Good deer dogs (pure)

The average whitetail looks about the same size as a fallow deer.

Didn't a member on here import a  staghound from the states??? Then put it to his lurcher???  Or have I been smoking too much??? Any help would be appreciated

Why Pure? and what I'd choose to knock over MJ or roe etc would be different to what i take on to see Reds on Exmoor.

I’m pretty sure that folk like Dan edwards an them guys had some awsome yote dogs but even they said they couldn’t get near to most healthy deer, could be wrong tho

I'd have thought a lurcher would stop a deer in just like they can here.

Most deer caught in woods are unlucky. They either get pushed into the dog by another dog, break too late and get pulled over in a few yards as they break from cover or happen to run across a track or ride at the wrong moment, or just run into something. Only a few are coursed flat out through the woods and pulled over as would be in an open field. 

Not many juks going to last long coursing deer flat out in Woodlands,like you say better chance out in open .

I have the pup bottom of picture, on the right. She is 7 months old tomorrow, 28ins at the shoulder & 27 kilo. I collected her from Myersbg & couldn't ask for a better pup. American Stag/Collie Grey dam & DH/Collie Grey sire. I will try to pup up some photos when I can get her to stand still.

Like everything , more a dog does better it gets at it .

Big Ron’s had a few 1/2s that excelled in the woods, these were on the bigger deer thou , all my dogs are out everyday / nite in woods , playing , exercising, working  etc sometimes I don’t even hit the fields just lamp woods as it holds everything I need .

what breeds excluding lurchers can work deer in a woodland/plane area, (it is legal where I live btw). I have a Black lab x bull x collie bitch who is rapid on squirrel and rabbit/hare in extremely woody areas, on the east coast there are no speedy lurchers around, the lurchers in the states for the most part are just slow greyhounds with funny coats, no real footing or speed, I would love to be wrong about that tho.

I was thinking of a track bitch or a borzoi but I really don't know so any info would be great.

No dout some juks get a nack for it but I Think a track bitch would end up smashed or dead running deer in forests .think best way is to push them out into the open then let the runner do its job .

I find it hard to walk through the woods without falling over dead /fallen trees and get ripped clothing on brambles and fall into ditches and that's a walk lol
