mudd dog 128 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I have two golf courses close to home I lamped them regularly when I was younger just because of the sheer amount off rabbits on them. Yes they can be dangerous and the bunnies are alot faster. You could also break a dogs heart easy running them on courses constantly. Quote Link to post

I lost a bitch the same way John,i still lamp on the odd golf course mainly in the summer when i am out for a bit of ferret food but i pick and chose my slips very carefully ,the rabbits run like they are on carpet and most are caught as the fcuk up when hitting the cover Quote Link to post
sighthound123 31 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 have ran turf fields which is the same short grass as golf courses, unless you've got a fast dog that can turn on a six pence you don't stand a chance imo Quote Link to post

Guest long-tail Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 been running them for years had many a mishap with the dogs to go with it them bunkers and trees dont take many prisoners,lot of heart in the mouth stuff at times,golf courses vary a lot with the amount of fairway space and rough ground as well,knowing the course very well is key to when you slip the dog knowing which way bunny is going to head for home,all the dogs iv had could pick a few up but never any numbers them bunnies can shift no doubt,good place to go to get a pup looking up the beam although never start them out this way you will bust it for sure 1 Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Knowing what you're doing with the lamp can help catch rabbits on any type of terrain, golf courses included. Quote Link to post
