symbeau 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 What do people think about driving four wheel drives across the fields when lamping? I know if I was the landowner I wouldn’t like it! Personally, I think if you can’t walk the fields, you should stay at home and play computer games. Maybe an exception would be if you wanted to take a disabled friend, but even then I would clear it with the farmer first. What do you think? Quote Link to post
stork 1 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Depens on how much land you need to cover if is wet under foot then walk but in the summer when the ground is hard and dry go in the motor to cover more land and if its motor shy walk up to it the next night. Quote Link to post
DIGZY 4 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 think most of the people that drive round like to cover a few acres a night get rid of more vermin Quote Link to post
symbeau 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Maybe I should have explained. I don't use a gun, and I only lamp rabbits! Quote Link to post

dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 What do people think about driving four wheel drives across the fields when lamping? I know if I was the landowner I wouldn’t like it! Personally, I think if you can’t walk the fields, you should stay at home and play computer games. Maybe an exception would be if you wanted to take a disabled friend, but even then I would clear it with the farmer first. What do you think? I much prefer walking, but when I was keepering I had masses of ground to cover, and the only way to cover most of it would be in a good off roader. The noise of the vehicle dosent disturb most foxes and other wildlife, unless they have been previously scared by one. (Mainly shooting them with big rifle). It can actually help sometimes, as young'uns arent affraid of comming right up to them. I killed tonnes of foxes then though. It would have been a total waste of time going on foot, when theres over 9 thousand acres to look after. I still hunt the same land,(resigned from job) but now by foot and only with my dogs, and for me you just cant beat being on foot. Quote Link to post
