Lamp Shy Quarry~Night Vision

[spiderfly 111]

Just wondering last season alot of rabbits and foxes in my area were lamp shy , Turn on the lamp and they would be gone, so was thinkin if you used a night vision cam to to spit the game and then switch on the lamp when your close enough to the game , has it been tried? The results? I know some ppl won't lik the idea but it gets annoying being out and gettin no slips at the game and just to point out there is a lot of fellas lampin around were I hunt !

the quarry mightn't be able to see you, that dont man its deaf. try using different colour filters on the lamp

Amber and red filters are good for lamp shy quarry

I tried the red filter a lot and works great, but stil some quarry keepin and running a mile away , good point banter

dont think nightvision works aswell on a proper night for lamping an a bit rain hitting up the face

Mission impossible isn't it.

Night vision can be very effective

If its only some running off that's the norm surely. If you didn't miss a few there would be f**k all left come the end of the season

with filters (any colour) they are good for a while, but as the season goes on , the game will shy away from any colour, once its had the lamp in its face few times. They are good for young+soft game, but a millon c/p lamp(any colour) will sooner or latter will get any game on its starting blocks

If your shining the lamp in the same rabbits face a few times, it ain't filters you need, its a new f***ing dog only kidden pal lol. sometimes if you are lamping the same ground over and over again, if you can, it pays to enter the field in a different part. I know the wind doesn't always dictate that but some places you lamp the same way through habit. Try doing it in reverse etc.

I've been using night vision for quite a few years with dog and rifle and it can work very well on Charlie.

 

The problem is a lot of foxes aren't just lamp shy but shy to being called to as well.

 

One of the problems I found when using NV/ lamp and dog when calling was keeping the dog calm and quiet. My dogs were pretty quiet but as soon as I would start to call the anticipation of there quarry getting closer would sometimes tip them over the edge.

 

It's sounds like on your ground there's a fair bit of pressure so I would give the filters a try first.

 

Just bare in mind with the NV monoculars theres a lot of shite on the market that will empty your wallet and not fill your game bag, most are only good for about 50 yards.
