Quick lamp last night

[Samrog 389]

Out for an hour last night. Not much about at all maybe some fireworks from Halloween I wasn’t aware of scared most things inside normally teeming with rabbits. 
In the end managed to run 2 rabbits and killed one. First time out on the lamp this season and as usual when we first start he’s pulling at the slip far too eager and it’s fkn annoying so first thing give him 150 yard slip on long ears and a minute and half later after going over a brow he comes back empty handed hed of nailed it if stayed in the beam… he’s switch on then after a good run and can lamp him off the slip and stay by my side till I give him the word to get on. All in all just nice to be out there not much wind bit of drizzle but I remembered how much I enjoy it! Few pics taken off videos so bit crap. 
A lot of my perm is recently cut maize so it’s a bit baron at the moment will probably leave it a month and go them spots again hopefully more out in the open.  
cheers.

Thanks Bird. Yeah I can’t be doing with the pulling he pull me arms off first 10 mins  he usually miss the first rabbit because he steams in too fast too keen. Usually spot on after that but perfect if I can give him a good run to settle him down a bit. He’s 3 early next year and he’s a bedlington lurcher. Works out about  1/2 grey, 3/8 terrier beddy with drop lakey mix and 1/8th whippet and about 24inch.

It's not about how many you catch but how you go about doing what you do and sometimes it's just good to be out..

Nice looking dog..
