walk the land?

[123456 146]

Who walks the land before they run there dogs on it? Iv only ever done it to 2 bits of ground and am yet to run the second.

i have land local to me that i walk most days, an lamp when im on me tod or meeting somebody for the first time, its pretty decent land an always holds a few bunnys, so i use it to keep dogs fit in between travelling around an lamping other land further away, i try an get me dogs on all the land i lamp during the day, but its just not possible imo

 

 

what i will say is, i have noticed that even when you been lamping land for years when you see it for 1st time in daylight im always amazed at how much ye have missed during day

would like to walk all of it before lamping but sometimes its just not possible due to time , but its amazing how different land looks at night to during the day

I do, the one time I didn't a dog hit cattle feeders sunken into ground and broke it's leg, a mistake that will not be repeated where possible,

I always have a walk over it during day light to check for hidden dangers, but when I've got different lads out I'll slip my own dog in places where their is a danger of a strange dog hitting a hidden obstacle

Sometimes. If I see a lot of game somwhere Items to chip off an wait for a dark windy night. I do believe its good for a dog to have an idea of the ground it's about to run.atb

I'm lucky. The land I lamp I also ferret and mooch on by day. And there's places on it I wouldn't dream of slipping a dog at night: gravel pits, deep drains almost hidden by reeds and stuff, fallen trees, and tons of barbed wire everywhere. Lethal stuff for a dog with lots of drive.

In an ideal world it's great to know the land you run and night but it ain't always the way it works out.

I ALWAYS RECCY THE GROUND IN THE DAYTIME ,SAFER FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED DOG,S AND MAN.

YOU DONT NEED TO TAKE YOUR DOG DURING THE DAY

Walking the land during the day not only learns you the danger zones,but also the easiest points of access to other fields etc.Nothing worse than blind lamping and struggling to enter the next field.You can also see where the quarry is seeking refuge and use the knowledge gained to plan your night accordingly.
