Ratreeper 441 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I like watching foxes hunt, except when we are stalking the same bunny. One time I was stalking up to a hare for about 30 mins over a large field for a fox to jump out of the bushes just as I was about to aim...wasn't annoyed though it was just surprising.

Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 This creature always amazes me, maybe this is why I love to try outwit him, he is the perfect hunting machine by any standares. I think at times we underestimate the turn of speed he displays when run down by the lurcher, I am talking one night not to long ago, we were calling from a large field and right down in the far left hand corner I spotted a set of eyes, he came to the call and I was dead sure that we could nail him, but... his sheer speed and his ability to turn on a coin got the better of the dog, but its what keeps me returning for more.

skycat 6,174 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Amazing creatures, imagine if a dog was as natural a hunter you'd never need a lamp or ferrets help. There's plenty of lurchers that are: IMO usually Saluki or Collie based lurchers: every bit as cat like, patient and focused. Love to see a lurcher stalking up and pouncing on rabbits like those foxes. Nice vid. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
