iceman001979 1,316 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Folk who say, i'd rather catch seven hard rabbits then 100 easier ones etc, that's just bollocks. Any dog man would be buzzing like a fridge, seeing their dog lift over 100 rabbits. Its not just the running and catching, in terms of physical demands, but also just having the mental strength to go out again and again and again on rabbits, every minuite or so for hours, without the dog sickening. For this kind of thing to happen requires a number of factors coming together, obviously the land, and conditions and rabbit density plays a big part, but you cant deny that it takes a special kind of dog to handle the repetative nature of it. And not just that, but to do the ton, after doing a very good bag the night before, and still be lamping the third night as well, its just great. The biggest issue is that everyone wants to do it or to beat it, and so when it comes on the internet like this, you sign the death warrent of that land. The next couple of years will see a shit ton of folk visiting those places and soon enough it wont be possible to do those numbers anymore. At least its a bit harder to get to, or it would be like the dales, quick sharp, with everyone and their brother hitting it to try to get the numbers. Aye, its great to tell folk, but i think if it was me, i'd stick to telling the folk i know, and wouldnt foe the life of me, stick the location etc up on THL. That just proper fucks it, and what's gained? Listen if am saying l would rather catch over 7 local over 100 its because for the 15 years l have lamped the local land l never been able to beat it.Of course anyone would love to see there dog do a ton and for just one dog to it is some going.But most people would rather see there dog catch 20 hard ones that 100 rabbits that have never seen a dog, a lamp but everyone is entitled to there own say.As l have said fair play to the men and dogs Quote Link to post
s.e.s.k.u 1,893 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 iv only recently ( 3 years ) become involved with hunting with dogs and can honestly say this game seems to be blighted by a lot of jealousy of other peoples dogs and there ability. yeah a good dog will always outshine an average or poor dog but the owners play a massive part in the achievements of their mutts fact! . 101 rabbits with 1 dog in 1 night is imo very impressive no matter how "easy" or "green" they were. Well done to all involved 1 Quote Link to post

But to be honest, however 'easy' the rabbits are, it still takes one hell of a dog to keep going out and back in with a hundred and one bunnys, i think a lot of dogs would just go off the boil when faced with that kind of repetition. And to do it on 'night two', when night one, you did what would be considered an out standing bag, is very impressive. Aye, i would love to do twenty local, as that would be an outstanding performance for here, but i would have to admit, i wouldnt chose it over watching my dog run and catch over one hundred rabbit in a single night, its once in a life time stuff. Even doing 100 retrives is bloody impressive. 4 Quote Link to post

D Lloyd 2,790 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 IT looks like the lamping is becoming a numbers game,i think it is more for the ego of the owners rather than the working of the dogs,if lads were to do the big numbers and kept more quite about it ,i believe more respect be given,purely because it does not look like a dig at the lads that may do less no egos with us 3 thats y there is no pics on the site or would i have sed on here we did not start the topic we got a littel site were we post pics amongs mates that dont jug us. my posts with caled of the top of my head on there this season have been 2s 7s i think a 11 12 and a 20 so did i post them for my ego 2 Quote Link to post
