coyote dogs of Docs

G'day Dan,

Just wondering how the Whippet/Stag goes like? This cross is quite popular here in Australia for fox's.

 

 

This one is Whippet X Stag. About 18 months old. The coat is not very heavy, but more than a Whippet.

great post and pictures lads those coyote teeth look like they could do a lot of damage.just wondering,how different catching a coyote is compared to catching a fox? as in are they faster? smarter? where can you find them? and so on, cheers

I think you can find them pretty much anywhere. I think they are a touch faster, with a touch more endurance. I think they fight twice as hard and are at least twice as tough to kill. I think a fox has more agility and ability to duck and dodge a dog.

tlewis-How big is your Whippet x Stag? The Lion hunting is just getting started, but I am spending most my free time chasing the coyotes instead. Yes, still at the same place on Hawks.

 

Sounder79-Coyote is faster, more wind and much more fight. Fox can make some of the bigger dogs look foolish with all their ducking and dodging, but have no chance if they try to run straight away or once caught.

 

Take care.

sounder79, coyotes over here hate fox and will hunt them down and kill them just becouse they can. Most places where you have alot of coyotes you don't have many fox and vise versa.

Yes . I'm very pleased with her and will likely breed her back to another Whippet one of these days. She is 24 inches at the shoulder, just a nice size for jack coursing for me. There are some tall Whippets around and it's easy to find a really fast 23" dog.

 

Another dog I have here is the one in the photo. Bought her at Loomis a couple of years ago and I haven't run her much. She looked fast on an Antelope, by mistake, of course!!

She actually belongs to my Bro.in law and I'm waiting for him to move to Colorado. She is season now, but I don't want to whelp a Feb. litter.

Sweet pics guys, thanks!

 

I mostly handcall into shotgun range. If they start getting too educated I use my Drahthaar to decoy em in closer and to find the dens in spring. Love the thought of watching bull x stags run em down.

Pups are free 99% of the time. Grown dogs will cost you anywhere from $500 to you name it. You cant buy anybody's best dog 99% of the time but you can usually land a good un if you try.

chased both british red fox and coyotes and silver foxes our british red fox is in between a grey fox and a coyote , saw some coyotes give the dogs a hard time and some foxes give the dogs a hard time , coyotes of the [bANNED TEXT] stamp older and wiser ones are tough critters and can run the dogs a merry dance were we hunt on the mesa its hard going as the dogs have to go in and out the brush but good sport up north so im told the get to 50lb in weight a bit of a handfull some good running near nebraska and the texas pan handle plenty coyotes all over the usa ,they are certainly not on the endagrd list lol

I tried that with mine (DD). He just chased them off. Fun to watch. But I never got a shot. I wonder if the stags could stay sighted long enough to catch one (coyote, not a DD) around here. It would sure be a nice surprise for the coyote.

i've had some success calling grey fox into the open for my salukiX. try using round bales & brush patches in hay fields or between crop fields.

I let him chase them, then call him back to me or down whistle him, so I can work the situation. The yote (usually the female) will come back in and try to lure him away. Sometimes she pees on her legs to leave a hotter scent trail and drive my dog nuts. She will bark now and then to let her mate know where we are. He will bark once, maybe twice in reply. This let's her know the ambush is ready so she can tease us past him, then he strikes. I try to keep my DD from getting cut up too bad by quietly positioning myself for *my* ambush of their ambush. I think they are aware of me the whole time, I just move quietly and stick to cover so I don't seem like a threat. If I can't get a fix on the male, I take the female. One dog on two or more yotes means I stitch my dog. :-(

 

Wonder if it would be worth it in the hilly, brushy cover a I hunt to have a DD, Plott, Walker or some such among the StagxBulls. Would think the others would learn that the excited bark means they are on prey pretty quickly.

 

Cheers,

John
