NEWKID 26,211 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I'll tell you what reading back through this thread there's some thought process in the old lamping game now... Prefably wind In face, lamp on, spot bunny, slip dog, if you're getting fancy a bit of lamp rocking as bunny approaches hedge, catch/lose it... repeat... perhaps we've all started over thinking it a bit!!

Lol. But it suits me just fine as he’s only for fox. Hows your fox dog bred dogmandont??? Quote Link to post

Allan P 1,129 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I doesn’t really matter what we think or slip the dog on, at the end of the day ithe dog will decides. No training will make a difference and at the end of the day it is what it is. If the dogs not to your liking get rid or cull it if that’s your thing. Or suck it up and find something it can be useful at. Quote Link to post

two crows 3,342 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 some times when coursing (pre ban) you would sometimes slip on a hare close to cover if there was not much about and a good dog can often turn these into a decent course, but not if you or the dog don't try, there are some very clever dogs in the coursing game who wont leave anything, so while I know what people are saying I still think picking runs is a weakness in a dog, stalking on the other hand to within range and then lounching the attack very clever in my eyes, I had a pure saluki once that used to run up wide in the dark when lamping and pop in behind the rabbit a very clever dog he was, and he would all ways give it a go. 3 Quote Link to post
two crows 3,342 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 I also had a bitch that used to catch loads in the hedge when lamping, if I held the lamp on the spot for a few seconds where the rabbit went in she would stick her head in and pull it out. 1 Quote Link to post
Phil Lloyd 10,736 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Some interesting and thought-provoking comments... The most useful work dogs that I have owned, all had one thing in common,..they were adaptable... Situations on the hunting field vary immensely, and a canny predator will use everything to his advantage, to secure a victory... 2 Quote Link to post
