shushycatcher 219 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 last time i was out my bitch had 7 runs and 5 rabbits,the other two runs were things she didnt like and they didnt get away either! That to me is a good night and the old girl done me proud! Good enough for me,but i would like to give her 30 runs and see what the catch rate would be Quote Link to post
DottyDoo 500 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 What sort of catch rate would ye lads expect of a lamping dog,bitch with conditions right and plenty of rabbits on the ground.I had a dhxgh bitck that could take 20 or more in a nights session,would that be good or fair or bad,dont lamp much anymore so just curious. evry one always dances round this question,,, no rabbits round me 3 is a good night,,,, fecks sake get out find some , and test ya dog. in my opinion a fit , experianced rabbit lamping lurcher, on a a very windy night , on very good rabbit ground,,, should be able to put 25 in the bag 35- 40 is a good dog............ if ya dog can do more... then its very good. but of course some places are esier to catch rabbits than other places, catching down here in the midlands on rolled winter wheat with no hedges is very hard and your ratio's go down Quote Link to post
romany52 313 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Apart from the 47 I mentioned,another night that stands out in my memory was with the same bitch, she took 15 out of 16 runs only missing on the 11th run. Quote Link to post
