white fox Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Good luck! Here are a couple of tips: Make your heading relevant to your post, there is a place for a sub-heading if it helps. Don't use all capitals Put your location in your profile Work out for yourself why we use a lamp WF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 shadowman, your comment about coming back with a pheasant, did suggest that you had shot it by lamplight. Thats why you got a reaction. Around full moon and clear frosty nights are not best for lamping, in fact you need the opposite conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old rooster Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 shadowman, your comment about coming back with a pheasant, did suggest that you had shot it by lamplight.Thats why you got a reaction. Around full moon and clear frosty nights are not best for lamping, in fact you need the opposite conditions. You don't need a lamp to shoot pheasants at night with this moon surely !!! Black night with a bit of breeze for good lamping, don't start too early and forget it when its frosty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowman Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 i am not that dumb! like i said i put the lamp away. the reason for my post is any TIPS on how to get up close in the frost or to sry my hides up! i had a walk arround my shoot a few hours ago and took 11!!.. I found on with Mixi, i walked up2 a bit of woodland and one darted from under a branch i was sat on, walking across the middle of my shoot (about a 1km walk) i thought i was about to stand on a wasp/bees nest so i stoped and had closr look, as i went to boot it the thing moved, it was a rabbit crouched in the midd of the field under the grass, obv it ran off like a bat out of hell. white fox Good luck!Here are a couple of tips: Make your heading relevant to your post, there is a place for a sub-heading if it helps.

Teal Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Shadowman I know you are only a young chap, but I suggest you don't write a book on "how to win friends and influence people". You certainly have brushed people up the wrong way in this topic, and I for one can't be bothered to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kip270 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Hawkeye has said it Shadowman, all of us on this forum look after each other and we accept certain criticism, but to insult us is a different matter, Fieldsports can do without people like you, that's why we get a bad name in the press because of mindless twits, who shoot off their mouth before the brain is in gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 that's why we get a bad name in the press because of mindless twits, who shoot off their mouth before the brain is in gear & shoot rabbits @ 60 yards with an air rifle Tam.
