Wilf have you been out with the lamp in your area?is it quite rocky in your area? I have mate, of course, probably the first thing I did when I moved. Both on foot and in the jeep…… Its small fields, hill and rises, bog land, rushes, Forestry blocks, sheep on one, cattle on another, holes and drop offs and all sorts.

No offence but a dog outweighs a fox probably 5 or 6 fold. It's never a fair contest in my opinion. A lurcher to me is a hunter of edible prey. A lot of guys are proud of their dogs because they can kill multiple foxes on the lamp. I have no problem with that. But for me ,it's not what they were bred for. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The dogs I mentioned earlier would kill absolutely anything you pointed them at, mine wouldn’t, but those would. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I've got a little whippet here that loves to mix it with foxes. She thinks she's a bull cross. Some dogs attack anything they see in the lamp, others are more cautious. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm terrified it will come to a sticky end. Been reinforcing my dog run and garden fencing. I'm continually checking where the dogs are. Hunting dogs can be a nightmare. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OldPhil 5,656 Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Them deer are everyfeckingwhere... Different when hunting for profit or the craic,...but now, they are a total embarrassment ..
