Ray Mears 272 Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 have to be lamping for me simply because i wouldent go take my chances going there in the day Quote Link to post
squirreltail 15 Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I agree with SJM. I dont believe that lamping a hare takes an athlete of a dog.It does take one though to catch a january hare.especially when its uphill on flinty ground.anyone who has ever seen a course on the hares own ground, in january in early morning, and watched it run and turn and twist, well it dont run to be accurate they jump, and uphill on flint and watched a dog that follows those moves and beats it cant fail to be utterly amazed at the whole unbelievable spectacle.the hares feet dont get ripped by the razor flints but the dogs do,and he dont even feel it,lots got away but when it didnt wow.And they shoot them in their thousands dont they beggars belief.

Rabbithunter 456 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Lamped them. And whoever says they are easy, hasnt seen what i have I've only ever took about 30 in a season, but wasn't really into them in a big way, biggest bag i took was 7 in one night. and ran at least double that number.

And yes I did lamp them before the ban but if your out to see the dog work and not just for the kill it has to be day time coursing every time. Quote Link to post
