Guest vin Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hello all Tonight is the perfect weather for lamping,Its the best i've seen it for ages. Just been out local earlier and saw very little...managed 1 run for a lot of walking.Is anyone else half as pissed off as me ! I put the work in but just don't get the rewards local. A bad workman can blame his tools etc etc..but i know my dog is more than capable of catching rabbits..Only if i can get her on land with some on. I've seen her do 8 out of 10 recently,but not local. Could do with a few more spots closer to home on nights like tonight...i would be out all night if there was something to chase. The wind is howling outside and there's a fine drizzle...its perfect. so perfect its taunting me ! but i cant face going out again and seeing nothing. Quote Link to post

HiLost 32 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Im just back in, its ideal weather blowing a hooly but theres not many bunnies around here either so the couple that I did get were hard won. I had to try 3 different spots just to see some eyes in the beam. if the rabbits arent there you cant kill them. I would try further afield next time or go out later/early hours of the morning, sometimes if the rabbits get really lamp shy in certain areas they wont stray far from home until the night goes on and they feel safer venturing further out Quote Link to post
Guest RAB.MCKAY Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 sounds like i made the right choice staying in Quote Link to post
BEARINATOR 2,864 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yo Bear ! its as hot up there as it is down here. It was because the dog chased the big rabbit and caught it in front of the farm house, 250cc quad against the 1.9tdi he got blitzed didn't see one copper all night either Quote Link to post

I had to also try a couple of different spots to manage my 1 run...which she missed by the way.LOL. I do travel further afield ... as a few on here already know. and I do it as often as possible.. probably more than some on here actually go out on land that's loaded with game waiting to be had,Just on their local doorstep etc etc. Quote Link to post

nighteyes 275 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 at least the dog got a mooch about, better than sitting in Quote Link to post
Guest vin Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 at least the dog got a mooch about, better than sitting in yeh dog got a good walk..so did I..but its not good taking a dog out and not putting game in front of it on regular basis. Dog needs the excitement. Too many wasted nights and poor runs with the hedge hogging rabbits = a very frustrated dog..and a dog in danger of losing interest. Gonna do more ferretting next season,just to balance up the dissapointments...hehee. Quote Link to post

Guest vin Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 vin pm me if ye wanna few bunnys put in front a the dog nice one Dotty...I'm off down South again this weekend...think i need a camper van.Lol but its so good to be out on Land where there's sport to be had. I,ll PM you..maybe its time I tried North again..except last time I came up North it was worse than it is down here in South Yorkshire..although it was a very cold frosty night. i,ll tell you something else...there's been a few so called big time hunters offered me a night out off this site..but so far only a couple who have been good to their word. one bloke even offered to put me and the wife up in his B+B...funny thing is,He never actually replied when i PM him...they just talk the talk to make themselves look like decent fellas to the rest of us. Dotty i'm not saying anything to you..please don't think so...I'm just venting at the rest of the so called fellow hunters who have so far only led me up the garden path and told me where to go and catch f..k all...i've done some serious miles this season..and a lot of it wasted when I could have been doing something better. rant over.
