Ideation 8,216 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 These numbers can be achieved if you are keen have the right dog the right ground.this bitch had a few years well over the hundred mark and was still at it at 10 I have read some comments and I can see the doubters, I have seen this bitch work and to be honest she would do that number a peice of piss I believe him, no reason to doubt him, if he says it happened it happened. Moo is as sound as a pound as far as I'm concerned. It's also not actually THAT many. If you have the quarry to go at, then a dog capable of doing it, can do it, end of, and should be able to 'do it' on multiple a night/day, so the rest is just down to the owner. Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 It's also not actually THAT many What i meant was mate, it's a lot, don't get me wrong, and not something i have done, but i know some that do. If you live in an area thick with game, and your out say 4/5 nights a week at least. Then in a season you get a lot of nights out, and if the dog is really a good dog, then knocking over say 100 in a season isn't unbelievable. It's impressive, especially to do it consistently over several seasons, but not a flight of fantasy for a dog to take 700, working 4/5 nights a week, for say 6/7 seasons. Alright? Quote Link to post
baw 4,360 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I know what you mean ideation, it's achievable. Still some feat though lol by Anyones standards Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I just find it funny, the guy says his dog has done it, and then when i say, yer i believe that, it's not a ridiculous number, he's like 'Oh no it IS ridiculous, it's really high it is'. . . . . like somehow by believing him i'm taking away his chance to feel superior? Sorry if i have that all wrong, i often do. Quote Link to post
DEERMAN 1,020 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 it can be done,with a bit of luck from injurys and if you willing to travel 5/6 times a week belive me.preban Quote Link to post

Still some feat though lol by Anyones standards Oh f**k aye, it's incredible, but there are folk with decent enough dogs, lots of game and an obsessive zeal for it, that get similar numbers, especially i think on that kind of quarry. It's just that the combination of a good enough dog, and obsessed enough owner and the game to go at, rarely comes together in one place at one time. And i'm sure on here, there might be one or two who have taken more with one dog in its career than 700. But who knows. Quote Link to post

And having your dog functioning most of the time. There are probably more dogs that could do it, than owners who try. Quote Link to post

J Darcy 5,871 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Over a hundred deer a season with one dog is a bloody lot.....Make no bones about it . When i was going at it like a man possessed,every spare minute out with the dog, i still didnt get anywhere near treble figures You would need a good dog and a very keen owner i should imagine......

If you read it, i said it "actually isn't THAT many', as in, it is not a stupid, ridiculous, mythical figure. High, but not bullshit high. And it was followed by a sentence which explained what i meant. But there was a fair bit of punctuation and some poly syllabic words, so maybe that was a bit of a stumbling block. And 700 WAS for a lifetime. Quote Link to post
