straight2hand 304 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hopefully out tonight due to turn cloudy (it's not at the mo) and there is a stiff breeze in the air that's due to hang around! Just wondering if there are others in my position with dogs's ready for there first big season? I know a few fellas on hear have had successful nights at the start of the season but it seems to of been a slow start in general due to the weather. My bitch is as ready as she will be - pre-season at 17 months old, I think is prime time for a decents night lamping, she has had a couple of twos and 3's but only been very local 1 hour walks in shite conditions for just over the last month or so but need some weather so I can start testing her. I hope this weather comes in! ATB S2H 2 Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 I'm in the same boat mate. Got a 17 month old bitch here ready to start. She's had a few small nights last season but nothing much. It's just a waiting game for this decent weather to come in and give her some graft. Hope you get some luck tonight. I went out Monday night. It was blowing a gail, heavy cloud and pitch black, rain bouncing down. As soon as I got to where I was going the wind stopped, rain stopped and the cloud shifted revealing a starry sky. I couldn't believe it. Haha. We managed 3 hard won Bunnys and called it a night.

straight2hand 304 Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Nice one pal, I would say in tough conditions it's 3 bunnys well done and the dog must be sharp to catch on nights like that! Not sure about you but I find that happens a more than it should, I have headed out a few times and thought it would be great but a load of shite all of a sudden. The other one (I work nights) is clear skies when I'm off and then blowing a gale when I'm on shift! Im don't keep ferrets so sometimes I go out when its stacked against the dog....but she always seems to kill so lets hope tonight turns out a good one!! Quote Link to post

I know all about working nights mate and feel your pain. Haha. Sometimes I only get one night off every couple of weeks but you can guarantee it will be still and clear skies. I never get a night off when it's blowing a Gail. Lol 1 Quote Link to post

I have seen fields alive in crap conditions and empty when its bang on sometimes I'm just scratching my head. Quote Link to post
