Penda 3,367 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) It should be gone by the end of the week mate i dont like going out lamping when the moons high in the sky, lastnite by me werent a bad night because it was over cast abit wet and windy there the nights you want, ive been out on moon lite nights and had the best night ever if you are gona lamp on full moons stick down wind and to the edge of your field you might have a better result then if not just gate way lamp dont spoil good nights with crap nights Edited October 7, 2009 by Penda Quote Link to post

whin 463 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 dont lamp the moon much more a walk .dont like educating the beast s etc to much ,hit them hard on the [bANNED TEXT] nites , if i am desperate for a catch ill leash the dogs up and roadside as there no wind usaly with clear skies so , sometimes best to quick check ,if there eyes ,dog out drive in bush its all over quick , i used to lamp moons for phesis and good for fish but found my best nites when moon has gone or on the way back or if there a cloud to cover moon , diffrent ground and qaurry predicts the way you hunt Quote Link to post
