Sirius 1,391 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) No matter what your feelings on the subject, if that lads dog had caught them (instead of the lad shooting them) then that dog would have done very, very well indeed and I would be the first to say thats a top night and some good work for your dog. I must echo your sentiments WILF, although lamping hares is not for me, its a very big haul for any dog especially if the dog ran them on big flat fields. I would be lucky to run that many all season local to me before the ban. Edited September 12, 2011 by Sirius Quote Link to post

FUJI 17,156 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 great sport lampin hares aint it pal why not? why not hunt daytime hares and see if his dog can catch that many lol Not looking to stir up a hornets nest Scent but surely everyone who knows anything about running dogs knows that the lads dog has had to work to an extermely high standard to amass those? Why does it always resort to daytime v night time? Christ everyone knows that you ain't gonna catch that many in the day but you could say the same about ANY quarry? If it's not your cup of tea then why not just ignore the topic? I just feel there is so much anymosity on these forums towards certain types of hunting? At the end of the day the lad was out in not the greatest of conditions (full moon) so plenty light enough and his dog Gaffer retrieved a fantastic haul..give credit where credits due,there is way to many talkers and not enough doers on here (not stating you as i hear on the doggy grapevine that you do your share) but no wonder we here in the UK are in the shit we are regarding hunting..talk about unity...most wouldn't know the meaning of the word!!!

WILF 46,574 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 How old is this dog?.......if its a young dog then in my mind, there are no "rules"............if its an adult dog, you still cant knock the bloke for going out and putting that amount of graft in front of the dog. And I am sure that if he is willing to work the dog hard (as it seems he is) then he would have little problem trying it daytime as well, we all know that you wont catch as many but its not about that is it?.......its about finding as much work for your dog as you can throw at it. Obviously, this was just a shooting trip so its all in theory anyway Quote Link to post

collie/grey 238 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Well done that dog, who cares if they were lamped, everything is harder to catch during the day not just hares. Daytime/lamped whatever the dog still done well to retrieve that many. 1 Quote Link to post

Very true, it was like daylight at midnight and stuff was very thin on the ground........dont know what it was like where this lad was, but it was very hard going local to me. 1 Quote Link to post
scent 509 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 nope we kill more in the day because the foxes where we hunt are lamped to death pal so we account for more when hunting cover .Anyway fair play the lad got plenty of graft for his dog i suppose ,horses for courses and all that .Best of luk with the rest of the season Quote Link to post
