    You been doing a bit of end of season doubling up?
  2. Deerhunter1
    Was a good thread shame it’s slowed down

    I’m no coursing expert but land I saw round the Humber was much bigger, flatter & not covered in stone so it would be a no brainer for me where I’d rather run. Very strong hares as well

    Some terrible stoney land round malton & yorkshire wolds, couldn’t pay me to run it. Especially not when there’s such good land around both sides of the Humber

    I’m not too clued up on bull crosses but a mate of mine had a dog out of that Remus years back, I never saw it run be he spoke highly of it. He wasn’t the type to lie about dogs either so it must’ve been a decent thing

    Think you’ve misunderstood, nothing easy about taking fallow or reds. Red stags aren’t a quarry for 1 dog regardless of where in the UK they are, but red hinds and fallow bucks can be done with 1 dog. Needs to be a very good dog but it can be done.

    I give up you’re boring me now, can’t see the sense in debating with someone who’s so serious about deer they keep pure Salukis
  8. Deerhunter1
    A better question would be how many deer has someone taken in total? Because a person can run 2 or 3 a year for 30 years and still no very little about them
  9. Deerhunter1
    Well I have had both so thought I was in a position to compare them but obviously not, a stranger on the internet has told me I’m wrong so I must be

    English reds are bigger than Scottish reds, that’s a fact. But Scottish reds are bigger than English fallow, when it was legal to do so I’ve had both species north & south of the border. Had fallow in midlands and southern English counties, you might get the odd mature fallow buck that’s bigger than a Scottish red hind but in general Scottish reds are considerably bigger than English fallow. And anyone that’s done any amount of deer knows those Salukis you keep are no real threat to either species bar the odd weak fallow or fence bouncer
  11. Deerhunter1
    English fallow are definitely not bigger than Scottish reds
  12. Deerhunter1
    Red stags would always want doubled on if you value your dogs life, red hinds and fallow bucks however can & have been done with single dogs, so if people choose to double on them that’s their choice but it doesn’t need to be done

    There’s not many out there that’ll gift pups, when there’s a litter on the ground it’s amazing how quickly greed can get the better of people. Unless you’ve seen parents run you really don’t know what you’re getting so I think £500 is more than enough to spend on such a gamble

    Wallabies are fairly slow but the kangaroos are a lot bigger so I bet they’re not that slow
  15. Deerhunter1
    Thats the way I’d look at it, but it would seem we are both wrong. Even when you’ve travelled thousands of miles to run a particular quarry, and you’re literally seconds away from getting a chance at one, the daytime hare should take priority if it appears at any time. You’re never too old to learn
  16. Deerhunter1
    Daytime hares aren’t always belting courses, ive seen some absolutely useless dogs kill one from time to time. The attraction of kangaroos would be running a different quarry in a different country, not just the same old thing over and over again, but if variety isn’t your thing that’s fair enough.
  17. Deerhunter1
    If I was beating a plantation out for kangaroos I definitely wouldn’t be slipping on hares either
  18. Deerhunter1
    I don't lamp much at all these days so when I do I don’t really bother with hares. I don’t eat them and bitch is funny with them too she’ll eat anything but won’t touch a hare so don’t see the point in killing them quick on the lamp if I don’t even use them
  19. Deerhunter1
    No I wasn’t meaning you I mean people I know, but you’ve just said it yourself a handful a season so you do lamp hares then? Don’t know why coursing men get so uptight about it even the ones that say they’re strongly against it still do it, don’t see why it’s such a big deal
  20. Deerhunter1
    You’re right there, I’ve nothing against it people can run whatever they want with their own dogs but I know lads that’ll slag people off for lamping hares then go do it themselves with daytime bred dogs
  21. Deerhunter1
    Not really, saw a good few lurchers with bull blood in the mix but not many straight bull x greyhounds
  22. Deerhunter1
    I’ve never ran a bull cross so I wouldn’t know
  23. Deerhunter1
    If you think you have to double up to take big game then you’ve just seen poor dogs
  24. Deerhunter1
    I’m at the stage now I don’t have any real interest in catching numbers, I’ve never been one of the types that places numbers above all else but these days especially I’d rather catch 1 or 2 where the odds were stacked in the quarry’s favour so you know the dogs really had to do well to catch it
  25. Deerhunter1
    If you plan on running daytime the saluki blood will bring a lot to the table, as long as it’s the right saluki blood
