carlbell 0 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Just wondered if anyone else had a dog that can take bunnys with just the filter on. my dog on a few occasions has taken sitters with just the filter. I tried it because there where a few in a close area and thought it might not spook them as much as if i gave it the white light AND TO MY SURPRISE IT WORKED. Quote Link to post

Done the same mate, ok for close up ones but no good for long slips, even if the dogs run the beam well, with the filter on it doesn't cast the same light. Quote Link to post
