It does sound as if you were all having a "stab in the dark" and there is nothing wrong with that, provided you come out the other side having learnt something. From the posts I can see that most are disappointed, but at the same time upbeat because they have learned something.

 

Well done to you all I say, for having the courage to face the unknown rigours of boar hunting head on, and coming out with more knowledge that you went in with.

 

I honestly tip my hat to you all.

And a somewhat different approach. Let the dogs do the leg work, gps on them all and sit down and have a cuppa. Start running when the wee flashing blobs all stop moving at the same place lol.

 

Mind you those ibex would probably become rapidly extinct lol.

A few of these....

 

 

and a couple of these...jobs a goodun.

 

Why waste your money,couple of farm dogs and some heavy bull xs would do it in uk,I would suggest ABs but try finding a decent temperment without health problems in one.

id imagine a strong lurcher brought up doing that sort of work would take to it like a duck to water

I agree. Although on the ground that we were running, I would go for a team of good, strong curs, the kind that can find and bail a pig. With a good bit of bone, and feet like iron. I'd worry less about speed, and more about durability, whilst still having the weight and power to stop / slow one down. In this country its a bit different. At least from where i've seen the boar.

I would like to see the German pointer hunt the boar.

We had one with us a gwp !!

[forest of dean redneck 11,543]

Yeah,I didn't get to see it though,lol

But no I'd like to see one do it,seen the pics online,just like to see it for real.

Wouldn't of said she was any better than any of the other breeds there tbh mate good bitch give her that though

Never mind the terrain or the fact that the majority of the team was green, the fact that there was so much other game around that was off limits must have made life a difficult.

 

If it was like shelling peas I can't imagine it'd be worth travelling across Europe for. Live, learn, regroup, adapt and try again.

 

I look forward to seeing how things develop!

we should have put a donk on it that would have sorted things out.
