undisputed 1,664 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Always kept diaries ever since I've had dogs....the most reds I ever took in one season was a 100. Not all single handed and not always on the lamp. Tend to average 60 - 70 a season. Rabbits most in a season was 250. Hares were never high on the agenda only managed a few a season same with deer. The one thing I do know that when you hit hot spots on red they never lasted long and they tune into the lamp quickly. Never lamped from a van so can't comment on what difference that would make. It does sound exaggerated as taking that amount regularly would deff put a dent in any fox population Quote Link to post

watchman 256 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 threads like these make me wander if the people commenting have ever had a dog at all :laugh: just makes me laugh i asked what would be considered a good single handed dogs tally over one season i put 50 as a ball park figure to go on although never quite made the fifty myself suddenly lad comes out the woodwork claiming 350 with 4 dogs as i say bollox i just aint having it but then i could be wrong it is often known Quote Link to post

Romany 1,065 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Ive already posted that I kept records for not only my dogs, but the dogs of everyone Ive ever travelled with, lads still come to my place for copies of my records for their dogs...one guy who boasted of his dog from the past travelled mainly with me, as said his dog had killed over 100 hares..three of us went through all my books, and guess what, she killed 17..a hell of a way off 100..always noticed that when a dog dies its tallies are muliplied loads... 1 Quote Link to post
Guest born to run1083 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 don't normally keep tally's don't think there worth what there wrote on. all I do is keep count of what my dogs first few months of there working careers count is then I just don't bother. I do that so when I think they've caught enough rabs I move them on to the next step. that's all. interesting to hear other peoples views lol Quote Link to post
