hunter gatherer 2 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 well lads lamping is something i love to do but. im not one to go out after twelve at night. bigs numbers dont really appeal to me as i would have no use for that many rabbits. i would usely be lamping at 7 or 8 very rarely any later than that. but im just curious wat is the reason ye all leave it so late? and am i the only one goes that early? i often heard the sayin rabbits late at night are full off grass and easyier to catch. would ye agree with that?

bill 5 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 you cant beat lamping all night ..but i think the main reason for lamping so late is the law and alot of lads dont just lamp rabbits 1 Quote Link to post

hunter gatherer 2 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 true big numbers have no appeal to me. well thats until a friend challenges ha. but its nothing to serious just a few pint. even then that dont involve big numbers sometimes. first dog to miss a rabbit looses. do any off ye have little bets like that. be interesting to find some new ones Quote Link to post

stabba 10,745 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I usually set off at about midnight on permission or not so get to my destination around 1ish. By then the countryside seems to have settled(background noise..traffic and such). Always had best results at this time and you can bet your last pound that if theres any out of the ordinary vehicles about its either the plod or the keepers.atb stabba Quote Link to post
