iceman001979 1,316 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 So what l have taking from all that that some people hunt with there pups and some dont but most leave it till September to run there pups. 5 months in a pups life is long time where it can learn so much and gain a lot but as some people said pup is still young and no rush. Just hope everyone's pups turn out the way they want if started early or started late best luck with them all Quote Link to post
inan 841 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 TBH if I had a pup ready to start it would get started and it wouldnt matter what time of the year it was. As a rule with seasoned dogs I finish end of march then start getting the ring rust shook off them about mid august ground permiting. I dont mind taking 3/4 grown animals but take no pleasure in killing pregnant ones Provided the ground is not too hard ,I think this is the sensible way to go. Quote Link to post
fieldsman 51 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 There's plenty of stuff to do with your pup over the summer...getting it rock steady with livestock...recall basic training...what's the rush to enter the pup at 10mnts? or doesn't training matter with a coursing dog??? Almost never if the coursing men that I,v mixed with are any thing to go go by I cringe at some of the memories of some of these so called coursing men many had good dogs but I would not have any of them at my house after a year old.Having had to listen to them screaming at the top of their lungs when trying to get their dogs back,even worse watching in disbelief as one of their charges chased livestock around.I was told on many occasions that all was needed was for the dog to come back ,as long as it knows it,s name was a common phrase.Most but not all dogs owned by these so called coursing men are no good for anything else if they dont make the grade ,many could if properly trained from pups could be used in different types of work if not quite good enough for day work but most end up being dumped or killed no good for anything not the fault of the dog.

ianh 83 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 complete bunch of clueless pricks, get a fishing rod! my pups 18 months old seen a fair bit over the season (after the feeze when we eventually had one) but just learning, he has impressed me, and yes he could definately do with more hunting and yes he may not be as good come start of next season with 6 month off and it will take more effort to get him there, but isnt that really what its all about? that and respecting what you hunt Quote Link to post

scothunter 12,609 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 got to laugh at the commonn phrase here. "At least we are out working our dogs,instead of leaving them to get unfit" maybe im just old school,but i was always taught the summer months are off limits.something ive always maintained. you can keep your dog relatively fit without chasing milky does all over the place.personally i see no sport or fun in that whatsoever.

baw 4,360 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 You may aswell talk to one of these than talk to them that think summer huntings o.k brilliant photo as usual poacher. No need for summer hunting. Surely the folk who hunt during the summer don't hit it as hard as they do in the winter.... Or do they? Quote Link to post

I think scothunter has hit it on the nail regarding old school and basically respecting your quarry. Are most of the guys who run summer relatively new to the sport? I know the coney destroyer isn't but what about the rest of you? Edited April 30, 2011 by baw Quote Link to post
