LOL . The only person it is possible to please is yourself. Some lads I dig with wouldnt even touch dead quarry with a gloved hand! I must admit though to be a complete terrierman in my mind you need to be able to handle the quarry. 5 Quote Link to post
Alli 923 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 IF YOUR TERRIER IS WORTH HIS SALT, IT SHOULD BE UP AND PERSONEL WITH ITS QUARRY GIVING YOU TIME TO OPEN UP PROPERLY, TO BE DRAWN AND SHOT OR TO BE HANDLED AND RELEASED, SOME LADS LIKE TO USE A DRAW DOG EACH TO THERE OWN, BUY THE WAY THE LAW SAYS A FIREARM SHOULD BE USED TO DISPATCH. IVE NEVER USED A DRAW DOG NOR HAVE THE GUYS IVE DUG WITH, I CANT SEE THE NEED FOR ONE TO BE PRESENT AT A DIG. JMO. 4 Quote Link to post

IVE NEVER USED A DRAW DOG NOR HAVE THE GUYS IVE DUG WITH, I CANT SEE THE NEED FOR ONE TO BE PRESENT AT A DIG. JMO. I agree with u on the terrier with his salt bit Alli as im not too keen on a lurcher drawing. I'd rather get hands on with a fox and give the dog a run after it. Jmo. As I know alot of lads that hunt foxs for keepers etc need them dispatched can't take the risk off the fox getting away with a lurcher after it, which is legal we're I'm from. Sometimes Lads dig behind the terrier a right bit on purpose so a draw dog can be used. That way draw dogs were tested for years and that's how the bull/wheaten xs in lurchers were used as they were proven for there gameness. Atb Edited December 31, 2011 by MUDD 2 Quote Link to post
pernod 466 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 This is only my opinion, but a lurcher at a dig should be there for when/if the fox bolts. I don't see the need to use another dog to draw out a fox. Come on its not that hard to shoot it where it is or scruff it, a decent terrier would probably be entertaining the jaggy end if your a wee bit scared yourself. Pernod Quote Link to post

dublin dezzy 1,023 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) i am sure there are lads this side and across the water that release,for the simple reason that there may not be much quarry about the place and can dig another day there,SPORT Edited December 31, 2011 by dublin dezzy Quote Link to post

king squirrel 53 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 i dont have a problem with folk if they want to end hole there bullxs seen many a bullx have balls on top but when he has to shove his head up a little hole its a different kettle of fish and the end of the day once you break through to your terrier he should be out hes done his job without giving him unessary punishment my self i dont like loads of dogs around the hole but each to there own atb ks 2 Quote Link to post

jonesy 111 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Well im not Irish and if the fox is not doing any damage,i release when i can. Quote Link to post
MUDD 374 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I wouldn't say release !!!! More like lifted from the dig carried to a good sized field and been giving a sporting chance then let a lurcher go. Most times they are caught and dispatched. Sometimes the do get away. Lurchers are bred for running and stamina and killing power. I've been out and seen lads throw foxs down at a lurchers feet, everyone's diffferent but if your into lurchers in a big way to know what you have in your yard, that's the real deal. As I said earlier it doesn't or wouldnt suit anyone doing it for a job. Which is fair enough. 1 Quote Link to post
