Staghound

if most of your shooting is around the 100 meter mark and you can use moderators why not try the 44 mag or 45/70 loaded at sub sonic levels? there both very good deer stoppers.

the riflescopestore is a rip off on zeiss scopes. ive got 3 zeiss scopes from the optic zone they will post scopes to most countrys. they only stock a few brands but are very cheap and good to deal with http://theopticzone.com/searchresult.aspx?CategoryID=77 all there zeiss scopes are $100 some $200 cheaper than the riflescopestore

ive got one in 243 had it just over 12 months now and put over 1000 rounds through it. it shoots hand loads from 55 to 100gr all under 3/4 moa when loaded right. im about to give some 105gr amax a try. the ajustible cheeck rest makes a big difference with the 50mm objectives. i lightened the trigger off on mine from the factory settings its easy done with an allen key. so far theres been no disslikes with it i like a heavy gun and find them easyer to shoot off hand than a light weight gun

i would never kennel bitches or dogs together if it could be helped. anyone that says bitches are fine pened together or dogs together are asking for trouble. ive seen sisters kill each other, brothers flog the piss out of each other, grandmothers and granddaughts go at it. non of the fights were over food either, fights over food are nothing normaly one dog backs down real quick its when they fight to be pack leader that they go to the death given the chance. it might be fine for 4 or 5 years then when it happens without warning it gets very messy. ive got a bitch at the vets now that was pac

i had a rabbit swim out into a dam made it about 5 meters dog caught it bought it to the bank sat it down to shake the water off, the rabbit jumped back in the dam she went and got it and the same thing happened again. the third time she didnt bother to sit it down befor shaking

fjager the 6.5 is getting harder and more expencive to get bullets for here a bloke i was talking to the other day that only shoots factorys said the last 12 months they have gone up and a few times hes gone to get them even the bigger gun stores havent had any on the shelf. just somehting to consider

ive had about 220 or 230 for the year with gun and dogs off about 4000 acers. 3 different nights over winter i got 25, 23 and 22. last year i shot 24 of 400 acers in a week, 11 in the first outting with the 22lr and the rest with a 22 250 5 days later. i know a hound crew that got close to 500 this year and we do some of the same propertys. they were getting 20 plus most days they went out at the start of the year

i had a JR that was a prick for going down wombat holes. he lasted 15 years giving them hell all the time and only got knocked out once when he was 12 it didnt stop him tho. it not something i ever encouraged him to do or wanted him to do when i got him at 12 months old he already had the habbit and i could never break it. i never tryed to hard either. he was always left to roam free over our 1000 acre farm he would often bugger off for the day and come back covered in clay from battling the bats all day underground. he lost all his teeth trying to chew on there thick skin. he used to be able

im down the bottom of vic, steve. lots of small dairy farms were you need all the speed and turn you can get out of a dog. heres the male out of the same litter as the other 2 i kept.

i run a few saluki x stags and i can see them becoming alot more popular to. they make a far better dedacated fox dog than most of the straight stags getting around because they are smaller and quicker off the mark. you see alot of stags have whippet in them to for the same reason it just adds that extra little somehting special to them.

i had this bitch for about 3 or 4 years. im not sure how much wolfhould was in her or what else was in there. she was one of the hardest dogs ive seen she never gave a shit about were she gradeb a fox or how much of a chewing she coped of it but she was to big and heavy to be a good fox dog.

blb im the salukis 3rd owner she was bred in tassy and i got her when she was about 2 or 3yo shes an alright fox dog not great tho after about 3 or 4 foxs she gets soft. i dont run her much anymore now as she has broken her leg twice chasing deer. she has a very light frame she 24" and 22 kg were as my deer x grey is 24" 33 kg. she the only one ive ever seen any were here and im thinking about looking for a male bred the same as they have alot of good trats. i kept 4 of the pups for 12 months and got them all hunting then sold 1 of the bitches that ended up being about 28" or 29" and kept 2 bi

this is there son he had great straight line speed but couldnt stick to the smaller dogs on the turns i bred him with a salukix greyhound bitch and got some great pups. some turned out to big for what i want but one of the bitch pups is probly the fastest dog i have seen run shes a realy smart handy dog

here are a few pics of my deerhound and my deer xs that i had/have. they take alot longer to wind up and catch hairy bull thats the main reason i went away from them.
