I know what your saying mate and its frustrating but your right a collar is a bit harsh. . . at the end of the day he's trying to get game, so its a bit conflicting. If you were using him in the day time as well it would be a good thing. My advice i guess would be to work on the recall, so that he comes back as son as you whistle and then as soon as you turn off lamp. I've seen dogs that will hunt up a treat in the day and not do so at night. Good luck.

when my dogs miss the quarry i usually put the lamp on at my feet and whistle them back. They got the hang of it eventually
