terryd 8,504 Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Air rifle and lamp is a good combo Plenty to watch on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lamping+with+air+rifle My first ever trip out with a lamp was with a yellow flashing light i pinched off some roadworks. It was all i had but never forget seeing some rabbits scoot by close. It sowed the seed. Farmer must thought the mrs drugged his hollicks when he looked out window Quote Link to post

Anything dodgy? Or any sort of fishing going on in the lads posts, seems quite genuine, could be wrong tho. if the lad was asking for pics of smashed up dogs, or quarry, or asking how to do illegal stuff I’d see your point, but to ask for the basics on ferreting and lamping is hardly side splitting humour Seems abit pointless like our Steve's shed If he ain't genuine Quote Link to post

And then the normal light isn’t that good because it blinds the rabbits or makes them confused? I pointed my lamp up a field from my house so there was no other way of me scarring the rabbit but when I put the lamp on the rabbit it ran away but how is lamping possible if the rabbits run away as soon as they see the light? I don’t know anything about lamping and I’m just trying to find out a bit If uv got a lamp, air rifle and ferrets best way to learn is to just get yourself out after em as much as possible. Every escaped rabbit and unsuccessful trip out will be a learning curve ( nowt wrong with asking for advice aswel mind ) but u carnt beat just just getting amongst it to learn your field craft and those first bits of success priceless. My only regret Is not getting into running dogs sooner . Was always more involved in the shooting an went into keepering at a young age so always had labs. Always fancied a lurcher of some sort an always admired a nice lurcher [BANNED TEXT] I saw one , but just never got round to it. Probably didn’t have the time to do one justice. But now I’m out of keepering and me last lab bit the dust , I finally said f**k it I’m Gona have a runner . Iv absolutely loved it an not looked back since . Had abit of a false start with me first dog a beddy grey whip who got hit by a car just as he was getting going. But got straight back in with another pup and loving it. My advice would be f**k the rifle off and get a whippet or sumat , it’s way more fun , trust me 6 1 Quote Link to post
