Trigger 26 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 people always say that the daytime hare is the ultimate quarry for a dog but what about a daytime deer pre ban. both the hare and the deer are fast inteligent quarry, out of the two which would you say is the most challanging quarry out for a dog single handed as both would require good stamina.

I've seen a dog take day time fallow that was lucky if it ever took a hare, I saw the same dog take down a donkey and hold it by the throat. Don't no if that proves anything, but it's a fact.

Ideation 8,216 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Aye thing is the hare can turn faster and sharper, throwing the dog off, and the deer has more to run into, if that makes sense - a lot are caught near hedges, fences, trees etc. The deer probably has an equal or greater straight running speed but the its all in the turn.

jamie1011 5 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 just like hares jump in the air from stress especailly if they've never seen a dog before plus deer hiting fences is mainly a night thing due to the lamp. day they normally clear them well enough, so both make mistakes you could say. just from my experience <which is little> i'd say deeer still.
