DOWNHILL RABBITS

[keepitcovert 842]

Any of you guys got a dog thats mastered taking rabbits on steep downhill slopes, i reckon they are one of the hardest quarry for a dog to get right, seen some hair raising tumbles that had my heart in my mouth, what do you guys reckon YIS KIC,

yes my last bitch did em no bother day and night, my two now will do them in time!

its one of them thing the more they do the better they get, I set my lure up on down hill runs so they get used to striking down hills

As I recall many moons ago I all ways tried too position my self between the rabbits and home on the lamp eg at the bottom of the hill and work up. To try and tilt things in the dogs favour as much as possible. Not all ways possible obviously. Nothing more scary than watching your beloved dog hurtle over the brow of a hill and down some deadly slope

It's always the hardest place to catch rabbits and no amount of 'lure training will help' you can't beat gravity ask Isaac Newton lol
