lamping last night

[ginge2k6 0]

I took my 17 mth old dog out last night for a few runs, only managed one slip, it was only short, about 20 yards, the rabbit stumbled in one direction and the dog tried to head him off but miscalculated and the bunny [bANNED TEXT]'t the other way leaving my dog very upset and me very embarrased, even though i was all alone. he has yet to catch a rabbit on the lamp even though he has caught many ferreting and mooching about. this is harder than it looks. it was not all bad as i spotted a fox in the beam. it was to far away to even consider slipping the dog on it, and it failed to be fooled by the annoying scraems of the pink sqeaky hippo. oh well there will be other nights, my dad said i should give up its nice to know your family supports you isn't it.

Don't give up mate keep at it

I know what you're going through sometimes it seems like you will never catch one but just keep at it and after you get that first lamped rabbit under your belt there will be no stopping you.

good hunting

Id say if you dog is catching day time ferreted rabbits and mooching, it should have no probs when they are lamped eventually, after it has got a few setions.

Practice makes perfect.

keep at it mate i had the same problem with my dog she couldnt catch a lamped rabbit but now theres no stopping her.she is 3 and a half years old now and didnt start catching till she was just over 2 and she is still learning and she has still not mastered the taking of squatters.instead of flying straight in now she holds back,waits and strikes when she needs to resulting in alot more rabbits.my dad was also telling me to pack it in but i persuaded him to come out lamping again as he hadnt done it for quite along time.we went to a decant place with quite few rabbits and he done the lamping.my dog hadnt caught a rabbit on the lamp before this night and we ended up taking 3 out of 5 runs.i was well chuffed and there has been no looking back. since then she has took alot of rabbits on the lamp, she hasnt took hundreds but there pretty thin on the ground round my way.we average around 5 when we go lamping but hopefully she will get better at taking squatters resulting in bigger bags.

keep your chin up mate keep going lamping and take your dad and it may work for you lol.

 

good hunting

[Guest whitser]

just keep working him. my lad still misses as many as he's catching but he's getting better every time he goes out. the more lamping gets the better he'll get.
