    I did not post the video on the web, American hobbies did a special on the hobby and had it on a private website. It was voted the top video of the year so they posted it on YouTube without me knowing. As for the backhoe it was only brought in after I had broke through three times with the spade and the badger kept digging on with the (one dog) attached. The backhoe was nice because we back filled it right in and planted seed and two weeks later you could barley see where we dug. First and only time we had that luxury. I don't understand. If you broke through 3 times with a dog attached and

    McKay makes some good points about the size of the US and the vast distance that can be between people here that work terriers. He is correct that badger are not legal in every state. In fact sub species can and do very within some states. I have dug several with both black and white dogs in 3 different states, but never with a backhoe. Nebo, I do have a couple questions for you. Did you use the backhoe because the badger dug away from the dog? Did the dog have the badger in grips but you couldn't get to the dog? Did you use it so you could trench down ahead of the last locate you had on the d

    This one was a decent worker.

    I must be a little slow becouse you lost me with this one Mosby. I will agree there can be a difference in size preferred. Maybe some what dependent on type of Quarry being hunted? Other than that most everyone I have hunted with are striving for simular traits. Mosby, I stand corrected. When you said "terriers" I automaticly thought/assumed you were talking "earth dogs". I now remember the meaning of ASSUME, and no longer need to post on this thread.

    Good deal Stuntman. Would have liked to have been there myself for that one.

    Edwards-I first met you on the www, same as Mosby ...did I treat you unfair, or try to tell you how you should do things? Take care. Doc, I also met you first on the www also. Then a few times in person, and my answer to the above questions are NO and NO. Not taking sides or getting in the middle, just saying....................

    Mosby, in my opinion money and dogs don't mix so in turn I don't sell any terriers or stags. We just breed for ourselfs and only let a few pups out to hopefully like minded people. One hopes those people will have enough respect for the dogs to raise them right and report back (both good and bad) but sadly that is not allways the case. If it all works out passing a pup on to someone GREAT. If it does not work so good why worry about spilt milk. I don't understand what you are "protecting" or trying to protect? If a person is breeding for there self they have a choice to keep what they want an

    sounder79, coyotes over here hate fox and will hunt them down and kill them just becouse they can. Most places where you have alot of coyotes you don't have many fox and vise versa.

    Only Dan Edwards dresses like that over here!

    not sure if a description of how they fight would be a good post but they also have the ability to hold things with the front paws while trying to latch on but as was said earlier on this topic it is hard to hold something with a laky or a patterdale on ya throat. thanks to all that have written on this post it has been very interesting and would hope to see some more before the topic ends up on page 13. cheers and keep hunting I know I will HTS When you talk about them holding things, one thing to remember is that they will use those front feet/hands to grab a dog by the

    thankyou for a very honest discription of your quarry.. what line of terrier do you keep.. and are the coons best bayed. or does a strong hard bitten terrier work better on them .. out of intrest can anyone terrier kill a fall grown coon. single handed. if not do you have to lay the terrier up to recover .or are they ready to go pretty quick...... A strong mixer, as said, that will push to a stop and hold them is ideal. I've not seen hard dogs on them, but they are a tough animal and it's rare to find one dead to ground. It happens, but routinely, not to my knowledge. A terrier with a kna

    Most times a coon will only dish out what it gets. The problem I've found with a light mixer is that if they do not push hard enough the coon will just set in mid tube and not be pushed to a stop end, and I really don't like digging more holes than needed.
  21. Hoss1
    That looks to be a nice sized one. If you have a wild breeding population going on it will only be a matter of time before ya'll can find out what each is by getting the same dogs on both quarry.

    I also can respect you for being honest! The world is a funny place and it takes all kinds for it to turn. If we all can be honest with ourselfs and others these days............life can be good!

    "tsmcafee" don't take this as I am slagging you becouse I am not! Only trying to help out here and I did send you a PM also. I have to agree with AFT and wish you all the best with your bullrussels, but think you went into this project with your priority's in the wrong order. "I am interested in a good look as well as being game, able to hunt in some way." This sentence says alot and would meen a little more if it were reversed. Hunt drive/determination to locate, go to ground, get to the quarry and stay has to be number one IMO. As for the rest....color, style of work, size, ect. ect. tha

    Ratkilla, I wish things could have worked out so that I could have been there when you all made it to RC1's......I would have liked to have met you! RC1 called to tell me about your dig as soon as he got home, and I asked if it was like the one we had the weekend before..............he said "WORSE"! Glad to here you had some fun and maybe next trip we'll get to meet up. Kye, growing up hunting coon my whole life I've never thought much about them, but I sure do like reading your descriptions of them! Pretty much spot on. They can be like little kunfoo fighters. LOL

    I crossed a Bully with a Russell. Pups are only 9 wks old now. Both parents are very game. should be great hunters. http://shamrockbullterriers.com/BullJackHybrids.aspx When you say "should be great hunters" what are you referring to..........digging dogs or something else?
