursing, dont work my dogs with ferrets Quote Link to post
supersam 64 Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 i do both. prefer mooching during the day watching the dogs work but like to test the dog on lamp. i do both also and think the bigger test for the dog is during the day. it has to use its nose,mark burrow,s and work when the ferrets in ground to get itself in the right position for a bolt and for rabbits then a clean bolted rabbit is a harder test than a lamped one imho Quote Link to post
