reddawn 2,173 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 gods honest truth..... how many have kicked a hare as it run past em on the lamp??? Quote Link to post
chartpolski 20,409 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Some hares are easy at night, but by no means all of them ! Of course hares are easier in the lamp than daytime; anyone who says different obviously hasn't ran them , either day or night !! I can't see how anyone who has ran hares could think any different !!

nikon 44 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Lamping Hares?.Best left to the daytime in my opinion.True test of a Lurcher your correct there about daytime hares being the best test of a dog but what about us lot who do not keep saluki crosses and walk feilds for them during the daytime what about lamping dogs should you not slip your dog on a hare on the lamp because its not a true test for your dog. i bet you have slipped your dog on a hare on a plough feild were the hare cannot run its best but somehow it is ok because its "daytime" it all depends on the dogs you run if you had a pure whippet or a half cross collie are they going to catch a daytime hare with any consistance? i think lamping hares would be spot for that. just because there lamped dont mean they just roll over and die i have seen quite a few 5 min courses on the lamp and some that of ended quicker than other just like daytime. they are mostly going to be a fractionly easier because its dark and the fact there is a dazzler in there face but as a said they dont just roll over and die... Mate; if you have seen "quite a few 5 min courses on the lamp", then I suggest you look at your watch for 5 minutes and see how long that actualy is.....or get better dogs ! Cheers. what if your dogs had a hard night before it meets its first hare are they easy then charts?do you slip do you not , knowing your dog might get a tanking or not ? ive seen some good runs at night have you? I've never seen a dog run a hare for five minutes on the lamp !! Five minutes would most certainly be considered a "grueller" during the day ! If a dog runs a hare for five minutes on the lamp, it should not be considered a lamping dog. If you think it's OK to run a hare for five minutes on the lamp, well.............. Cheers. 5 mins i havnt eiether but i have seen some good dogs beaten in the night on large fields , have you? Quote Link to post

morton 5,367 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Ive run day and night,daytime challenges good dogs and makes average dogs look inferior,nightime makes an average dog look like a decent daytime jukel,gives the owner a false sense of what their mutt is capable of.I respect the challenge a good daytime hare offers a mutt that a rabbit never will.Some respect the prowess of the quarry more than the capability of their jukels,thus a dog that finally comes to terms with a worthwhile daylight gallop deserves the plaudits that an inferior dog can only achieve by night and glare.You either respect the chase and challenge or see it as just another chase and kill,its in the mindset of the individual and what they perceive to be a sporting challenge. 1 Quote Link to post
