bolting foxes

[cathunter 8]

Do foxes bolt often when a dog is down the den? and did people run them down with lurchers preban after they bolted or shot with the shot gun? Do den doggers(the hunters) prefure if the dog bolts the fox or you dig down to the fox and deal with it? sorry i my sound like an idiot, but i'm still learnin about what to do before i put my bitch down a den for the first time.

regards cathunter

i like to dig down but sometimes in big earths it is better for a bolt

Let your TERRIER enter and see what happen's Simple as that' just make sure it has a locator on and you humainly dispatch the fox.

I prefer a dog that will put the pressure on it and keep it in one spot until its dug too.

Depends what you want out of a dog and what type of hunting you do.. Some boys like the sport of digging to the dog & quarry, but if it's pest control in awkward areas like farm rubbish tips where a dig is nigh on impossible, then obviously a baying type terrier is more desirable.

or a nutter that will finish the job

Right enough!

 

I should have added that I was speaking from the few seasons experience I had with hunt terriers!

More than one tool in the box

always be prepared to dig

Different size hammers for different size nails.

your dogs workstyle will to some degree decide for you if you have to dig or get a bolt. and the way you go about the job yourself. can help decide the outcome also

Cheers, so i should use a locater on my dog, and let her work it out for her self and i go for the ride i thought having a collar on might get snagged on a tree root or hinder entry and exit for the dog. but i'll get a locater so i'm not gessing where my dog is if she gets introuble. got any idea on what one is worth?
