Ive tried it when bunny,s become to lamp shy,trying to get the odds in my favour,jury,s still out.

On this spot they are shy with a filter on the lamp so it should come in handy i hope

It helps in locating them gafer,its then the usual bushcraft to get the mutts in contact.

lamping a art and shouldn't be changed

If they are lamp shy and you can't catch them, maybe it's the dog

[the big chief 3,099]

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

Something's made them lamp shy mate, is it just you that lamps it?

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.

Be better looking for other ground imo, cant see NV being any good for dog work either.

night vision would have its uses for other quarry but i wouldnt use it for rabbits tbh
