the big chief 3,099 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 On this spot they are shy with a filter on the lamp so it should come in handy i hope Quote Link to post
morton 5,368 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 It helps in locating them gafer,its then the usual bushcraft to get the mutts in contact. Quote Link to post

baw 4,360 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 If they are lamp shy and you can't catch them, maybe it's the dog 1 Quote Link to post

Country Joe 1,411 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Soon as ya put the lamp on they are off hitting the hedge nothing to do with the dogs at all managed one last night Sounds like educated rabbits, that know the lamp spells danger, have you been lamping them too often, or have you lampers on your ground? if the hedge has burys, maybe best ferreting it.

Do you spot much other wildlife with it? Just curious. I'd love to try one but I'm too mean to buy one until I know just how good it is.

STRANGER 948 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Be better looking for other ground imo, cant see NV being any good for dog work either. Quote Link to post
