Guy12 0 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Just been looking through a whole bunch of photos recently of past hunting days...dont do much just now due to work committments but am hoping to get back in the saddle in the near future. Used to take alot of deer with what i had at the time which was a 5/8ths grey 3/8ths bull which knocked them over with ease...just tested on roe. Would like to know what you guys/gals would consider the perfect deer dog to have been when times were in our favour to hunt this amazing animal? All the best Quote Link to post

young buck 375 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 saluki/bull/greyxs are good at doing it Quote Link to post
ian 1 36 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 you should try your dog on a sika stag when the rut is on to test it Quote Link to post
Hunting Lad 50 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Reckon most crosses can do them, think the perfect dog needs to be 26" with good early pace to put pressure on them but with the stamina to stick with them. Once they get a turn out of them a good experienced dog will tend to have them. IMO My prefered cross pre ban would of been saluki x or salukix with a little dash of deeerhound.

Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 The bigger the dog the better IMO, fast enough to put them under pressure to get a bend out of them and then if the dogs any good should be a flip and throat hold...job done. Quote Link to post
