jeppi26 1,855 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I do both but do like lamping from the motor put way more game in front of your dog but I do like a good walk round the places you carnt get in the jeeps there is nothing in the fields next to the roads I beg to differ mate ;-) Quote Link to post
nighteyes 275 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 ive always lamped on foot myself but i can see the advantage from lamping from a motor although not for me your gonna cover twice as much ground = much more game , but id imagine your dogs have gotta be seriously fit and conditioned to run beside and run game aswell, imo you would need a couple of dogs to keep switching round like tomo said, as you wouldnt be long fecking one dog on its own ,but i think the only difference would be much much fitter dogs if run from the motor than on foot Quote Link to post
Guest vin Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Been out with mates in the past in the 4x4 lamping and it was a great way of getting up close to the bunnies and also cutting them off from the hedges with the truck etc etc. . Can see the advantages if you have the land that is is possible on. Most of the lamping I do would not be possible in a vehicle..you would struggle with all the fences,gates, bankings etc etc. I prefer a good walk anytime...But if i had to walk miles to each pocket of rabbits it would be easier in a 4x4 obviously. also I hav'nt got a truck that would get me across the fields,and dont want the fuel bills for running one on the amount of miles i put in. I do like ferreting from the back of the truck... if and when possible.. and thats simply because im a lazy git and hate carrying all the tackle for miles. Horses for courses as they say.

jack lee 137 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I think if you no your land it could be fun, but if not you could just pot hole your jeep easily,anyway you would not get away with it in our area,to many keepers :yes: Quote Link to post
ian 1 36 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 i lamp from a motor,but i would nt help a dog that was on a rabbit by blocking its run ,but on a big ear i would only help the dog out if it was a young dog that was inexperinced ,and i all so think that there are some people who drive have nt got a clue and thats why alot of you did not enjoy your night out ,go out with some one who knows there job and you will think different Quote Link to post
bryson 562 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 ive been out lamping from the motor a few time and i think i would of enjoyed it if it was done properly but the lad insisted on chasing the bigguns down for a bit to tire it out before letting his dogs out which in my eyes is giving the dogs an unfair advantage i refused to let my dog out of the car but a will be driving myself next season so i will definatley be giving it a go Quote Link to post
WILF 46,817 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 On some permission you have to drive, it's just to big to cover otherwise other times a walk is the order of the day.....like most things as long as you don't goon about and show some respect it's no problem either way. 1 Quote Link to post
