Ton up


Recommended Posts

ok, i have to say sommat, FORGET THE LAMPING COMP :yes: , there will never be a big bag in the comp :no:

 

and theres a very good reason, "COMPATITION", even on rabbit infested land and a gale force wind, lads are going to take it slower its human nature to want to win :yes:

 

i judged a few heats last year , and was also running in it. i think me and marks heat had the largest bag 44 over 4 hours. on the same ground only a few weeks earlier we had 70 odd in the same time.

 

 

forget the lamp comp when compairing big bags ;) .

 

2 keen lads with fit dogs, that know there job, and two FIT lads with good weather and lots of rabbits is the only way, to get them bags

 

For the best part i agree with you Tomo, Fit keen lads with dogs to match and favourable weather conditions and rabbits in numbers is the only way to achieve the ton and that would be lamping from 9-10pm through till daybreak id say. As for the lamping comp last year when lamp and battery beat me 20-19 over three hours we were slipping on anything and everything and it paid off, great craic and a canny bag with some good runs and sport.

 

good craic, and good sport, and one for the pot, thats what it was supposed to be all about, enjoyment, a pleasure to be out and about, and seeing good dogs work, (((( this numbers game was not for me, only take what you need, but the computer hunter, he wants numbers, more and more, strip and kill

and leave the country bare, they are not happy with 6 or 7, they must have 60 or 70 kill kill kill, ((( man is his own worst enemy,

You confuse me at times Border Lad :tongue2: ..you say in the other "100 rabits a night possible" topic that rabbit numbers have never been better in your area yet here you say "they strip and kill and leave the country bare"? It's one or the other is it not? I am sure the youth of today are out there catching big numbers of rabbits,why?..fit,enthusiatic etc:..far too many who condone or say it can't be done,why,because they haven't got the dog with the minerals capable of it or just prefer to sit in front of the fire on the blackest,windiest,wet nights the winter has to throw at us on their pc's :whistling: .I have no qualms with the one for the pot enthusiast or the guy who lives & breathes the game in pursuit of big catches..each to their own i say,live and let live :victory: .All the best PP.
