    We were using bay and mix and straight out bayers, both as good as each other, very similar to a fox, just more claws and more nimble. The mixers were heavily marked up, don't be fooled by the "easy title" , they can give plenty out especially in the numbers you find them in.

    Barn hunting is good fun, plenty of numbers if that's what you're after depending on weather and area. Some of the barns I hunted were huge, the old hay had been there for generations by the look of it, it turned to dust once you moved it about. Some of the runs inside the barns were as good as a decent fox earth in the UK, I filled my boots and then some.

    That was a good few years ago, they weren't having it all their own way even then, in one particular area the game warden was trying his level best to charge people for dog fighting for using the stags on coyotes............sounds familiar As far as terrier work went as long as you'd got a license to hunt you were all good, the American lads would know more, I was just along for the ride.

    I was told on my first coyote hunt that they'll test a stag on the way back in from a long run, if they don't catch them they'll turn around and follow the stag back in. If they think it's gutless they'll start calling in other coyotes to kill the stag ! A few hounds we came across on our travels

    That's in Wyoming Rickshaw, I was a guest so I choose my picture carefully so as not to show anyone's face or house without their permission

    Drop box, a wire run a into the cab, once you get somewhere near you slow down and pull the wire which releases the stags

    Have a look on YouTube King, plenty on there, they drive around in trucks with drop boxes on mate. The stags (lurchers) see them first usually, once you hear them screaming for action you know you're in business.

    No one apart from one girl could understand a single word I said ! I'd look at someone, talk as slow and pronounced as possible and NOTHING ? They'd just look at the girl for translation ???

    The English boys I know that have dug them all tailed them, it'd be rude not to

    This video will give you more of an idea, he even gives his views on why he used three terriers, I don't agree but he's level headed and he's welcome to his views.

    Forget the image you've got in your head, they don't have anything like an established badger sett, they just scratch out a piss pot hole, nothing on the scale you're thinking about. Granted I was only there for 3 weeks, but I saw dozens of scratched out places, all looking fresh, but all empty. The one thing every place had in common was they were nothing more than an old rabbit hole or some other rodent hole. What's better than a terrier running an earth..................three, obviously ?

    I was quoting you from the New Mexico trip, I've had offers to go back out with what should be a better percentage of digging one, I might just take them up.

    A very naughty one, this character new the score........it didn't do it any good in the long run

    I enjoyed this dig, the first time my youngest lad dug with me.......and sadly the last, beer and fanny took hold and he was lost to the cause
  20. dillydog
    On his first day out, his first dig too, he made it all look easy

    And you didn't find one..........perhaps it tuned back Into a nomadic creature ? Perhaps I used the wrong terminology, I just meant they weren't an animal you're nailed on to find like the European badger

    They're nomadic, they clean dozens of sets out every night, I checked place after place looking for one but never found one. They don't establish a few big sets like our badgers, they drift around and clean out tiny rabbit holes. Have a look on YouTube, there's a few videos on there, even one with lads digging one out.
