Hunting Lad 50 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) Allright lads & lasses Just wondering how you guys would rate bullx's on day time deer? Are they any good? or would you have prefered another cross pre ban? I fancy getting a bullx for retrieving shot fox on the lamp but also would want it to track deer Would you say bullx would be the right cross for what I am after Cheers Ben Edited October 3, 2008 by Hunting Lad Quote Link to post

artic 595 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Im not into these Bull x's, but have seen SOME good ones take deer. Around here we have a lot of water deer, muntjac, they wouldnt be suited here for that reason alone. Depends on really if you get a racy build one and not a power house that has no speed, stamina to get to them and stick like glue with them. A good saluki x will do the job, entered correctly.

darza 8 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 theres nothing in your requirements what any lurcher x couldnt do,try looking at what land you'l mainly be running on aswell,small feilds big feilds,rough ground,long slips.and see if the bull x is suited to that,because most lurchers shouldnt have a problem with any of that quarry, Quote Link to post
