the fawn dog took 2 down which didnt really excite me cause now I have to check him over again with the sheep cause he seemed very keen to take out a few.I just hope he knows the difference.He has never taken a hold before,my young lad thought it was a great bit of sport.Hopefully he knows the difference between the two,

You really are priveliged to some good hunting jiggy! Nice to hear the big dog done the job for you. I'm sure with a bit of refreshing he'll see the difference between sheep and feral goat. Would the kelpie cross manage one?

 

Had a good do out my self this morning with the dogs, bit of meat for the freezer and successfull vermin control.

rocky I know exactly where your coming from,if its down to scent alone im flying cause the smell off the buggers is unreal.Ive showered and washed my hands numerous times tonight and used the steriliser liquid and I can still smell the bastads,all my dogs are stock broken since 12 weeks old and never even took a second glance at sheep cattle etc.they gave chase to a deer once befor(which I might add escaped easily thankfully) and later on never looked at a sheep so Im expecting the same from them this time.Born hunter I never leave the dogs take hold of the goats,it was the young lad that got him worked up today so I hope he doesnt regret it.The kelpie tracks them down etc but wont actually grab hold at all.Moonlighter Im in Ireland.I have 3 hanging ready for butchering tommorow,I'll let you know if their not tender the 1 :D
