awen 29 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 i think a dog that takes in woodland not only needs to be fast and agile but big enough to go through or over cover, as a pure deerhound is good going over open rough ground after deer but not woodland [correct me if im wrong] there must be someone out there that has a line bred specifically/predominantly for woodland hunting, please pm if you like. someone mentioned about minshaw being good at this, does or have anyone owned and used one in this way. thanks folks keep it coming Quote Link to post
Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Throat dogs are born not made by moving them up on the throat. Some dogs might be able to be taught to do it but that aint my way. I have a bitch that does not take the throat of a coyote but only the high chest, I hate it but she is also very violent so I forgive her. My male dog CANNOT OR WILL NOT grab a coyote anywhere else but in the throat. He is a throat dog. The same goes for a dog on deer. They are born not made. come on then col saunders im all ears this is all new to me im really on edge of seat here..do your dogs use ropes /lassoes (cant spell) I do not know you. You most definately do not know me. If you want to be a smart ass towards me that is fine but you sound like a little f****n c**t. I'll extend this offer on here once again to all. If you want to see dogs that take game unaided and un-coached and do it right, fly your ass over here and I will show you anything you want to see. I am not afraid nor do I think you will be disappointed. Quote Link to post
Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 : Some really interesting comments guys... I see a lot of wild deer, Roe, Fallow, Sika,.etc...often on a daily basis,..and to be honest,.as a humble catcher of rabbits, they can sometimes be a wee bit of a fecking nuisance However, as a life-long fan of the running dog types,..it is good to hear how other lads are doing, and how they go about things... I have found that the exciting chat regarding the taking of various deer species can often produce the best in a hunting man,.but alas,...it can also the bring out the worst All the best,.CHALKWARREN...

jamie2004live 163 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 when i was a bit younger me and a mate were hooked on deer hunting, usually on moorland with small woods every quarter mile or so dotted about. the 2 lurchers we owned at the time formed a great partnership that worked and got got big results week in week out. my pals dog was a small maybie 24 inch smithield collie cross, we would let her draw the woods and i would stand outside with my 29 inch saluki greyhound cross, in no time at all the bitch realised that if they got out the wood she wouldnt get a rag. so she developed a good nack of regularly catching in cover. and the saluki dog for running them down in the open Quote Link to post

UNFIT 0 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 iv only had the pleasure of seeing a few decent deer dogs but the best iv seen was a deerhound ,wheaten cross .Sadly a hell of a lot of deer dogs die in unforgiving accidents where im from and that dog is no longer with us.As for commenting on dogs iv read about in books ,i wont because i wont judge a dog until iv seen him run myself ,as the saying goes believe half of what you hearmore like nothing what you here ,and half of what you see ,when it comes to working lurchers .and dog sites Quote Link to post
