Guest born to run1083 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 yep always have ,the above mentioned is the norm for me Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I do. The type of land I lamp on is small fields, and I find it causes the rabbits to loose their well used runs back to safety. Keeping the rabbit in the field is half the battle when they're never far from the hedge IMO. Quote Link to post

long dogs 580 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 always done it,always find it helps to keep the bunny or long ears in the field insted of bolting straight into cover Quote Link to post
bird 10,014 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 only do it with young dogs, as when they are on 3-4th season they will take them any way in any form. Sometimes it will slow the rabbit and somtimes it dont, better on a real dark+windy night Quote Link to post

wexford Pa 84 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 yea i do it if a rabbit is heading for the ditch shake the lamp it takes em off the ditch n they turn back out. Another one i use is if u spot a rabbit runnin before u slip ur dog, put beam in front of his path he sometimes stop n squat 1 Quote Link to post

Sexy_Shot 5 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Yeah its a method me and my brothers use Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,217 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Aye, it makes it more difficult for the rabbit to judge the jump through the fencing when running, so they often turn. At least that's my take. Quote Link to post
