Rabbithunter 456 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Speaking pre-ban, has anybody ever taken double figures of deer in one session? Or perhaps more intrestingly, how many different species have you caught in one session? Quote Link to post
ianrob 2 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) Speaking pre-ban, has anybody ever taken double figures of deer in one session? Or perhaps more intrestingly, how many different species have you caught in one session? Hi mate Very nearly got double figures one night about ten years ago, ended up with nine. It was a wild December night and I was just about to flick on my lamp when I saw a red light, I thought bloody gamie, so I squatted down and pulled the dogs into the cover, but something didn't look right, so keeping low I sneaked forward leaving the dogs on stay. This old guy with a white beard appeared going YO,HO,HO, that was it, the dogs were off in a flash, the old guy's shouting no not Rudolf, oh! not Prancer. Nine I ended up with. Come on then who's got kids or Grandkids, there was Dancer, Prancer, Dasher, vixen,Comet, Cupid, Donner Blitzen, and of course Rudolf... YOU ASKED FOR THAT!!!

on-point 0 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 bloke who likes near me has taken 11 from one wood next to his house this year so far, dog is as keen as mustard on them but has a bust bone in its foot a couple of weeks ago so is off work. all roe but still quite a feat. all accidental as he walks his dogs past it every day and everyone knows you can't call off a lurcher once they start. but to add my own question - how would i start an 18 month lurcher on them, in theory? he might be of the type that gave good chase but slackened off when he caught them up although he would get a few turns in. he might just seem to loose interest/not like the size of it when he got close... he also might not even look at them in the lamp - just stares and stands still... was going to try to have a walk out with a dog that will bring them down but organisation seems difficult now. any ideas?

T78 4 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 he's pretty sharp, and will give good chase but won't put in that final hitjust lollops along behind them not really caring either way.... sounds as if he's still too young. but pre ban,i would have expected a dog to be doing them easily earlier than 18 month.
