pre ban question about dogs and deer.....

[donkdaniel 236]

Ha ha f*****g brilliant bet that were French lol

right then...i was having a debate with some one about when a dog is trained to take down deer.....

 

my argument was, once a dog has taste of deer hunting, then would the dog have more chance of pulling sheep/cattle/horse down as well. hunting day or night??

 

i would like input from experianced preban hunters that did this in the past...

 

this is a preban question...i dont even have deer no where near where i live!

 

thanks

A few years ago i was having this same conversation with a couple of Irish lads that liked a run on Venison,they stopped after their dogs mistook an horse for a roe one night,they said it was a bas***d to get the dead horse in the Fiesta. The day after it was in the papers and all over the news channels,because of idiots with lurchers,Shergar met his end.

your kidding right

Deadly serious,took them 3 months to eat the evidence.

[wit 1]

what about a brown calf or a young horse then?

 

you would have nothing to worry about, were talking about a lurcher here not a T-Rex :laugh:

quality.

I once entered a horse and when it stepped back it stood on my foot and broke 3 toes.

 

Never again.

Long long ago, it was noticed that when even a well stock broken lurcher started on deer it can start to take an interest in sheep, hill sheep especially seem to get their interest. It’s was worth being a little careful till things have settled and your sure the dog is still ok. No dog deer taker or otherwise will ever be 100% sheep proof, many a working collie has lost its life after a step on the dark side.

Deer and sheep seem hard wired into dogs brain but horses lol, mind you’d soon fill a freezer with horse lolol.

there is more of a chance that a deer dog will take sheep on the odd occasion.

[Ideation 8,216]

I guess it depends on your sheep.

 

I would say there is a big difference between a big heard of white sheep standing in a green field, and one black/brown, scraggly sheep that suddenly pops out of cover and goes battering off through the ferns / bracken / wood etc, acting a lot like a deer.

 

Not that it should happen, but i would imagine the dog might be a bit more hyped up by it than if it had only ever run rabbits.

good point mate and wheh theres snow on the ground sometimes a dog that usually dont look at them will pay more attention then it should

Just going off the topic slightly if you had a dog bull whippit x collie grey 20 tts. And you entered her for the first time on deer pre ban of course

And she coursed it until it hit a fence and the dog just stops and looks untill it got loose and bolted the other way.

Would this mean your dog is"nt likely to do deer or is it just an age thing.

This is of course a pre ban question :whistling: Cheers guys

For the first time if it's not seen it done by another dog then it's probebly thinking what the f**k do I do now

THE END..
