some coyote hunting pics

victor-Its not uncommen for the stags to split and each take their own coyote in a race, but we dont normally drop just one dog at a time.

 

loftmonkey-"Hotblood" means a dog off the racing track. Most have all the speed a fella needs, but are far from being "coyote dogs" They dont handle the rough ground well, they dont fight well, and they are not near durable enough, but crossed on the right stag blood they can give you an extra gear.

 

Take care.

What if you let your hounds out on a domestic dog accidentally or hypothetically? Would they still kill it? How are you stag hounds with terriers and husky type dogs . Joe Kelly

Here is a little description of one of the races.

 

We head back to the wheel line country and each start to take a road. "Capps" calls and says he has one spotted. Its eating on a dead sheep, but in a bad spot to try to get a drop. "Jasshole" comes over on the motorcyle and we come up with a plan for him to circle wide around it and try to push it out to where one of us can get a drop. "Hayhound and I swing wide behind him while "Capps and Workman" go ahead to watch for it to come out in front. We are flying thru the middle of some wheel lines and the coyote breaks ahead of us. We get to a spot that looks good we drop the drivers side box, "Peep, Zorro and Mach" all race out but after about 200 yards we see the coyote is going to make a big ditch line with alot of cover. "Hayhound" pushes the baja hard and is flanking the dogs. We see the coyote push thru the cover and hook left. He wants to run in the cover but with the baja parellell to him he stays just outside it on the other side. The cover is about 4-5 feet high and we have no idea whats in front of us. The dogs on the passenger side box can see him and are screaming to be dropped. The first three dogs hit the ditch and cover and dont know where the coyote went. Some how "Peep" spots it and starts hooking to him. "Hayhound" starts hollering "hows it look, hows it look" well Im thinking he wants to know if he can drop the other box, so I look back at the dogs to be sure they still see the coyote and say "'go ahead" well he wanted to know how the ditch looked, and figures its ok to plunge in at top speed somehow. The next thing I know I go from looking at dogs behind me, to feeling the earth fall out from under me. We drop into the ditch and all I see is the bottom coming hard, I push back to brace myself for the crash but by some miracle the baja doesnt land on its nose and we are catapulted out the other side of the ditch! I see nothing but clouds for a second, then the horizon and THEN I feel the baja touch ground. "Hayhound" is still in the throttle, and turns toward the coyote. It has really gapped the dogs, but when it sees us on its side of the cover it breaks out into the open and "Peep" starts to cut the angle. After about 300 more yards she really starts to close on it. At one point it was looking like she wouldnt catch up, and "Capps and Workman" decided to send her some help. They came in from the top of the field, and as the coyote barreled past them with our dogs strung out behind, they dropped. They came in as a blur from my side but I was so focused on watching "Peep" try to make the catch I didnt see who all was on the ground. I remember "Mustache, Grey and Grace" swooping in. "Peep" takes a lunge at the coyote but it side steps her, then "Mustache" trys and the coyote stumbles, thats all "Grey" needs and he rolls the coyote hard. The rest the dogs arrive in a bunch. "Grey" has the coyote by the head, "Zorro" gets the throat, and "Grace" is in the chest. Its a REAL short fight, as with those 3 on a coyote its lights out right now!

 

Take care.

I think I can answer that the question about the dog usually they will stop when they figure out what they are chasing is not prey. As for the terrier it is all in how the hounds are brought up.

Rocks is dead on the money but of course there are always situations that aint good. Some of these Stags can literally not be trusted around nothing, not even each other at times but those kinds are usually dealt with quickly when somebody becomes aware of it. Problem is that sometimes, you just dont know til its too late and with these dogs if it kicks off, it is usually too late.

[Hi, just read your remark about deerhounds in Wyoming hunting Coyotes. We brought 5 purebred, registered Deerhounds over to WY and Texas, all to be used for Couote hunting and breeding Coyote hounds ( and 1 first cross Deerx Greyhound too ) they all are doing well over there. But I have no pics off them or their offspring

 

Good hunting
