Used to Run my old bitch that way, no slip lead, when her nose went up and she shot off..... Flick the lamp on when she had connected..... Saved many a blank night

I hate the thought of the dog hunting up at night.he will during the day but at night as soon as the lamp is off he is right back to my left hand side.

I don't want to encourage that to be honest mate.

But Yea I agree theres plenty of stuff sitting about when it's dark.

Honestly king, I really am not one for the lamp. But when I used to go regularly, I could tell what was in front of me by the way the dog was behaving, before I turned the lamp on

I still walk some places under a full moon without a lamp because of nosey neighbours  it's surprising just how much gear you do bump in to just under a moon and how much you can see that would normally be gone when lamped

My problem is I can't see to the end of the beam with a Striker170, glad the dog can, sometimes its pot luck if I've got the quarry in the beam ffs.

Cheers, D.

The hunting up at night without a lamp ...

How do you work that out surely it's more sportsmanship than lamping

Dont know about you but i like to see my dog work not hear it.

Hear it trust me mine are mute and I'm pretty sure your dog will graft harder under a moon than a lamp

Aye if you enjoy it good luck to ya. To me it can be just another couple of carvases to sort out without the pleasure of seeeing a good run

And I'd still walk out without a lamp, just to see what my dog fetched back to me. Love it, even more so without a lamp
