Sirius 1,391 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Out of interest, I generally keep a mental count of how many rabbits I run and what the catch ratio is on a night. I often lose count, but out of interest how many have you had without missing one? Which is inevitably going to happen, usually the second one for me. Obviously it means sweet FA really as land amount of rabbits and luck all play a roll..just wondering. Edited September 13, 2012 by Sirius Quote Link to post

jezza 126 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 a dog could take many on the bounce if choosing runs, for example, only slipping on squatters Quote Link to post

Chid 6,583 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 my dog aint the best dog out there i think he maybe caught 2 without missing one lol , but i would say on the fields i lamp a few good dogs would struggle to keep catching one after another .. ive offered a couple of people over from the mainland with good rabbit dogs, be good to see how they cope,, if they end up coming over Quote Link to post
Sirius 1,391 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 That's some going brookie very lucky. I can think of several times I have done 10's on the same night with my current dog and seem a few others do 10. Usually thanks to a new sheep wire fence and taking them from the squat :-) Then again down here they are never too far from the hedge.. Quote Link to post
