help

bit of advice if anyone can help, just starting my bullx this season, had a few runs on the lamp and he has a couple now, thanks to help from peopl of here, ta.

 

thing is the land we lamp isnt particulary 'exclusive', saw three other people lamping it last sat night. so the bunnys have obviously seen it all before, now someone told me a red filter makes a big difference someone else told me its dont. i have seen someone else using a red filter round there.

 

what are your opinions? will it help?

 

any help much appreciated.

 

also if anyone in south yorks or notts/lincs could possibly help and show us how its done properly at all we would be very grateful, me and my mate got a collie/whippet and a bullx and were both new to the game.

 

cheers

lamp shy rabbits are lamp shy, wether you have blue red or green... It may work for a limited amount of time, but not forever. They say red is the best but each to there own...

yeah i think i am gonna have to find some new ground, get knocking on farmers doors.

 

is it best to ask if they need any rabbits clearing?

or

is it best to ask if i can take my dogs on looking for rabbits?

 

, dont want to sound like im doing them a favour, when in reality its other way round, and piss em off straight away.

Only chance you will get near them now is to go when its blowing a gale force wind and dont forget [bANNED TEXT] your lamping its as important to come right winded on the rabbits you are hopeing to lamp as comeing on them wrong winded will see most them in the wood or hedge before you have had time to flick the beam on.atb dell

if i was you mate, i'd try get some new ground to run the dogs on....rabbits that are lamp shy will always be that way no matter what filter you use...best to call it quits on that bit of land(a know its a pain in the ass ) hope all works out for you mate..atb..chris..
