bird 9,872 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I live next to a place that has reds in the park. I'm not a long dog man but read your posts out of interest. Often the deer are right up to my boundary fence and I often think about posts claiming to take them. The big lads are seriously big fecking animals, I know they are park deer but they are are a big lump on the hoof. The hinds I can see would be doable but the big boys it would take some dog to take one down single handed....looking at close quarters the size of them I would say no.... As you say mate, the hinds bloody big never mind the Stags , was over one day at Cannock chase staffs, few years back , and it was in jan had been snowing few days before , and some of the ground was hard . just mooching about , went to this field , the gate was 1/2 open , the bottom of the gate was wedged solid in to the floor, where mud/water had frozen it, they no way could move it, to close or open , it was stuck fast, me and a mate couldn't not move it no way. Anyway the dogs were just mooching about in front, when they knocked these red hinds up, they ran down the field after them, one came up the track to this gate a big hind, it hit the gate if it wasn't there , christ they are bloody strong animals , the deer got away and we got he dogs back and carried on with our mooch, dogs knocked few rabbits out, but that was it , it only lasted 5-7 mins with the deer , never seen any more but bloody hell it get the old heart pounding lol . 2 Quote Link to post

We do a lot of land up round there, even some hinds are big ole things, nice place to live Yes, it's a nice spot, you've probably been past mine if you've been been the back way round the park. Some of the stags are huge and real nice to see in the summer once they get their headgear. They chop them off for the rut so they don't twat each other... bit of a of an oddball the landowner....

Daniel cain 45,146 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Watched and heard them out on the hills last time we stayed up in scotland -if your lucky enough to get close enough with a dog,you will be horrified at the speed and ground they cover-fallow and roe are no comparison imo, the wild ones are different to the park bred deer .atb dc 3 Quote Link to post

Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Seen plenty in The New Forest,..big old things.... My old dogs never made any impression on them ,..and in a way I was glad.... Also walked into large Reds on Scottish Isles,...plus had a few runs, down in the West Country,...ugly girt feckers....more akin to Donkeys than Deer... Can they be taken with lurchers that are committed to the task ?,...I believe they can.... However,... it would not be a pretty sight,...sure, a buzz and a definite turn on, for them as needs it no doubt,...but,..the job would hold no interest for me.... 16 Quote Link to post

DogMan85 722 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I know it can be done with the right number of dogs but I don't know of anyone who has pulled one down and kept one down with one dog. If you've got a game dog and you slipped it on one single handed the dog is going to be in big trouble if it comes to terms with the animal. 1 Quote Link to post
