Jackbullx 12 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Just a random topic to keep people interested whilst the season is off, I know different dogs are bred in certain ways to catch different quarry, but what is everyone's favirote, and for what reasons Quote Link to post

Aussie Whip 4,097 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Mates from Uk came over couldn't believe I mostly hunted rabbits with the other game around.I'm the only one around here that I know that hunts them.There's more pig hunters than pigs,but to each there own. 3 Quote Link to post

Wales1234 5,510 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Fox ! Not so much lamping them but a good day time fox hunted up is hard to beat I think 3 Quote Link to post

trigger2 3,144 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 pre ban i enjoyed lamping all quarry and have had some great nights out, but i really do enjoy a hard night on the rabbits just you your dog tuned into the the night steadily building up a decent size bag. i like to watch the dog have to dig deep into his tank towards the end of a hard night and still keep putting those bunnys to bed. had endless hours of fun in pursuit of the bunny rabbit.

jiggy 3,209 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Woolly mammoths it takes a dog with good technique to flip them but once they are upside down with those curved tusks pointing into the ground they are quite easy to dispatch. 1 Quote Link to post
Igz 1,445 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Anything and everything to me, the bigger the better, pre ban obviously. Do love to bag an old Charlie though. Daytime or night time I'm not really fussed I love it all. Or should I say I did before 2005. ? Quote Link to post

I did hear about the woolly mammoths being a bit of a hand full, my personal favirote is haggis I love lamping them brilliant chase lol Quote Link to post

Some good choices there I think hares would probably be 2nd before foxes pre ban obviously, but like you say fallow is a great catch Quote Link to post
Dinosaurs 2,044 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Rabbits for me just wish i had more on my perms. Even without the ban it would still be rabbits. Pre ban i did like foxes but only with the right dog. Atb Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Roe daytime. Couldn't beat it IMO. Seen an awful lot of dogs that were decent on the lamp get straight lined by a daytime Roe once they get their arse down. 1 Quote Link to post
