Lamping tips required.

[fielder 18]

Just wondering what you find best if you see a rabbit in the beam too far off. Do you keep the lamp on and stalk it or switch it off untill you are nearer where you saw it?

[ferretman 0]

switch off and get closer to it.

[salukixminshaw 1]

flick it on and off till you get closer

[snoopdog 1,256]

depends on the conditions mate ....if its windy and the wind is drowning any noise out you make,,turn the light off and get closer ..if its a still night i keep the beam on the bunny ..many a time ive switched the beam off and got a bit closer ..and the bunnies fooked off ......at least if you keep the lamp on your not creeping halfway across a field for fook all ...........;;;;all the best snoop ... different ways for different conditions .......well thats how i do it .....

i find putting the lamp to the side of the rabbit and walk towards it is best and you should allways get in between where the rabbits going to run

i dont walk up to sqatters ..thats what the dog is for put the beam on the bunny and let the dog do the walking ....unless you are talking about a young dog .....then i dont really walk to close ..i usally sqeak to get the rabbits attention if you sqeak quitely the rabbit will more than likely prick its ears up ...just enough noise to get the bunnies attention without scaring the fooker off ...this slight movment is usally enough for the dog to see it .....then scream at the top of your voice GEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDD OOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.... .......fer fooks sake give the bunny a chance .... .....

 

 

millet i havent got a motor that will do the ton ... .......but i have trained it to sit on the bonnet off the motor so when i get close enough i just hit the brakes and he slides straight off on the arse on the bunny .. ............

Thanks for the advice all.

[Guest rexdigger]

buy yourself a four wheel drive chase it round the field a bit tire it out then let dog out

[Guest rexdigger]

only jokin by the way

[Guest mush]

unless its a pup it shouldn't mater how far away it is the dog should run the lamp to it, If it is a stupid distance then the lamp shouldn't be on the rabbits that are so far out anyway, whats the point, lamp only as far as the dog will run-out.

i flick the lamp on and off till im happy with the distance then i leave the beam to one side of the bunnie, this normaly stops it running to the side of the beam, i put it where i think he has more of a chance, then when i know the dog has seen it i slip, other than that, squeek till it moves,
