yeah a know what yas mean after first night out they become lamp shy

 

the rabbits become lamp shy, because they aint been caught .? If you pick your rabbits you know the dog a good chance of catching,( it will be 1 less none lamp shy rabbit). Ive done loads of times lamped 1 rabbits dog got it, and only 10 yds away another rabbit never moved . I know you( carnt) catch every rabbit, but you can make it easier on the dog and not so many lamp shy rabbits, if just( think) a bit on each run,!! Jim R/M) on here would tell you same, and he gets loads of rabbits

I know all ground is diffrent ive been on alot of differnt places working Bryn my 1x colliegrey, and some places are feckin hard, and some alot easier.But i or we have still tried to get the dog on the best run we could, not just daft slips .!

try to not get the rabbit with the lamp right away then, when you scan the field keep it off them once you seem, get the dog ready walk up in the dark, then you should have idea where it is, them flick on and the dog should have a good chance on it. ok you aint going to get every 1 but you will get good few.
