Popular Post smithie 2,443 Posted July 21, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 i give it a thumbs down... dog men talk of testing the dog.. well as far as i see it you chase the rabbit/hare/fox down then throw the dog out the window at 20+ mph not very sporting is it if the quarry is tired already.. at the same time some poor farmers having is field churned over im not suprised dog men have a bad name with practicess like this and i dont understand why you cant walk out wi a lamp then nobody would know you have been on the land 20 Link to post
fitchet 788 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 In the right situations it's brilliant I've killed loads of gear out the motor and on a good night you can put as much gear in front of the dogs than your average walker will see all season. I wouldn't use it exclusively but it has it's place. Atb 2 Link to post

"Permission"I bet that two thirds that " drive the land " don't have permission. In my experience gamekeepers are just as bad for driving crops. Most of them wouldn't dream of getting out of the comfort of there jeeps and "having a walk". My old boss who was head keeper used to lamp rabbits and could get bags of 50+ without even getting out of the motor as he had a dog to pick up. When the landowner asked him had he been driving over the wheat he'd say "nah musta bin the coursers I'll keep an eye out" . They never had any qualms about driving through next doors crops either .... Edited July 21, 2013 by fitchet 1 Link to post

I wouldn't use it exclusively but it has it's place. Atb true, you deff will see more game, its commonsense . All my lamping on foot so after 3-4 hours of walking most nights , the amount you see wont be anywhere as near as a lad in motor . But as most of the time ive had to jump over the fence lol, if things got bit hot, you can vanish into woods or what ever, bit differnt with a bloody big 4x4 lol. But if you got permission you will get more game with a motor 2 Link to post
