Just something that crossed my mind do you guy's have any preference to what time of the Morning/ Evening you go out with you BOP and hunt. Was wondering if you had better results from a early morning or late evening times. Also do any Falconers on here actually go out at nite lamping with there BOP? I can imagine someone that knows what there doing nite lamping have more success than say guys that go out in the morning or evening due to the fact you get more bunnies out at nite and they tend to sit further out in the field. Also from my shooting nites when i use to have permission off a local Donkey Sanctuary i did notice even though they knew i was present they would bolt for cover but after about 5-10 Min's waiting they would reappear, Where as in daylight i have found that does not happen. They go to ground and stay there i know that's why you flush them out with ferrets. So do you think your chances of nailing bunnies at nite with lamp would be more greater than lets say early morning or late evening. I also appreciate you probably would not witness as much of the flight as if it was daylight so does that take the buzz out of it ? I don't know just another one of my thoughts..

Diurnal BOP will normally hunt more aggressivly while flying at dusk as they begin to doubt if they are going to feed that day
