some coyote hunting pics

[Dan Edwards 1,134]

Here are some pics taken last weekend in Idaho. These are some of my buddies out there and their coyote dogs. They took 11 in 3 days so not bad work on coyote.

A few more pics.

The yellow bitch on the right can smash a coyote by herself with ease.

These guys have some serious rockets in their pack. Dogs have speed and stamina and most importantly they can kill. The last part is just as important on coyote cause they are truly a test for a dog at the catch.

Obviously the little terrier was not in on the catch but they just let him out of the truck to pull a little fur.

To be totally honest with you, not all of them would just destroy a fox but yes very many of them would turn one inside out in a couple of shakes. These are big, strong, powerful dogs that can flat ass fly. Some probably have a little dash of everything in them somewhere, yes even bull blood but really they have just been bred and test for the last 200 years on coyote. I would say the majority of the blood in these dogs is just greyhound with a splash of deerhound here and there throughout the years.

Dan-Thanks for posting the pics for me...

A little about the pics. #1 Is the Baja rig. #2 Peep, Mach (hotbloodxstags) and Zorro (stag). Mach is a yearling just getting started. #4 Emma (stag) and Grace (bullxstag) #6 Emma, Grace, and Cookie (stagxwhippet) in the box. Rufus (stag) Lua (hotblood) Sage (hotbloodxstag) on the ground. The coyote in the middle was pushing 50 lbs. #7 Speedy and Deets. Speedy (stag) and Deets (Jagd) Speedy is only a 50-55lb gyp and is as fast a dog as I have ever seen. Deets even spent 28 hours, 389 feet in a pvc pipe with a coyote that weekend as well... #8 Bo (hotbloodxstag) on the ground, Mach and Grey (stag) in the box.

 

Take care.

Whats under the bug?

 

Nice going mate, racy looking dogs.

 

How do you course them?

 

Do you call them in, or just run the dogs at them?

[UphillDoc 278]

Thanks fellas, hope you enjoy seeing the pics almost as much as we had making them.

 

dan-I wouldnt feed a dog that couldnt/wouldnt smash a fox single handed.

 

ferret-Only one of the dogs in those pics carries any bull blood. The good stags are plenty tough, they dont need any bull blood, and thats saying something cause Im a bulldog man thru and thru!

 

artic-The space under the big box is where the terrier rides. The doors on the big box are opened from inside the vehicle, when the dogs spot a coyote in the open ground. The dogs then try to run it down and we follow in the vehicle if we can. I also do some calling with a couple dogs on occassion in the country too rough or thick to use the vehicles.

 

Take care.
