Dan Outdoors 13 Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Thanks all for the great advice, think I'm gonna shoot them on the coarse for a while, the dangers make me think that it's only a matter of time till I learn the hard way, he has hit a bunker on there before, fortunately he was just bruesed but seeing how that can turn out definately puts me off.. stick to fields I think, thanks again.

D i was a greenkeeper on a local course to me for 7 years which was good for me and dogs,but it did take a full season for the dogs to learn the ground,the following season they where all on form and i found the dogs to be even better on normal ground,at the time of working there i was runing a bullx a salukix and beddyx stick at it mate because 1 good thing is get a permission slip off the head greenkeeper or chairman of club and when shown to farmers they see you can be trusted on land atb Quote Link to post

darbo 4,776 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 agree with everything said. the golf courses in my area were easy to go on with no permission. which made them even harder fast ground and plenty lamp shy rabbits. Quote Link to post
the colonel 83 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 don't think it makes rabbs. any faster, just makes it a lot harder for dog to find grip for turning on, as grass like running on a carpet! also agree it's very dangerous for dogs, trees, bunkers, rakes left in bunkers too!

digginmad2011 57 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 somebody may have already said it but there very dangerous places for dogs my mate lost a fine bullx to a sand bunker unless you know the course well enough i wouldnt even attempt it i run on the driving range big open field and know hiddin obsticales but happy hunting atb digginmad Quote Link to post

Those rakes,not only dangerous to the dog but to you as well.As i found out when much to my mates amusment i trod on one & in true comedy style,it swung up & hit me in the mouth.I got my own back though last time we went on.He was shooting & brought his black with him.We spot a bunny & he crouches down to take the shot.I say,let me have the dog.No it's ok,he says.He takes the shot & as soon as the gun goes off,his lab is off like a greyhound with him still holding onto the lead.Pulled him flat on his face in a patch of mud.I did'nt laugh,much.

Rake aboot 4,935 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Feckin deer are easier to catch on golf courses than rabbits(not that I would of course), Total nightmare that will dishearten the dog in no time. I have a coupla playin fields that are just as bad.Shooting is a better bet. ATB Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,193 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 GOLF COURSES get ya self one of these Quote Link to post
ajm1979 0 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I don't think the green keeper will be too keen to leave one of them out for me every night Quote Link to post
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Would love to but i cant shoot on mine and can only take rabbits when the course is closed, so even ferreting must be done at night Quote Link to post
poacher3161 1,766 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I also got my first conviction for lamping on and near a golf course at doncaster 30 years ago lol. Quote Link to post
