Dougy Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I noticed some felled trees on one of my permisions so, with the cold months on the way i thought i'de check with the farmer before i started logging a few, "no problem you can take what you want" cheers thanks for that "and oh by the way had the fox about again about 22.30" right i said i will pop round later. So because of the problem with glare of the mod i enticed the other 1/2 out for a tad of fresh air. Oh!! go on then she said,. ( she dont mind coming out really). Mrs dougy was given the lamp, she is improving since she's realised now that fox's dont live in trees or fly any way into the field and out with the fox call. Its an old phone with some calls downloaded from tinternet, taped onto a pole then left to do what it does best in the middle of the field. within 10 minutes of getting back to mrs dougy and the lamp, first one was put down from just over 100yds. then after munching on a wagon wheel (the small ones ) another lamp along the hedge and another one coming onto the call. This one about 60yds. Well done to Mrs dougy ,I let her have a swig of pedi after shes learning pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuck1 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Wagon wheel! Now there's a lamping snack! Does anyone else think they've got smaller over the years though, when I was a kid I remember they were massive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavman Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 well done. you can fix the glare of the scope mounted lamp by adding a sun extension or two, I have one fitted to end of my S&B and an additional soft tube whilst I wait for Mung to post the other hard one , If you can extend the tube past the objective lens (many have a thread cut for the job) it will stop the glare, you have to play wih it a bit but I can run my Lightforce 170 at full power if required with no glare back and shoot solo with no problem if required.

Thats all well and good but that means i go on my own, does'nt it ? so who will carry the battery, flask and who will bring the fox's and rabbits back, oh! i nearly forgot and the wagon wheels i will have to carry that lot on a serious note though its far easier with another pair of hands, and the sunshade doesn't always work that well, small bit of tape is better.
