Pre-Ban question ?

[Adam-RunningDog 1]

Just curious, wel in pre ban you lot hunted deer, fox and hare.

how many dogs would you slip on a deer and a fox and a hare at once. i watched a few videos and it is always 2 dogs on a hare, but i heared of deer been taken down by a few dogs and only really heared of people slipping one dog on a fox at a time.

So what did you lot do ( Pre-Ban ) haha

1 dog on everything, you shouldn't need 2. Only time i have used 2 is to start a pup off with an experienced dog.

Well thats reasonable but i have heared of people leaving three or 4 lurchers on a big red stag and i hear alot of people leave two dogs on fox, i have only ever let 1 on anything pre ban.

thats the diference ,how big the animal was that was being hunted ,those that say 1 dog on a deer ,probibly was only after roe or females of the bigger species ,because the truith is they would not have be in to mutch of a hurry to have let their dog go one up on a fallow or red stag that would have stood its ground : : :: :and if a fox had a nasty hold on a dog they would with out a dought let a second dog in if they had one.

I like to work my dogs single handed but if we are out for numbers then we run doubled up. But a good dog should be able to take most things single handed no problem obviously apart from the big stags etc.

I like single handed personally but to a start a pup or get rid of a pest for a farmer,then ill use two,never run deer so not to sure about them

 

cheers

i know the awnser, 1 dog on hare id rekon 3 on a red stag or 1-2 on a roe and possibaly 1-2 on fox depending if it's a large one oe a pup enjoy

 

edit to say, it does depend on what dog your using. but im getting technical .
