    You can't beat the feeling. I was lucky my pup caught on his 2nd run and should have had the first (my fault), he's only been out once since then (first week of Jan) and got about 8 runs, only because I knew he was capable and I wanted to finish on a high, (which he did). Take him out now on nights which favour the dog because now he's got his first catch and his confidence you just need to build on it. thanks mate i think he would of probably caught sooner but until i got tyke i had never lamped before and probably wasnt giving him the best of chances atb matt

    he finally caught 1 took him out tonight he had 3 runs the first went on for ages round a bloody tennis court no luck the second was on a wheat field the rabbit dropped into a ditch i lost sight of tyke only for him to reappear in the rough grassy paddock i put the lamp on him and he was running 1 it got a way but as he came back to me another got up it was quite along run and a couple of times i thought he lost it it eventually hit a hedge and tyke wnet in after it and it was game over im buzzing thanks everyone its been brilliant to come on here find out about lurchers get one and train it

    I coursed with them, but the number of hares was going down every year. why is that bud ? what were they lke to run ?do you think the levels compare to the fens?

    nice one mate just wish i had been able to go along amybe one day if a miracle happens atb matt

    im just wondering does anyone know if anyone used to course on the somerset levels pre ban aand what it was like i think the levels are about the only place you can see a hare in somerset, the levels are the biggest land we have in somerset similiar to the fens it would be good to hear from anyone who has had experience on them

    I have just started lamping with my 10mth old bullx and hes picked everything up looing down the beam running the rabbit and coming back when whistled the only problem is hes not yet caught anything although last night he put in a strike and the rabbit jumped straight up in the air which confused him and tonight he put in another strike and i was sure he had the rabbit but it managed to get free and dissappear into the grass should i continue taking him out each night giving him 3 or 4 runs or give him a break as i dont want him to lose confidence i really feel sorry for him as he really trys
