madhunter 16 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 me and mate was talking today about these deer and wondering if it was possible for a dog to take one of these beast by itself as they are very large or would you need a couple of dogs on a buck what you think Quote Link to post
Straightline 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Yes, a dog can single handed even though it has to be a decent size dog, though its more about technique. If the dog prefers a throat/body hold then the dog must be a fair size. However, mu 26" bitch has taken a couple but goes for the legs. Not the best take down hold I admit as its fraught with danger to the dog itself from injury. But once down she would slip her hold and pin it by the throat. Bucks will turn on the dog though and one butted her off twice before a take down took place. Quote Link to post

We are talking fallow here mate i would like to see one be tripped and then grabbed by a neck hold as easily as that i dont think it goes like that myself but wont call anyone a liar just can`t believe it Quote Link to post
Straightline 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 All I can say is that she has Royston. She always has done it that way and took 14 combined single/dual roe 1st season and 25 roe, 2 fallow 2nd season. both fallow being single. Dont get me wrong as their tumbling shes straight on them and the one that butted her took some pulling. Quote Link to post
