decoying mad Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Does any 1 bother going out on a full moon? ive done it a few times when im bored and theres a strong wind or if ive been asked to shift the hares off the golf course i would use the moon to silhouette them but ive never had more than a couple of rabbits when theres a strong moon. So does any 1 have any good bags and if so on what quarry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 In my experience is it fairly hopeless for lamping rabbits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albob Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 been out quite a lot on full moons,using the hmr and and it still does amaze me how many i did shoot.they still have to feed and will come out. as i shoot at distance,they think they are safe because they can spot you. saves my lamp battery though.. al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 It's ok for fox.As long as you don't stand out like a sore thumb,Charlie still has to come out to feed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Agree with bulletboy. I've had a few foxes, lamping on a full moon. Keep in the shadows, and you should be okay. I'm speaking of foxing though, not rabbiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 We had 2 foxes last time we went out on a full moon, plus a couple of rabbits. Think its better for the foxes, maybe they can see the rabbits easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I don't see this as a Full Moon issue particularly, there are lots of other factors in shooting, certainly this is one, but it is how you approach the situation. How far either side of the moon do you stop, there are always issues effecting shooting, crunchy frosts, too hot, long grass, country walkers, irate neighbours, wind, rain, etc, etc, etc, I'm not sure if I can ever remember a "perfect day" :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Personally I would never bother lamping while there is a full moon. The only thing in my opinion worse than lamping during the full moon is when there's no wind and a heavy frost as well! Just a thought - It could pay off if you use NV I surpose!
