johnrussell84 2,832 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Done a 107 one night with an invite from a boy off here with my old bitch and his little dog blade, started at 10pm and finished around 5am . My old bitch hit a wall on her 11th rabbit and took the stuffing out her we though the night was over but she came around. 3 Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 64 with one dog, back in about 1991. Though took 30 rabbits three times in the same week, from the same speck, with the same dog. Funnily enough, that dog was one of those no wind half cross bull bloods... Quote Link to post
poxon 5,751 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Enough to keep a man interested an content not enough to boast about. don’t catch no were near as many these days as there not there in numbers to catch but to be honest I don’t supply a butcher or game dealer ive no army of dogs or ferrets to feed I’m to lazy to process them these days so a couple is plenty to keep me going till the next outing 2-7 rabbits is the number of rabbits now from a lamp trip 2-3 times a week 7 Quote Link to post

Neobliviscaris1776 1,998 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Always good to push a working dog to its limits to see what it can achieve and see what it's made of. But seriously, who's actually scratching their heads wondering wheres numbers are these days when huge bags are being regularly taken? Done plenty rabbits ferreting and lamping over the years and I never considered it sport or hunting going for big bags, I knew if I did, I'd be killing my own sport in the end. If I couldn't carry my catch then that's enough. Big difference between hunting and killing. Just a side note, good pics though. Quote Link to post
