Str 793 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I used to lamp for the laugh when I had a couple of Lucas terriers,the first night we caught 3 rabbits out of 5 runs it was begginers luck,they were most successful at catching them in the hedges while the lamp was still on the rabbits,dogs loved it I think I might give it another go. 4 Quote Link to post

Foxpack 2 7,848 Posted December 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Just to clear the air I don't run a full pack at night chasing long ears ,I check mole traps in dark and sometimes a hare lifts and my 2 dogs are away for a stretch out ,plus our pack which is 7 strong are all owned by lads who come ,I'm only the pack leader on Sundays, well that's cleared up Quote Link to post

You would struggle to get a decent Lucas now as most are pets which is a real shame as they are a great knock about terrier,mine did everything and more than you would normally expect a terrier to do. 8 3 Quote Link to post
Str 793 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Had ago at lamping tonight, wrong night really moonlit but it was just for a laugh,first rabbit clamped down nicely I was getting abit giddy, dogs couldn’t see until it ran, terrier was after it as fast has his little legs would carry him but dozie spaniel had been looking at me and lamp instead of were he was going so he had temporarily blinded himself the slack twat, next rabbit I picked terrier up so he had a better view which worked he ran straight at it but it was up and away.we had another run but now we’re near, I managed to squeak a fox upto 50 yards but it wouldn’t sit still for it’s picture.dogs were good at recalling them .good night enjoyed it, I also realised tonight my deben lamp must be over 30 years old but it’s had new reflecter switches etc over the years.
