The Need For Rabbit Dogs...

[charlie boy 85]

I don't own one trick poneys or any type of poneys its lurchers for me lol

[Buttons 140]

A good rabbit dog would of taken fox and deer and hare pre ban

But a good deer hare or fox dog wouldn't of taken rabbits in big numbers night after night

Proven fact

Does no one work there dogs during the day for rabbits?

I do ... Far more than lamping actually ........

I'm in the midlands aswell gibbo and I agree that there is a definite decline in rabbit numbers.

I think rabbit numbers go in cycles and that we are in the crap part of that cycle.

My dogs are shite anyway so it dosnt matter how many rabbits there really!

Big decline of rabbits hear but that is mainly to silly kids ferreting in summer and so on they get hares in corn too then brag there dog caught a hare on its own haha but there is more deer near me than anything else

Nothing to do with people lamping and killing much more than they need and bragging about it that's all you seem to read about people out lamping Edited October 20, 2014 by nothernlite

I'm with mattyg on this one...you're much better off with a crap dog because then every catch is a bonus!

daytime for me nl..do the odd night/early morning maybe once a week but prefer to ratch about ditches,hedgerows and woodland any day..had some great days already this season..dogs only ever on lead around farmyards and roads. .atb sesku

Sorry couldn't own a one trick pony be wasting my time where I'm from

Same here. A jack of all trades is surely much more useful to have about you.

Been out all morning good bit of mooching cant beat it

[Mick C. 229]

Need me dog more as the season rolls on.Withot the dogs we would never find them elusive rabbits

[s.e.s.k.u 1,893]

I get a real buzz watching the lurcher hunting daytime. .marking,flushing and then catching does it for me...she'd also keep many guns busy if that was required...got a couple mates who love the lamping game and to be fair they work the dogs hard but sat in a motor slipping dogs is not my thing but each to their own eh...atb sesku
