sounder 9 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 No bullshit lads, but it's a very sad indication on the skill of Irish terriermen when they come out saying they can't / won't / scared to handle game. It also shows a lad who hasn't done much. i think it very sad when you think that there only one way to do it YOUR WAY!!!OR THE WAY YOU TELL IT , just becaues i or other use a lurcher for bolts or a draw we are cowards and as some said our lurcher are not good enought to run them if they are used for drawing ???? as i said i handle them when or if i need have to , repect for other man way that don't suite you , we all should give it up because you don't approve , you should have along chat with urself , sounder Quote Link to post
mudd dog 128 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Yeah I know that, duh!!!! The topic is DRAW DOGS and as you've probably already noticed I don't believe lurchers should be used in such fashion. Just my opinion. What's wrong with letting the fox walk out of the hardened stand back and when he gets up slip the lurcher then ??? Still gona get the fox, farmer happy. It might save your precious lurchers a few teeth in the long run. Quote Link to post

mudd dog 128 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Yeah, I said why keep lurchers if your gonna use them to draw foxs ? when it's clear they are built for speed to course and catch fox. A staff or a wheaten would suit you better. Then you started the lamping saga when it's clear the topic doesnt involve lamping. Quote Link to post
mighty dino 9 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Your lurcher will kill every fox he draws it will not kill everyone you let out respect your quarry! Quote Link to post

mudd dog 128 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Personally if I went for a hunt with a man that said his lurcher was killing foxs and we dug one and he requested to let his lurcher draw it out ! He'd be very disappointed because that wouldn't be happening. I'd be testing his dog to see if it's as good as he says and it certainly wouldn't be by drawing it. They're called running dogs for a reason. Quote Link to post

stevie g 2005 125 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Like I said before if you can't take a fox out of a dig whilst he's looking straight at you (terrier took away) then you shouldn't even be out trying to work a terrier. Anyone can put a collar on a terrier. A 5 year old child could operate a locator. Most able men can use a shovel to some degree. It's knowing what to do at the end that takes a terrierman. If some one want's to work a strong dog at the end because he thinks that's a strongdogs job and it will better the breed then that's his own buissness. But if someone sticks a 70 lb lurcher or a 40 lb strong dog in to get the game out because he might get bitten then he's a coward in my opinion and shouldn't be at this game. What, it's ok for the terrier to get bitten, but f****d if I'll risk it. A coward. The best solution at the end of a dig is a firearm but a lot of us after the hunt/dig like to see our game run away (one of the beautys of terrierwork IMO compared to other fieldsports) and the quickest and most humane way on terrier and game is to use your hands. IMO if you can't then your only someone who keeps terriers and not a terrierman, JMHO. boys like u are whats wrong with this game sitting on this site blowing his own trumpet i never met u but i would say ur a first class prick the sort of guy that when out on a days digging u be glad to get home and have a laugh with ur mate saying how much of a cock u are Well maybe it's time you did meet me. If I'm everything that's wrong with the game then I'd be a happy man. well if ur ever up the north i wouldnt mind meeting ireland greatest terrierman hound man strongdogman dont make me laugh Quote Link to post

danny300 2,240 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) You shouldn't let your lurcher draw a fox let it out to see how it does with it no way to test a lurcher! but when you no your lurcher can take a fox on its own day or night so i dont see a problem with letting it work the hole Edited October 5, 2011 by danny300 Quote Link to post
