jimmys shop 182 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 This was 2 or 3 seasons ago...dug 5 feet or so and had to tunnel in about 9 or 10. Started as soft sand but ended up as hogging...took all day. The reasons terriers are crap nowadays is the fact all testing quarry cannot be legally hunted...goes back to the 70's I'm afraid..

Agree with ye there fella but when something has been dug before and its at 3ft or 4ft the dogs obviously tested less than something at 8ft or 10ft ,the depth aint the factor its the time the dogs to its quarry i think the lads are trying to say Quote Link to post

Mudcat 95 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 This was a 7' dig to a woodchuck. It was on a vertical bank and was the little terriers first dig on woodchucks. It took 4 of us about 2 hours to get down to her. Nothing like the tough digs you guys have, but it was one of our deeper ones. Mudcat Quote Link to post

It took 4 of us about 2 hours to get down to her. Nothing like the tough digs you guys have, but it was one of our deeper ones. Mudcat I like it mud! nice one. The deepest/longest was to a JRT that went in a bank and got into a tussel with a fox and some soft stuff fell behind him, hence stuck. Happen at late afternoon and the next morning we were there. Dug 30ft straight back give or take a few feet in soft sand by noon we had 15 diggers there and a bucket system going got the dog out at 600pm in good condition. I was out for a foxhunt with the NBP in Pa. Hounds ran a nice one in after some great running . I was on foot and had my Den Terrier with me called Gwen. I entered her and she went off the box straight away. The Master put the hounds away and we dug 10ft.straight down in soft stuff again thank god and picked up the dog roughed up and no fox I wasnt very happy I can tell you Edited April 22, 2011 by STUNTMAN Quote Link to post

Anyone that isnt prepared to dig a good depth really should find another pursuit for follow 1 Quote Link to post
