donkdaniel 236 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 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.

sandymere 8,263 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 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. Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 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. 1 Quote Link to post
toby1066 413 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 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 Quote Link to post
yorkshirelad2 24 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 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 Quote Link to post
bunnyboiler 1,052 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 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 Quote Link to post
