why would you want to go out tonight when theres a full moon squelching through the mud and be seen a mile away

cos if the wind is blowing hard enough towards you, the rabbits don't know you're there. i walked to within 10 feet of one a couple of days ago, a gale blowing in my face. the rabbit couldn't smell me, and it didn't move til i practically trod on it.

unfortunately my dog was on the other side of the field, behind the rabbits, and having one of his selectively deaf moments....

so hy was you lamping other rabbits when your dog was off the lead he was hunting and running about you are obviously new to the game and i was only trying to advise you you can have the best lamping dog in the world but you will not catch rabbits in quantity when the moon is up you catch the odd one but thats no good to me if your dog do miss you want to keep the lamp off till he comes back if he dont come straight back. well another thing if you didnt take him out on full moon nights he wouldnt miss so many

I try not to bother on nights with full moons. It just makes the bunnies wiser and harder to catch for the next time and we need all the help we can get

Can't see the point in dragging the dogs out when its blowing a gale and pouring, when the other 29 nights of the month might be better, ive found that when its as bad as it was last night the bunnies tend to stay underground anyway. But if your not lucky enough to pick and choose the nights you get out due to shifts etc, then you just have to go for it and hope for the best

we were out for exercise during daylight, not out lamping for rabbits. sorry if i didn't make that clear in my post. a rabbit popped out of its burrow, trotted off, and then just sat there til i practically trod on it. dog was off the lead for a good runaround. i didn't expect any rabbits to be about that time of day (half past 1 in the afternoon), they usually aren't on that field at that time.

 

i can assure you mate, i'm certainly not new to the game. who says my dog "misses so many"? certainly not i. you're making a hell of a lot of assumptions! have you ever seen me post anything about his capabilities or shortcomings in the rabbit-catching department? no. it's just not something i do. other people do, fair play to them, it's their choice. it's just how i was brought up. those who have seen him work (and been round to dinner!) know what he can do. i don't feel the need to go shouting my mouth off about how fantastic my dog is. i'm not saying he is anyway. my father never boasted about what his best lurcher could do, but by word of mouth, everyone knew what that old hound was capable of. and we still had a constant stream of thieving pikeys in our yard trying to steal him. i was always taught to keep quiet about what a dog can do. it's enough for you to know yourself. he does what i require of him, and then some.

 

and you seem to be getting me confused with Roxy!

put your claws away they were only trying to educate you they weren't to no that you already no it all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good lord, is anyone actually reading the first post, or any of the topic properly? brookie was replying to me as if i made the first post. i didn't. and i'm not saying i know it all.

 

ALL i was saying is that i walked up to a rabbit with a gale blowing in my face at half past 1 in the afternoon, and could have trod on the daft thing before it moved!

 

i'm not the one who needed the "educating" as you put it, Roxy made the original post, i didn't require i blasting from someone who can't tell the difference between "ROXY" and "Ossie". Brookie wasn't trying to educate me. brookie was trying to educate f**k-knows-who.

 

and i'm not saying ROXY needs educating.

 

and commiserations ROXY, i hope your dogs toe gets better soon!

calm down i was only saying they were only trying to help you !!!!!!!!! somebody get out of bed the wrong side this morning

[Guest ROXY]

the crops are getting up the clocks are going forward the seasons coming to an end and last night it was gale force winds by me with a lot of cloud cover, if my dog wasw fit i would have been out , as for educating the rabbits so fuc in what

[Ossie 11]

i am calm. practically horizontal, me! :drag: he was just making wild assumptions about me based on a couple of lines i wrote, and with absolutely no grounding in my post, and that's not on. i wasn't the one hoping to go lamping on a windy night, i didn't need the help, or the defamation of character. i was just saying i coulda kicked a rabbit into the middle of next week in broad daylight a couple of days ago! if it's windy enough, and you're downwind of a rabbit, they just see this thing walking towards them, they don't get the whole package, smell & all, and more than likely they'll act thick as Jade Goody, and just sit there looking stupid! :wacko: just bugs me when people go off on one, and then hover about watching the fallout (brookie was back on the topic after i had posted, but hasn't posted since... ).

 

anyways. end of. "stick", "of", "end", "wrong". brookie, rearrange into a meaningful phrase.

 

and roxy, yer right, season is almost over, you gotta take what hunting you can get! although one advantage of the crops getting up a bit, is that it slows the rabbits right down... which is damn handy when you're just starting a young dog, or need an easy meal. top tip from a mate of mine, a handy bit of advice when i was just getting Gyp started.
