Black neck 17,132 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Some ground local to me never seem to do well on the lamp it's grass but cropped really short also it's one big hill when the rabbits get going downhill there like rockets even the young dog can't live with them , if anyone else had this pls reply so I can feel better about mesen and stop crying Quote Link to post
ginger beard 4,653 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Ive got the same problem and so have others that ive taken there.i dont have the excuse of being hilly either,its on the levels.straight line and even my mates whippety thing cant catch them. Some rabbits run up and down the hedge,these are suicidal and dont slow down and head first through it. 1 Quote Link to post

Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 The most difficult place we used to find to catch rabbits on the lamp was golf courses, they were like shit off a stick! 1 Quote Link to post

leegreen 2,244 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Golf courses, smooth well drained, usually firm, slippery, with bunkers and a few nicely placed trees about. Dangerous? Very. 1 Quote Link to post
