Ideation 8,216 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 One thing I have fancied for a while. . . or rather fancied doing. Would be to bring over a really good stag hound bitch from a really well bred line, from the states, out of coyote dogs. The put a really well bred coursing dog over it. . . . . I'd be interested to see what came out. I'm not saying it would be better than anything else, or even suited to what I do. . . . but i wouldnt mind having a go. 1 Quote Link to post

Dan McDonough 560 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Ideation- Here is a recently posted picture off of one of the few places that you can get regular information about Stags. It's from a couple of guys just North of the boarder in Sascatchewan, Canada. I think this is the take for three days of hunting. They had five more from the last day but did not put them on the pile. 2 Quote Link to post
Dan McDonough 560 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Here's the test that went with the photo: Wow what a country. Fields smoother then their roads. Arrived just before dark caught one. The next day we caught 10 ,we had two doubles and dint miss one unlike the following day. Didn't get started real early went to some new country/caught 6 but we dumped alot more then that but tall grass and brush got in the way. The snow was crusty and the dogs were showing signs of fatigue. The last day we went in the morning for a bit caught 5 but my truck was threatening to break down(tranny trouble) called it good went home. The pic is me on the left in camo friend Kevin on right. The coyotes from the last day aren't in there. Quote Link to post
birddog 1,354 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 smart pic, all the dogs look strong and capable, personally i like the strong front ends on them and i don't know if anyone else has noticed but for so much work on consecutive days after an obviously testing quarry there doesn't seem to be a lot of injuries / damage Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Collie x for me. But two others i've seen was Deerhound/Greyhound x Collie/Greyhound & the other was a Bull/Greyhound x Collie/Greyhound. I have seen a very useful deer/grey x collie/grey work a few times last season (sire to my pup). He has died since the lining, had an accident on the lamp and had to be put to sleep. I predict that Preban he would of been very very useful. I think he would of been great on hares, easily pull deer and shy away from nothing with teeth. Just a prediction of course. He only saw rabbits 1 Quote Link to post
