4X4 Lamping

[Rabbithunter 456]

Is there any advantages/disadvantages of lamping out a 4x4?

 

Is it true that lads throw the dogs out the windows/doors whilst at speed in pursuit of their quarry?

 

Is it lazyness or are these lads seeing more rabbits than the lads who walk?

 

just curious

What you mean apart from pissing off the landowners and running the dogs over?

 

Prefer to walk and watch the wildlife.

Lol....at rabbit hunter,,,,you do plenty,,,so what's your views ?

 

I done a bit when I had a 4x4,,, and it's great on some land,,, but all the biggest bags of rabbits I have had ,,,or others I have herd about,,have been on foot,,,

 

But other lads that run other quarry,,,will say driving is king

Before the ban foxing from a 4x4 was a good advantage. Spot one then go a few fields on and call.

 

Or being on the back of the truck could spot the game without having to enter the field, depends on the land. Down here where we have small fields I found/find it a great advantage

LOL

 

I thought he was looking for a bite as well.

 

Can certainly cover more ground an so put more in front of the dogs,

also can keep stuff in the beam for longer.

 

Don't mind it occaisionally but walkings the real "traditional" way IMO

 

Cheers, D.

My lil whippet cross bitch ran into a landy at full speed. Landy was completely stationary but rabbit headed for it, she broke her neck in 3 places and her mouth was a right mess

nasty. I know it will probably occur. I heard of a lad round here that done it... the dog and quarry went through a gateway and he followed full bore, dog must of loat its game and was coming back when it met the 4track in the gateway

rabbits can be a real nuisance when near the motor

sorry, i missed this one.

 

that seems to be the general thought of the 4x4 lads.

Yeh rabbits can be tricky somtimes from the truck,,, going round a field clockwise,,,next to the hedge,,, they will often run underneath ,,,or round the back,,, it handy to have a spotlight on the back of the truck you can switch on ...
