Guest mucker Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 most folk will double up young dogs with an experienced one when lamping fox. so i dont see why slipping a young dog on a cub is any less benificial. keep them winning as they say. i never try and get a fox in with out the filter on the only thing i dont like about the red filters is its no good on the rabbits, i find.

Hope you get no more foxes in.... till september that is . good man urself. mate just wants to get the dog started on them and get its fitness up and get the dog used to them and gain bit more experience. theres so many of them around at the minuit, and its good to try and get a few before the game is put down. my mates not just a summer time hunter does it all year round.

Guest oldskool Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 (edited) its good to teach the dog to do it by himself. singlehandedness is wat u are aiming for. i used to just run a young dog with the old. but i sometimes discovered that a hard dog would catch where he could and take punishment but a dog that has been taught on his own will learn to catch by the throat or chest. [bANNED TEXT] the fox has been despatched lift it by the back legs and enourage the dog to mouth the neck. a cub or 2 will hardly damage the population although stop [bANNED TEXT] the dog learns wat its all about! this season will let u see wat he is made of. cubs will also let the dog see wat a fox in the beam looks like. the first one is usually a bit of a puzzle to a dog that has only lamped bunnies! also get yourself a few different calls and maybe a different color of filter. evryone uses filters and squeeks using their hand! and anyone that uses a filter usually buys a red one lol.

NorthernIreland 0 Posted June 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 yea , its had a run on a few foxes but neva caught them , it knows what its doing now and did have a clan kill on the cub last week. mates away for a month now so dog wont be out, lucky for the foxes lol. i think what you are saying old skool is wise, i am passing on all this info to me mate, he probs wont run foxes till end of summer ,probs wont do many rabits till then either. september is when hell start.

Rabbithunter 456 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I've said it before and i'll say it again GREEN filters are the way forward Quote Link to post
Guest oldskool Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 (edited) I've said it before and i'll say it again GREEN filters are the way forward i thought green was a good idea too, just incase i get lost and end up lamping on forbidden ground :whistle: :ph34r: . but i thought it mite be a bit hard to pick stuff up [bANNED TEXT] scanning the field.

Kane 2 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I've said it before and i'll say it again GREEN filters are the way forward LOL LOL LOL,red filter, green filter, sky blue pink filter. Get out there in the season dark still nights forget about your realtree your filters your new digital sound electric portable caller and try and learn to walk quietly,stop fidgeting ,giggling and learn a bit of field craft use hedges etc as a back ground to cut out your siloette,dont run a couple of rabbits or a hare through boredom and then expect to call that fox across the same field he might be looking your way but he aint going to come and all your doing is educating them. Well des said it all running an 18 month old bullx bich on rock hard land after a few cubs be lucky if she makes it till sept,plenty of foxes will still be around though so why not wait for better running conditions.
