IN SLIPS 134 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 He learns them to sit in the basket on the quad from pups so they dont run everywhere, but they run a fair bit and he says there fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
earlierstart 27 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I shoot of them and run the dogs behind but never lamped the dog off one I'd rather walk even if there ain't much about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mongoose 39 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I used to do alot of lamping off a quad, my mrs would sit behind me with a lurcher held either side of her and I would drive and lamp, letting 1 dog go when we saw something. It was a good way of covering alot of ground and keeping up with the action especially when the fields aren't flat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would rather me self plenty of times iam out saying just another field then another one till u realise its 12 and u got a hours walk home and get 3 hours sleep till u have to go to work think if I dint have such a demanding job then I would be out for 6 hours a night but as much as I love my hobby still got too pay the bills Quote Link to post Share on other sites
