Any foxes left?

[deltor 1]

I'm only 20 so obviously i haven't ever hunted badger but i have a question.

 

do the terrier men who were around when badger digging was legal think that all the dogs that were regarded as "hard" on foxes faired so well on badger? Do you think there was a difference in styles between the two quarry? Obviously the locator played a big part in the change in dogs used for digging.

 

i only ask this because i was speaking to an old poacher the other day and he is of the opion that alot of good fox dogs nowadays would take a pasting off a badger.

 

i dont wont to start and arrgument on wether you should or shouldnt hunt badger i just want to no peoples opions on the subject :thumbs-up:

i would never hunting badgers not fair on the dog or the badger i will tell you now if the badger gets its hands on any terrier it will take the dogs belly apart i spoke to this old man he told me that his friend went badger diging when he was younger with his dad and he seen a saff get killed so he swears blind that he would never put a dog to a badger again

People were digging badger with terriers for centuries before the ban(s) on badger digging so maybe not every terriers belly was taken apart

my grandad used to dig to badger. I can remember waiting in his house when he was out digging for him to come home to see the badgers he has killed. I can remember looking at him walking down the road with a badger around each shoulder and his old terrier mitsy to his heal. She was a special dog mitsy a jrt type terrier. There is meny times where he has gone out with 3 dogs and returned with just mitsy and the badgers. He said there takes a special type of dog to do the job and if it couldnt he would give it to a man down the road on his way home who dug foxes for the local farms. Also he lost meny dogs to badgers but mitsy was a special dog who dyed at 15 and was still doing the job at that age and dyed in a set. She met her match at the jaws of a huge badger. My grandad dug to he lifted her out and let the badger go with out a mark and that was his last dig. Its shit that its not legal because i would love to carry on what he done and maybe find my own mitsy.
