moon light

[pistol pete 0]

just wondering if anyone has a dog that catches rabbits and maybe other stuff when your out walking when the moon is up? my dog catches the odd rabbit and even had a hare once(early october) when the moon is full, not had anything in a grazed grass field but she seems to get them in stubble or rough set aside. if you have a dog that catches stuff like this what cross is it? also wondered wether that would make a difference ie better nose or more brain? or are all crosses capable of this? my dog is a half cross collie greyhound. cheers pete

dont go out much when the moon is up as most quarry here is hunted too often so try to wait until the night is right as i have found with my collie x grey he will hunt up on light nights and i dont want that to happen

Can see you're a patient lad!

 

56 minutes and you're chucking the toys out because no one replied, give it time mate.

 

I'm not going out in full moon, my dog is a pain in the arse for hunting up.

 

And I get a bit hairy too ................... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ............................

thanks for the replies! i dont seem to struggle with my dog hunting up when i'm out with the light she knows that when bring that out the house with me she doesnt need to hunt up. it probably helps that i live in the country side and walk the fields every night exercising me dogs.

Like most hunters on here, try to go out with things in the dogs favour [ not a full moon]. I have been out in the past with a F.M and caught stuff, but feck me you make it hard for you dog, they can

see+ hear you coming a feckin mile away With lamping you after take the good+bad, a F.M is

ok for them things in the trees

im confused with your reply pp i live in the country side too and walk the fields as much as anyone day and night but surley lamping on a full moon is in the quarrys favour

a freind off mine has two bitches litter sisters they are and he regulary runs hares with them by moonlight. its not something i personslly agree with but they dont half have a good sucess rate.

out lamping tuesday(fullmoon) with hang&bang plenty of runs even a few squaters, it does make it harder but i'd perfer bright and windy to no wind, and about other quarry look at percys treads 2 out of 3 foxes on a fullmoon

all the best
