i some times wonder the point of luchers at 27 29 odd tts.....a good dog at 23 tts can do just as well on all game i would of thought..maybe wrong as am no dog man but give me a small strong bitch eny day of the week......did i go of track there lol...ooops.lol

 

If the ban ever gets lifted,

try calling a roe buck half way across a field of fully grown crop, slip a 23" dog and a 28"+ dog and see which one catches it and which one is made to look daft

smaller dogs have next to no chance if catching in grown crops there is even a difference between 27/30

Why would you want to run deer in high crops during the summer?

You should've had a bigger dog and ran bigger quarry.

lapin2008 Yes I am well aware of the seasons but as I have explained running any deer through long crops is not what it was about for me if I wanted to run roe bucks I would of found short fields or waited until the fields were cut
