A few trips lately mate and a few rabbiting jobs at work

just read the topic about HID lamp and some the post on it about keeping lamp on to open gates and so on

 

so ill tell you some the things i do while lamping

 

1 keep tight to the hedge so i place myself between the feeding rabbits and there warren

 

2 when i can i walk into the wind

 

3 if the dog misses the lamp goes of on till he is firmly in slip again

 

4 if the dog catches the lamp goes of till the dog retrives quarry and is firmly on slip

 

5 if im getting over fences or threw gates the lamp remains of i use my own eye sight

 

this is just some the things i do they work well for me

 

some the thing ive seen others the years witch i belive is not good fieldcraft

 

1 people lamping the dog not the quarry

 

2 lamp on every 2 seconds

 

3 walking right threw the middle of the field

 

4 once the dog misses the lamp goes on to another rabbit

 

5 when the dog makes a catch the lamp stays on the dog

 

6 lamp on getting over gates fences and going over very wet ground

 

im no expert but surely the so whats your views on the rights and wrongs of lamping

 

all the best robert

 

in a perfect world,,,,,,but evry night is difrent,,, evry place is difrent,,,,each quarry is diffrent,,,, lamping rabbits on the dales , when there's alot,, my lamp stays on alot,,it also genraly stays on when they miss a rabbit,,, as very often theres another making a bid for freedom,,,, so its pointless getting the dog back first... also on that land its so humpy and bumpy and so dark ,, you would be on your arse evry min.....not only that theres often rabbits sat over the next bump

 

then theres diffrent quarry,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Thinks thats it mate.... most know how it should be done, but in pratice you have to adapt..... for gates etc I think a little head torch is best.....

Its not the current weather that is the problem mate. its the weather we've had, that means the grass is still too high to lamp a dog on.....rubbish!!!!

my best lamp dog

[Penda 3,355]

i lamp the same way as you milliken dont really go into woods dont like to wake the old pheasant and mag pies up and the poxy woood pigeons i stick to the edge of the wood,i flick the lamp off but if theres a squotter ive missed when the dogs on its way back i will lamp it if not the dog ends up finding it on return if you know what i mean,my old bullx bitch used to have 3 or for off 1 slip theres some lads off this site who have saw her do it so i think sometimes it depends on the dog and the owner and situation I used to alot of gateway lamping and subaru lamping with me pals years ago had some good times with that but i think the best way is to keep it so know one knows youve even been there
