    Who uses a filter, and what is your preferred colour for lamping rabbits?

    Bunny Boiler thank you. Ok guys, which is it to be the 240 Light force or a 210 deben?
  3. jon15
    Thank you all for your replies, it sounds like it’s between the lightforce 170 or a deben 210.

    Am looking to buy a new lamp, currently using a Tracer sport light 15w, am finding the beam too narrow and the LED light is so brilliantly bright that I’m convinced my bitch finds it hard to see the rabbits especially when running towards the lamp. Am very happy to spend a few quid on the right thing as an early Christmas present to myself! My land varies from paddocks to big open arable fields. Would be very grateful to hear what people are using and what they like. Happy Christmas all. ?

    99% lamping. No mike brown stuff.

    People work pure Whippet’s, Saluki’s even deerhounds, so why is a breed that is free of almost all genetical impairments and has been bred for hundreds of years to be the fastest breed on earth and is the base and sometimes the majority of almost every lurcher so rarely raised as a lurcher?!

    Anyone raised a pure greyhound as a lurcher? And how did it turn out.

    I have a 243 and a 270, use the 243 for most of my stalking, have shot everything with it muntjac to reds and all have dropped with a well placed shot. The 270 is a different beast, yes it has more recoil but it also has much more knock down power, and on longer range stuff, stags in forestry at 200m plus close to last light I would always take my 270. I have never found mine too much to shoot and in my experience (sold my 308) to buy the 270 no noticible difference, also I have used it with very good effect on driven boar. Personally, I think if you get a rifle that fits you properly recoil i

    I would be grateful to know if anyone has actual experience of this type of mating and if they had any whelping issues. thanks.

    What do people prefer a to run their dogs with, a narrow LED type beam with little light spill or a conventional bulb type lamp with a more open beam?

    Season about to start, need a new lamp to run my dog with, what should I get?

    Some very interesting views. Thank you.

    Would like to here from the people who work pedigree whippets. I have listened to a few people and some say you need to get a working bred - bigger framed dog around the 21"-22" and 30+lbs and others have said that the lighter framed pedigree racing breds are quicker and better on the turn and make very good rabbiting dogs. I would be very interested to here any views from people that actually work either or both types or have seen them work. Many thanks.

    Which Club?

    jon15 posted a topic in Wildfowling

    Morning, I have just moved back to Suffolk and have had a couple of days wildfowling with friends in Kent and have been bitten by the bug, I have now decided to join a club and do some myself. I have been on the internet and have found two clubs both within an hour of me, The Kings Lynn's and west Norfolk Wildfowling association and the Fen wildfowling association, I appreciate I will have to be interviewed by the clubs as I do not yet know anyone in the area who is a wildfowler, but can anyone recommend either club. I am really looking for a friendly club with a few members who would be k

    Thank you guys, for all of your advise. I was out this morning and saw another young buck with a doe which took off into the rape, never to be seen again! Cover was so thick in all of the woodland belts and hedges i could have been ten feet from a buck and still not seen one, will wait until the rut now and hope to get some on the 2nd cut silage ground. Happy hunting.

    Have had a great start to the buck season, have had five so far but all have been young bucks. I know the land i stalk has big bucks on as i have seen a lot of them whilst out doe stalking. Can anyone shed any light on to the habits of the mature bucks? Happy hunting.

    I had my blaser 243 shortened to 20" for the ase mod, it works a treat for me.
  24. jon15
    2434me, it makes perfect sense to me, my sentiments exactly.

    Sounds like there is some mixed views on the cross, still like the sound of it though.
