R.A.W 1,987 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Now I do have a lamp alone occasionally but the majority of the time I go with a friend I would say friends but 3 is more than enough in my book and 2 is better..................... I've met a few characters over the years and a lot of idiots but you live and learn. One guy that comes with me is touching 50 and fair play fit as a fiddle I just hope i'm that good at his age, 15 years yet . .................... IT got me thinking if Anyone on here still lamping past the half ton ? Quote Link to post

Although these days he dont jump the fence the same and mainly ferrets with his lurcher, and his lamping is mostly with the guns for the foxes for the keeper and farmers. But still does an all night shift though Atb Quote Link to post
