Thanks for the advice I'll give it a try.

I've just got some reflective lamping jesses. They would be easily made its only the 3M stuff that goes on hi viz vests etc.

Good as anything, I make my own out of reflective paracord, I think Youcanthide has a pair of mine, good luck mate they always grab the arse to begin with, but it does not usually take them long to suss the lamping job

High winds has stooped tonight's sesion

It's a nightmare isn't it !!!

Is there any other type of hunting so affected by weather ? I can't think of anything, even an airgunner can find somewhere out of the wind and rain.

Well up to now today is not much better, I was planning on going out this afternoon, but the bloody wind is blowing a gale, and the land I was planning on visiting is high up, and if its breezy down here its like a hurricane up there, so that is out, going to see if it drops a bit later, might get an hour in the woods, but I am not holding my breath.

Planned to go out lamping again yesterday but unfortunately a good mate of mine passed away in a quad accident so my head wasn't in the right place to be flying the bird. Wasn't planning on going today either but a mate convinced me to go so after a few drinks to our mate we set off with the bird slightly pissed lol.

First flight she hit the rabbit hard but couldn't get a good grip and lost it, second flight it beat her to the hedge, third flight she hit her mark. Rabbit in the middle of the field, let her off as it bolted for the hedge, jinked her and ran back outwhere she nailed it. 3rd kill so absolutely buzzing. Was nice for me and my mate to take our minds off things for a couple of hour. Thanks
