All depends. The weather has been good for lamping round here the last week or two so we've had a few trips out. The only time I'd go out on a bright moon would be if we'd had a spell of unsuitable weather and hadn't been out for a while.

As long as its raining the moon is covered over any way,i like to get the dogs out on lamp at least twice a week,some times that means going out on bad nights,but its better for the dog to run one rabbit than none.I just keep a few local spots for nights when its not worth the travel,or educating the rabbits.

deerhound hunter the moon phase is 28 days, thats a full moon evry 28 days, and a new moon is exactly inbetween 14 days after , then again in 28 days.

 

i always have a diary with the moon phases in, there is here on these sites a moon phase calculator that shows the moon each month, ile put the linc underneath.

 

i will go out when theres is a big moon , but only if its blowing a gale, or im running a few bits sat right out in the fields, i have done 30's on a moon but like i say with a good wind.

does anyone find the dogs tend to hunt up,or run on a bit if they miss when working on a full moon?

If we all waited for pitch black nights with a bit of rain and blowing a gale.....

 

 

How often would we get out over a month...? Dont get me wrong there is some nights when i look out ad see that big full moon without a breath of wind and not a cloud to be seen and think na i anit moveing from in front of this fire.......

You can also add a custom button to your google toolbar which gives you an easy to read graph which predicts the times when game & fish will be most active.Search for hunting moon phases in add google buttons.Its quite accurate.

Likes been said if you wait for perfect night you wont go out much ,which might suit some but not me,i go out 4 times a week what ever,only weather i dont go out in is fog/mist.
