socks 32,253 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 How many lads on here can stop when out lamping or ferreting ... I find it easy to get what I want and call it a night or day ... I had a break in the fog last week and took the youngster out for a wander ... I lamped a few spots moved on lamped a few more and before I knew it I had thirty rabbits in the back of the truck ... Now to me that was plenty I didn't even need the thirty if I am honest but I wasn't counting ... I had a few more spots to do and it wasn't particularly late but I was happy with what I had and headed home ... Can you lads stop when you have had what you want or do you keep going until the end ??? .......... 3 Quote Link to post

paulus 26 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 that would depend on circumstances, i can just walk out with the dog and the lamp any time i fancy it, but if someone was say going up the dales then it would be different, you don't travel up there for a couple of rabbits Quote Link to post
Dewclaw69 484 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 i never take more than i need. i have a nice bit of permission where the rabbits bother no one. no point in me hammering it to get a big bag and cooking my own goose. wouldn't take any more than 1/2 dozen in a session. 1 Quote Link to post

But if not many rabbits there you prob take it bit more easy and knock off earlier , plus if your selling your catch you try bit harder to prob cover your diesel from the bag. Quote Link to post

peng 136 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I wish id seen 30 rabbits this season to run never mind in 1 night haha Quote Link to post
heritage 202 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I think most would stop out as long as possible if they were having a red letter day but with every season that passes and age creeping up it does get easier to call it a day than it used to,... 1 Quote Link to post
