lamping last night


Recommended Posts

Last night me and my dad decided to have a go at the rabbit population as the wind had picked up and the sky was full with light rain.our lamping equipment was gathered into the car and we were away just before 12:00.the first field revealed a handfull of rabbits then we soon spotted one squatting ,bramble was slipped and an exciting course unfolded.Up and down the hedgerow bramble struck carelesly and over shot ,but she was back onto her rabbit and pushed it away from the hedge for a nice pick up.on the next rabbit she used her experiance and after a little course put the 2nd rabbit in the bag.The third and forth rabbits had been caught around the edge of two lakes.the forth was not text book but certainly different , she had just missed one rabbit and dad put the beam onto a squatter.bramble moved to within one foot of the rabbit and pounced but not at the rabbit but just infront to get it on the move.this worked in her favour and scooped it up in front of our feet.We had a few more runs through out the night and bram bagged our 5th bunny on the last run of the night as she worked well to keep this one out of a hedge.a very enjoyable night which provided dog and ferrets with some food for a couple of days. :victory:
