I dont see him chasin deer for a half hour, I said he was on a run for a half hour, I see the deer, I see the dog chase the deer, I see the deer power away from the dog, I see my dog come back 30 to 40 minutes later completely screwed(5 minutes later though he is up and hunting again), also its moorland with coniferous woodland so I see the deer fairly close up at times so I often see the first couple of minutes, why so sceptical mate? I never made any claims for the dog, if u dont like it dont post or complain to admin, otherwise you come across as a bit of a turd.
