An honest daytime gallop or two,the catch was often an anticlimax and somehow soured some of the best runs, when an escape would have been a more fitting end to a sporting and worthy challenge,night time is for lads with dogs that can,t hack the test of daytime running and the test an unlit hare gives the mutts.

lamping hares was illegal even before the hunting ban

Lamping hares is no sport. I've done it myself like everyone who has lamped but that was when I was young and didn't know better. Take the tales of 5/5 dogs with a heavy doze of salt. Yes a dog will have an exceptional day but there isn't many will do it in January. Look at the competition on icemans thread, that gives a true reflection of numbers caught. Dogs making it through to latter stages with a single hare caught. Even the mighty bag chaser Kat of Bricks when he beat miles saluki on the fens only got 2 to the fens dogs 1. If I got 1 I was happy, 2, I was over the moon. Never was into numbers, much prefered watching the dog chase. Only wanted it to catch for the dogs sake more than anything. Still had days when I got 3/3 but it wasn't often.

Chid,lamping hares was NEVER illegal here in England or Wales before the ban not so sure about the Scots though? I only ever kept lamp dogs and I was in the game not just for the enjoyment but also the dollar...killed thousands on the lamp and don't give a flying f**k what anyone says lol..I loved it,more the f*****g merrier!!

Shame on you Fuji, I hope you enjoy stoking the fires in hell in your after life I've lamped them but once you've got a dog that can do it daytime you start to appreciate and respect your quarry more.
