Nice hunting spot. I always shoot them with bigger calibers here and with bolt actions or levers but if they're a pest there that rifle of yours must be a pig slayer really handy. Apart from pigs and whites, would you mind telling some more info on other abundant quarry there? Cheers

This is what they mean when they say they are me brave; look who's coming to save the day... and who gets closer! "It's not the size mate, it's how you use it" - Nigel Powers https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiTBuDezdYQ

These are more or less from late spring, his last one. Got more in the pc, but as stupid as it might sound it is still hard to look at them without having him around. Emotions apart, I've mostly used my teckels on a leash for blood tracking, but I've hunted boar and deer with small packs of em owned by others and, just to give you an idea, their behavior in my opinion would be a mix between a hound and a terrier. Although they do go mad after a scent you never have the sensation that they are going to get lost. I'm sure Fat-Ferret can give you more details.

Here´s a pic of my boy after tracking and finding a deer last may. I posted it some time ago here but since the thread is about teckels and deer... I really miss that dog.

Great thread! Here´s my hunting buddy with two of his setters pointing at a wild quail.

More pics. Funny how he´s changed from his firsts birds! Cheers.

Thanks. I must say that it really amazes me how british pointing dog numbers (exclude the useless show ones please) have dropped down so much in Britain. I mean, come on, it is the cradle of top specialised working dogs! I guess there´s surely a reason (or more) why this is happening. I´d really like to know your opinion on this. Cheers.

Thank you very much. Pointing dogs are very demanding when it comes to training but every little step they advance is so exciting...

Thanks!

Hi. Any Gordon Setter fan around here? I´ve always been a pointing dog one, specially setters (mostly English). Last spring I got a Gordon Setter pup from good working lines. He is now a 9 month old pup and he is really nuts about red legged partridges (real wild and brave ones) and woodcocks. This season was suposed to be just an introductory lesson to him, but he is indeed a precoucious dog! Our first day after partridges he retrieved his first one ever at the age of only 5.5 months. Since then he has been behaving like a bird addict, really obsessed in finding them. He is tireless

Simply brilliant. Congrats!

Here's his last boar at almost his 13th birthday.

Hi mate. I have owned working teckels for many years (almost 20) and can't think of a better breed for you. Great nose, stubborn trackers, brave, great flushers, "comfortable" sized and incredible house pets. Yes they lack speed and jumping or springing agility but who needs them for tracking wounded animals? Try wired hair ones and obviously from working lines (Czec Republic ones or Spanish ones have great working bloodlines). If you find terriers a bit feisty (jagd terriers will be my other choice) a teckel will bring you great times. In almost 20 years I've never lost a wounded animal

Thanks Sussex. Didn't want to say it cause I thought it wasn't relevant; my old Teckel pal was diagnosed with cancer a couple of months ago so you can imagine how much these last stalkings mean to me, specially after losing my Kerry blue in April. If they are always rewarded after a nice job imagine these last ones. Very special indeed. As soon as I have more time I'll post his last tracking after a wounded boar; what a brave little guy!

Hi mate. I totally agree with the other advices. Patience, meticulous observations of the area and some bit of patience again! I use the central hours of the day to search for deer tracks or other evidence. While doing so keep quiet, try to use the same clothes every time, don't smoke or pee or spit on the area (obviously ), and, I don't know if this is legal in the UK, place a couple of salt blocks to attract them. As for nordik roe or buttolo calls, my experience is that they are effective during the summer rut as they have also advice you. Using them in other seasons makes them lear

Thanks mate! Must say I only shoot if I'm close enough and the shot is very clear so I can put the bullet on the best place, and that only if I am on my own. It's more like a masterclass where I an the pupil. Makes me improve a lot and it is very helpful with my clients stalkings.

Hi everyone. This stalking post happened in mid May but I thought you might find it interesting. I was going after a very good buck which had been tricking me since last season (by the way, he´s done it again this one!). I had seen him around the same area for at least two weeks and since last year waiting for the summer rut seemed useless I decided to try and end this chasing in spring. As you might have imagined the day I decided to go after him was the day he dissapeared (well, not completely true, I saw him once more in august lying down on a crop field less than 10 metres away fro

Hahahaha, thanks mate! See you soon!

Here's an update. Clean and dry the trophy weighed 505grm. Silver. Here are some images the client has sent me (he does all the work himself, quite nicely must say). I hope you like them. Cheers.

Yes! This "El Viejo" issue was starting to obsess him... and me!
-
True that one.Every single day!
-
Thank you. It is always something else when you come to know a certain animal and you´ve been playing cat and mouse for some time. This time we won, but more than once they do! I guess that is why I like hunting; you never know what will happen!! Cheers.

Thanks!
