jackard 36 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 pick a real windy night and try go for a lamp where there are a few bunnys , because its windy you will most probably find that sum of the rabbits lie flat ( squatters) walk the dog up to them and as they get up the dog should see them and give chase. the only trouble ive found that when you run day time and then start them lamping if they loose there quarry when lamping they tend to hunt out of the beam ( which is no good for the lamp ) always worth trying tho as some lurchers make the grade ( practice make perfect ) hope all goes well and some fine looking dogs you have got mate Quote Link to post
