Malt 379 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 when the dog strikes love it Yep, that's what I like too! Maybe it's because I'm a relative newcomer to the game and my dog hasn't really caught that many (50 odd over the last two years) When he strikes and holds a rabbit I feel a great mixture of relief & pride that the dog had done his job. Maybe once I get used to the feeling of a dog actually catching a rabbit, I'll be able to relax and enjoy the actual chase a bit more. Quote Link to post
BIG_SLIM 17 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Being out at night is one of my favourite things. I like how quiet it is and the fact most people are tucked up in bed. I love watching the dogs run and be tested. I love how the quarry runs and outwits the dog. I always admire the quarry and what amazing animals some of them are. I love when you meet a particularly good animal or one that outwits you time and time again and your always happy to catch it but a little bit gutted aswell. Being in the company of good dog lads and having a laugh all night. I dont think i will ever get enough of lamping. I can go out on the beer or spend the night in a club but nothing compares to the buzz of being out transfixed on that little beam of light. Its not just antis who dont understand. The general public and alot of part time hunters will never understand the feeling of loving lamping. How hard it is to get up for work with little or no sleep but you know you have to else you cant afford to go lamping the next night lol. Quote Link to post

littletimmy 71 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) The best bit for me, watching a pair of eyes come bounding in, feeling the dogs heart beat pick up through the collar as they anticipate whats about to happen I love when you meet a particularly good animal or one that outwits you time and time again and your always happy to catch it but a little bit gutted aswell. I must of said on atleast 5 occassions last year, i wish that one had got away. Its a strange sensation but you do sometimes find yourself rooting for the quarry Edited September 17, 2010 by littletimmy Quote Link to post
