Dave-G Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Little moonlight to light you up. No fog or mist to reflect light back into the scope, and a slight breeze to cover sound of your footsteps - though that will be near impossible if you are doing it on any remaining stubble.

sharpshot Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 any night is a good night for lamping unless your a fair weather shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) I prefere a bit of cloud cover, little or no moon light and a bit of a breeze. I never bother if it's foggy or drizzling! Edited September 23, 2009 by Frenchieboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntercarbine Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 not last night. too clear, and no wind. Ideally mate you want it as dark as possible, with a bit of a breeze or even a couple of showers, it all helps your stealthyness. good luck last night was pants for lamping :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Cloud cover. If windy check out the dips. Stick to either walking the hedgerow to keep you shape off the skyline or charge around in a noisy 4x4. Both methods work. The rabbits know your comeing. How you do it depends on if they think you'r a threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

townsend819 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hmm any night you are free and not pushed for time seems to help, i went out on a full moon and still night and got nine, but friday went out and got two, much darker due to cloud but still. still, any opportunity comes to mind, just depends on the night. either way I thouroughly enjoyed both nights, regardless, sometimes its not about the big bags but the expierience, on friday, we only got 2 but there was some ******* challenging shots pursued due to dips in ground etc. Lots of 'close but no cigar' happenings. Just enjoy it!!!! is my advice, Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog546 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 If you approach it right any weather is ok,misty wet evenings you'll probably see more rabbits than any other time they seem to be more relaxed,I have had superb nights on the foxes with a thick frost and a full moon when its been like walking around in the daytime,still nights have also been good but when you call foxes do it so quitely you think they'll never hear and watch the results. But you will also get the night when you venture out and have that strange feeling after searching for ages that you are wasting your time,these things can only be learnt and not taught. So go when you can and take in all you can about the conditions and how it effects your permissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
