DEERMAN 1,018 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) On a serious note . I had a 3/4 grey bitch that puled fair bit of game over never ran er on big reds tho. personally I think I good red stag I run fairly sith two strong runners could be pulled over but would have to big strong thpes in my opinion . Atbfew years ago me and a mate were rabbiting one night, it was in jan .it was cold night and the ground was very hard, so we kept by the wood so it was not over exposed , and bit softer ground there . we came to one field and the gate was stuck froze solid to the floor , the gate was only open 10in wide , no way could we get through it, the dog only just about, we couldn't move it no feckin way.anyway we climbed over, start to walk the edge of field , when thedogs shot off in front . then they went to wards us flat out behind a red hind , the deer ran past hit the gate if it was like feckin matchstick , the gate slammed right back to hedge , it ran through to other end of wood and vanished . the power of the bloody thing was unreal , don't know about dog taking them you need a feckin lion lolYou only have to look at there back to see the power but for big deer you needed big dogs..... big dogs are a must Imo doing the big ones it certainly helps things it did when I used to do them big dogs aren't needed technique is more important....never used to own a dog over 26tts and use to take all the different types of deer preteen Edited January 23, 2015 by DEERMAN 3 Quote Link to post

FUJI 17,148 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yaaaaaaaawn haha ... technique,and strength and obviously a bit of balls to get fired in initially as Reds even hinds often stand in excess of 40 odd inch to the shoulder..they can and did look quite intimidating to many dogs..a big tall dog isn't necessarily the answer imo..anyhow who cares these days..some of us old cnuts were lucky enough to run the big uns many years ago..they maybe took away our right to hunt them but our memories stay with us forever ") 6 Quote Link to post

DogFox123 1,379 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I've even seen Red Deer in South Yorkshire, spotted them on the way home from work one morning, we hunted Deer further south though. 1 Quote Link to post

They are very nomadic creatures mate and there is always a possibility of seeing them in strange places...it's not uncommon for Stags in particular to travel 40-50 miles away from the hinds at certain times of year more so spring/summer before returning for the rut..I enjoy getting out into the wilderness and on occasions bumping into them in places where ive not encountered them before..amazing animals. 4 Quote Link to post
