Of course they will be much faster than a human, but a racehorse, nar.

God I’d kill to have a drink with either of those men. Different times of course but the sense of adventure that inspired them remains. In the US or Africa there’s every bit as much justification for hunting serious apex predators as we have in the uk with deer. But I’m not having that argument on here. Lol Fair play though everyone has their own mind and motivations. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got nothing against what anyone wants to do but I think sometimes there comes a point you get a bit killed out, and now I just understand and appreciate how everything works a bit better, we have already f****d the balance right up so we will always have to step in and address the balance ourselves as is happening with the badgers here 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There’s definitely a tendency amongst British ‘sportsmen’, or countrymen I guess, to be somewhat judgemental when it comes to the hunting of large game though. That’s all I was getting at really. Its not helped by folks with bags of cash and no class though. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 16,476 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 “Takes all quarry / fills the freezer” is an in vogue description for dog that in reality would get jacked if ran at more that three hares an afternoon never mind getting pulled all over A field by an 18 stone beamoth. those big reds and indeed the fallows if given half a mind could do you some serious damage. I was talking with a lad a while back and how he described the dog as not only the master of its quarry but also the insurance policy in event of a tricky customer kind of summed up the difference between the huge majority who are content to bath in the dogs achievements and those who seek to find its flaws. I know where I’d rather have stock from . 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep. Piss poor preparation = piss poor performance. What I don't understand is 30.06 is very common up there and if you've got eighty yard, surely 6 rounds right in the engine room ought to make a difference to an aerosol can of spray. Did he have a mate.? Was he /she armed.? What the he'll did they do. And if they broke ranks and legged it I would consider using one of those rounds on them. It used to be classed as cowardice in the face of the enemy. Mind a charging lion is quick. Edited October 2, 2020 by Meece Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Squirrel_Basher 17,101 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 In Canada the most feared mammal is the bull Elk in the rut ,followed by the bull moose ,grizzly then black bear .We saw black bears when we were there ,the sows being considerably smaller than the boars . The day we left there was a sow grizzly with two cubs walked through the centre of Banff .They closed the roads and stopped traffic and let her through ,gutted I missed it . The elk are massive ,a third bigger again than our reds and it’s no wonder people are killed when testosterone rises . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Imho not enough people are trying to break dogs and so not enough dogs are getting bred from that ever got pushed to limits. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
