ratkilla 35 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Cracking read F.R, does a terrier kill a coon to ground or are they hard quarry for the terrier? Quote Link to post
F.R. 2 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Taffy, the biggest I've seen taken was 31# with Kye's Bricca. They get bigger the further north from what I've heard and it takes a good animal to kill one to ground- tough animals. A bag of fat with a head and dextrous hands. I think Kye rates them among ground game. Quote Link to post

Kye 77 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 When i first got over here i thought nothing of Raccoons...until i saw decent dogs on decent Raccoons!..lol. They are much harder than a fox to kill imo...for all you guys that are old enough to remember Badgers (Prior 197?) they have the body of a badger, with the same fat and hide, they dont 'bite' as such, they tend to want to grab a dog, and then procede to chew bits off of them!...i rate them above the fox as a worthy terrier IF you use the right dog...a coon will happily sit there and be bayed at...its when the dog makes constant contact that you will see what a good Raccoon is made of...i cant rate them highly enough. Kye,.. PS...you guys are welcome anytime you wanna trip!...all you need is airfair. When i first got over here i thought nothing of Raccoons...until i saw decent dogs on decent Raccoons!..lol.

F.R. 2 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) cracking post F.R and really good action pics,what do you mean when you said you thought tigger had been skunked? marco, it means when a skunk sprays a terrier in the ground. If the dog gets a enough spray inhaled, the reaction can range from disorientation to shock or death. Often a terrier gets quite sick immediately and recovers without permanent damage.
