tsteve9999 456 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Third time out on the lamp this season and what a waste of feckin time again. At 7.00 it was blowing a gale and raining, by 10.30 when I got out it was flat calm and not a cloud in the sky. I got one run and could have left the lamp off, I could see the dog 50 yards away without it. What with that and the noise made walking stubbles I think I'm going to leave it till the ploughs been out. My permissions haven't got huge numbers of rabbits and it's soul destroting walking for an hour or more and seing nowt. Quote Link to post

birddog 1,354 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 if possible when the weather changes and its no good for lamping i'd rather get up for a dawn mooch or hour or two with the ferrets than help educate green bunnies they become lampshy fairly quick Quote Link to post
Guest long-tail Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 took a walk out myself very little about but got a run for the young bitch, first rabbit on the lamp so more than happy and if nothing else put a few more miles in her legs for later in the season theres a plus to everything the way i see it 1 Quote Link to post

Any night out with the dogs is better then a night in front of the telly, regardless of the bag 5 Quote Link to post
tsteve9999 456 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm never going to catch loads off the land I run, but it would be nice to see the odd one occasionally You're all right though, it is better than sitting at home. I'd got me arse in me hand last night when I got back, back to normal now, Quote Link to post
