Runthemhard 7 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 does anyone run a lurcher with tracking blood? for hunting in wooded areas my frist thought would be a pointer x that could be cut in after the hounds jumped game 1 Quote Link to post

Qbgrey 4,091 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 My bull whippet can track,he's a bloody expert on it.use him at night after a shot be let off.can run full pelt on the scent nose down.not missed many,if he gets near but can't locate he quarters the ground. 2 Quote Link to post
Runthemhard 7 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 does he get it from the bull or whippet blood Quote Link to post
terryd 8,430 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 I would say the bull. Mine has bull in and hunts like a hound 2 Quote Link to post
Qbgrey 4,091 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Not sure,I suspect the bull but not 100 %on that,I got laughed at by my rifle shooting mates when I took the lurcher to see if I could get him tracking wounded vermin as I don't like a animal getting clipped and running on suffering.got them out of trouble 100 of times. 1 Quote Link to post

Daniel cain 45,480 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Foxhound or gwp blood x into a runner should produce what your after, also terrier blood 1 Quote Link to post
Aussie Whip 4,100 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Any hunting dog will use it's nose when needed,even all running dog blooded. 4 Quote Link to post
moonlighter 1,164 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 I find most lurchers will follow scent if it’s there, but most I’ve come across won’t actively search for a scent to follow. Quote Link to post
terryd 8,430 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Some are just sight orientated and using there nose is a half arsed effort Quote Link to post
