    I guess it's a US thing. "Switching teams" is referring to turning to the "gay" side. I'm a happily married woman, I was just making fun of the comment earlier. Sometimes things don't come out the same, you are right, probably lost in translation.

    I've paid good money for dogs, but the free ones have been my best workers. In the US, I think $400 - 500 is fair asking for a GOOD working dog from proven working stock. Believe me though, you won't believe the prices some kennels in the US ask for their dogs. It's insane. But when you have friends that hunt, we tend to make good deals between us and share the wealth

    Nice pics. We've seen beaver by a pond on some property we hunt. We keep clear of those big dens with our dogs

    Hi all, I've been posting some hunting stories, thought I'd finally post an intro I am from Missouri and have kept russells since 98, I currently have 4. Although the US is a sprawling place from coast to coast, I am lucky to have about a dozen friends that live from 30 minutes to 4 hours from me and we hunt about 2-3 times a month during our seasons that run from May - Feb. The area I live in is perfect for digging and quarry. Our digs average around 3 ft, but can vary from 2-8 ft. We hunt Groundhog, raccoons, opossums and the occassional fox. We kill every skunk we can Our sette

    Our first stop was at an old farm with a big barn that had just been purchased for a new development. The barn was scheduled to be torn down . We let my friend's bitch out first, since she hadn't been out in a while. At 10 yrs old she's still ready to go. The first outbuilding she is in baying in no time. We remove all the old lumber and junk and begin digging. We open to her: While she's working, the hog is digging away straight up next to the hole we dug and almost ends up in our laps. They dig away pretty fast. We were about to drop another hole in front o

    We're looking forward to your company again soon. I'm getting earplugs to use when Kye comes around Make sure he's ready to dig this time He's quite a brave little terrier for a young'un. He's seen another possum since and wanted to latch on. I didn't want him getting hurt at a young age, so I figured he had enough until this May. Talk soon, Wooly

    Hi all, This was taken when my 4 mo old pup had his first look at a possum last summer. I'll be starting him this upcoming season, we'll see how he does. http://media.putfile.com/Film-of-tyke-and-possum-11-22-05 Wooly

    Most of our quarry, opossums, raccoons, fox, porcupine, skunk, take up residence in groundhog burrows. Fox will excavate the hogs home to make a little larger. Raccoon live up in hollow trees also. Raccoons are very formidable quarry, I've seen them give a very good fight when confronted. If a dog goes in hard, you are going to hear alot of action. And yes, they will lock on. Seen it alot. If the dog is more of a bayer, the raccoons will usually stay in place until dug to. Raccoons don't dig away unlike the groundhogs. Depends on the pressure the dogs want to put on. Above ground

    Hogs can bolt away quickly. Some folks take lurchers along just for that reason. But they will easily slip away into their next den given the chance. We've had a hog get out of the snare and let the russell go to catch it, which worked too. They're not as fast as a rabbit,

    We had a couple of nice days out with great weather. We had the pleasure of meeting some of our new fans at the pumpkin farm We found alot of fresh dug settes but didn't get into alot of action, Twig found and worked a groundhog, here's a hog nose, And here's Twig's nose. Don't let the picture fool you, Twig had a great time! The next day we walk quite a way before we found a ridge that sat high above a river that was pretty active. It was a flood plain, and the dirt was very soft. My friend's bitch found a groundhog here, look all that fresh

    Some pictures of our other quarry- how's this?
  15. woolbr8stl
    Someone asked for other quarry pics, well here's a day. Out with a couple of friends a few weeks back. We are on a new section of some property, we find a sette which my bitch enters and begins to bay. By the time I get there and grab my locator box I hear her coming back out thru the leaf filled sette. Someone hollers SKUNK! and I see that she's already on her way out backwards, thank God She comes out a little dazed and confused, first time she's took a direct hit. She's been sprayed right under her chin and side of her face. I put her on a lead and she pukes 2-3 times. I clean h

    Possums range from a few pounds to maybe 10-12# for a good size one. You never know what your gonna get with a possum, some of them "faint" right away and are no fun for the dogs, others put up a nice fight, but nothing like a groundhog or raccoon might do. They do have some nasty teeth, and can be formidable. this one gave us a good time. Possums are nice to start young dogs on since they don't do the ripping damage the others might do. Some dogs have lost their noses or taken bad bites thru the nasal passages by groundhogs because of their chisel teeth. Here are a couple of links

    Here's about 20 seconds worth of entertainment for ya, a little bitch teasing a possum for a bit, It might take a minute or two to download, depending on your connection http://media.putfile.com/kylee-first-20-sec9 http://media.putfile.com/kylee Sometimes possums are fun for the dogs, sometimes they just play dead. This one gave us a little fun...

    Hey there Kye! What about the ladies that do their share of hunting over here! It's nice to see so many women involved in hunting terriers. Always fun. Next time you come this way bring a digger again, would ya? Not all folks in the states have big mouths. We just want to hunt with good dogs and good friends, that's all. See you in Missouri this May, lets hope!
