stabba 10,745 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 the greatest test for any lurcher is by taking it out of it's comfort zone.pushing it beyond that which it is used to. Be that rabbits or roe. test its mental strength aswell as its physical. 3 Quote Link to post

morton 5,368 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Before any ban, in your eyes ( reminder everyone worked different quarry!) what quarry was your favourite to hunt and why? What do you think the best test was , rat, rabbit, hare , fox or deer? Daytime I'd say a hare or a deer and night time would be a fox! There is and as always been only one thing a lurcher as ever needed to do,please its owners hunting lifestyle,if it needs to do anything more you should not own it. 3 Quote Link to post

Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Don't think he's on about doing it for a long time. Just which quarry is the hardest/most testing to catch when being run. That's what I thought...still sticking to a hare 1 Quote Link to post

stagmad 91 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 unless someone has ran there dogs on everything there is to chase it's a bit hard to say, as has been said before different dogs for different game. A rabbit can be a challenge for a 30 inch staghound like a deer would be for 20 inch whippet . I hunt fairly rough country for fox and we (me and dogs) miss more than we get but I like it, when they do make a catch it is very rewarding. 1 Quote Link to post
