pattstaff 157 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Dan your saying that yous have dogs there that are real good on a "Yote" Am just wondering do you mean that there hot on a yote but not other things?

Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Ya there are dogs here that are great on coyotes but maybe not so hot on a coon and then the exact opposite can be true too. Just depends on the dog. Quote Link to post
Buch 145 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Do you mean they dont like taking stick of racoons (i guess this is the case) or do they have a hard time finding? Ive read of you guys before that racoons can be really tough but i guess there nothing compared to coyotes. Quote Link to post

Ive read of you guys before that racoons can be really tough but i guess there nothing compared to coyotes. I wish I could answer your question with a precise answer but unfortunately I cant. I just think some dogs have certain styles about them and certain styles will work really well for one critter but not so much for another. Young immature coons that aint to big are a walk in the park but a big ole boar coon in January is another story but any good dog will handle it but finding that dog aint always so easy. 1 Quote Link to post

Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Wolverines? HAHA! That one prolly wouldn't work out so well for ya. As far as Fishers go I have heard of houndsmen running into them but you aint gonna catch em with sighthounds too awful easy. Quote Link to post

There aint very many around here at all. the english brock billy at 50 pounds no dog single handed would kill yote hounds would jack the english badger is defo more forbiddable than the yote just a thought no dog would kill a badger single handed well that's not true. out lamping I saw a big deerhound/grey pick an adult badger straight up in the air and shake the life straight out of him the dog opened his hole under side guts and organ every were it only lasted about 10 seconds. another day I saw a big staff grab a badger by the head and crush his scull he killed a few badgers with one bite on the head. these are the only 2 dogs I ever saw kill a badger single handed but I heard of one more a few years before my time he was a pit bull. now I will agree that most dogs cant kill them single handed but there are some out there. I don't hunt badgers anymore and I haven't for years. Quote Link to post
j1985 1,984 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Think he meant if the European badgers were as big as the yank ones (50lbs) then it would take a serious dog to kill one due to the size they'd be! Plenty of dogs out there capable of killing badgers if guess...... 1 Quote Link to post
alan81 110 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 I was thinking 50lbs was pushing it a bit, by about 15lbs Quote Link to post
