djs7547 104 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 pre-ban, i seen a few reds been taken, and also a few dogs taking stags single handed, however i nearly lost a good dog to this (as i told you in another thread). I guess its all to do with the terrain , what everyone is forgetting, is whether it be roe,fallow, red or whatever your looking for, all these animals know there land, ie where the streams are , where the fences are, where the little tracks or whatever it is they can use to evade any possible predator. Thats what helps them, and they will do there best to use this knowledge to there advantage, remember they are running for there life. Reds on the other hand, anyone trying to run there dog against one of these big beasts (single handed) is taking big risks, they will give your dog the fight of its life, everone is sayin f "if the deer makes a mistake" against one of these, if your dog makes a mistake it is very possible to pay that mistake by its life. With the same token, hinds can be dangerous too. Iguess no-one needs to worry about these things anymore as the ban is in order eh al the best 3 Quote Link to post
Guest Moscow Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Interesting views are we all agreed that a red stag is the fastest? There are a few on here who should read and keep quiet instead of typing you reckon fred? 1 Quote Link to post
gibbo1973 187 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 are you lot talking about fastest in day time or lamping as they run so differently,a wild mammmal in day time knows its terrain inside out and i would of loved to see this done pre ban in daytime (not roe as ive witnessed the speed of these little beauts) Quote Link to post

youngy 1 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I reckon fallow .take off quicker than red but when red get going there doing some , big deer sometimes look faster than they actually are down to some dogs pushing rather than catching all pre ban of course good thread Quote Link to post
