Paid 935 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yep, like the other 2 have said, flashing it of the edge, or hedge is where you sort of flicker the lamp up and down with your wrist as the rabbit is approaching the hedge, they will oftern turn along the hedge, rather that plow into it if you do that. I recon its because the moving light makes them think something is already in there escape route. Quote Link to post

I always thought that it made it harder for them to judge the jump through the wire / hedge and paniced them, but maybe your right and the flashing makes them turn cos they think its something in the hedge.
