With Hound And Shovel

[Gilliers 30]

It supposed to be foxhunt yesterday, but windy and cold weather made foxes fearfull and my hound didnt find any foxes, still found den with strong smell revealing there something in. Well we didnt have terrier available that day,so what you can do but start digging. After two hours and 6 holes we got two raccoondogs out of den.

Great work ....... Do you get much of a hunt off them ?

R.A.W, do you mean that we would have money for hunting those critters? We dont. We hunt them for game management reasons.. Or well.. last season fur trade auction good raccoondog pelt was worth of 60 euros..

Thanks for the reply ......... I meant what sort of distance and time does your dog track them for. We don't see many of them over this neck of the woods and was wondering what sort of sport they put up. ...................120 euros isn't bad for a day out.

Ok, misunderstanding Usually my dogs finds them after 400-1000 meter tracking. How long time it takes depends terrain.. I m not sure about the sport but fun it is. !!

Thanks................... sounds like fun . So they hole up after 400-1000 meter ?

 

Do they take to the trees at all ?

Yes, no long tracking, and they do not climb.
