Foxes - Single handed and pairs (Pre Ban)

[123456 146]

Your probably the same person midland and bedlinton. As for spewing his beddy cross I'd do it in a night and it would even be a test for some dogs .

 

...

 

half the test with a fox is catching prior to dispatching. Bring the dog down if you like and well see how it does. NO crying when it speys though!

[123456 146]

Oh and obviousley the foxes will be shot for the dog to retrieve so it will be even easier than pre-ban

[123456 146]

iv seen doubled up dogs take more stick than a single handed dog.Say for example you have one dog mouth to mouth with the fox and then the other dog pulling the fox by the arse ,well you dont have to a genius to understand what happens

 

totally agree there mate, especially some of the harder dogs that refuse to let go of where ever they have caught it incase the other dog manages to steal it

one dog =one fox..

say no more..................

The entire ethos of lurcherwork imo is sport. Pairing one dog against his worthy quarry.

Double dogging removes most of the sporting element and I can't for the life of me see the appeal.

 

Would rather shoot a fox with the rifle than double dog.

That's just me though. Everyone is different.

[Macky 227]

depends on the amoun of game around pal i reckon , a dog can only catch whats put in front of him.Down my way they are lamped to shit and as soon as a lamp goes on them they are gone like the clappers.Its so bad that lads thet have dogs that wont kill foxes are still running them for the sake of it and educating the foxes

when im out lamping unless im on my own we would double up on fox not because we think the dogs cant do them on there own more because we would be lucky to get a handful of foxes close enough to slip the dogs on a night out and we would both like to give are dogs a decent spin on one but when im on my own the dog i have with me will be given any fox that comes close enough

same as tat lad my dogs do them single no prob if i go wit a mate double up jus to give both dogs a spin why not atb

if the dog can do it there is plenty here people talk about fox dogs like everyone ownes one but i dont think there are that many proper fox dogs about thats why theres so many people doubling up j.m.o all pre ban

well feck me where ye living lol ,iv a 13 year old still killing them il wheel him up in his wheel chair .I agree with you though pal they are hard to come by .Down here you need a fast dog with stamina and enough in him to kill them without taking enough stick cause its nearly all foxes we hunt

A fox would be despatched quicker by a single dog as it becomes a tug of war when doubled up ...imo if you gave a deer a hare and a fox 100yard law charlie would be the easiest caught ....but thats if the dog wants to catch it

 

That is always the question mate, most dogs that put more than a handful of bends into one with out pulling it don't really want it.

thats a bold stament to make, like saying if the dog puts more than 15 bends in a hare it dont want it

 

Its a true statement none the less, we all like to kid ourself on sometimes but the fact is a decent enough dog will be up to its fox fast and a fully commited animal will pull that fox within 3 or 4 turns jmho.............anything more is just f*****g about, again JMHO
