Driving Land Yay Or Nay??

[Ideation 8,216]

The simple fact is if you were trying to cover 1000/2000 acres or more on foot looking for particular quarry. . . . . . you'd be a long time walking!

Its all about numbers with you lot isnt it???

Just walk the land, become as one with Mother Natures sleepers as you tread sombre wet soil, and if you get a rabbit or two on your nocturnal journey, thats an added bonus

That's exactly what it's about for me aswel pal, not being in a car with the feking heaters on , I can understand if it's your job or your old and your knees are gone lol but I enjoy walking with the wind blowing at my face and pitting my whits against my chosen quarry

What about the lads that travel many many miles to run dogs from the motor. Not actually drivin over the land but slipin from motor/roadside to cover more ground for certain quarry species preban and respecting how they do it.

[Ideation 8,216]

Totally different on different ground. Done some rabbit lamping from a truck, dogs got more runs, worked harder than they would on foot.

Nay from me, Fieldcraft every time. turned up at a field last week to find tyre tracks all over the field and 3 dead Hares dumped at the gate, a pox on those responsible, scum of the earth imo.

we have had it just recently the farmer is digging out all entrances not used by them and gates on all others, it will put hours on the feeding round and make foxing a pain opening gates all the time. and dogs would be stopped to if I did not have them who ever it is are just wankers end of .

I don't know about driving, but I have swept down onto my local football pitch from an embankment on my trek bike, lamped whilst still moving at pace and the dog caught, cycled pack up with the dog in tow with one in the mouth . . I felt like a hero ha ha

I ve lamped from a motor with different keepers on big estates and did nt like it much. Fair enough it was pest control and the keepers wanted the numbers but I had just as many good nights when I walked the same ground. The old dog will find things in the dark which you d miss in the truck .

I do have fun on the quad I must admit.

Personally I don't understand exactly how lamping from a motor driving land is done, the way I think it would be done would be loud , and f***ing annoying.

 

But I suppose the ones that need to "test" the dogs to jacking point it's good for them.

 

Leave them at it, just a lazy way of lamping.

Iv gate lamped and that's not bad but it's not driving fields like a disrespectful c**t

I used to think the same but a few decent and respectful dog lads on here drive the land and they reckon it's a real good experience and the dogs see much more action.

 

I used to knock it but I don't anymore, will wait until I've tried it.
