lewismac1 1 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 theres not a dog in this country can or could take a red stag single handed. and any one who says there is are reading to many comics of eating to many mushrooms you are spot on brookie 100% Ok ive been reading this post biting my tounge.. I personally dont like slipping multiple dog's on deer, It's not my cup of tea. I think deer deserve more respect- As does the dog's that get killed in the process. Brookie- How do you know that one has'nt? Quote Link to post
fursty ferret 2 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 my dads mate had a shit hot deer dog, would kill sika stags all nite, he was that confident the dog would do a red stag he put him on one, as the dog got up behind him the stag kicked out and that was the end of the dog. would love to see it done single handed, but i agree, dont think theres a dog in the country that could, two good dogs can.

MATTI 34 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 had a DeerHX Grey 32'' always thought he would take a red but never got the chance, i;m working a BullX at the moment and came across a Big Red by accident and when he was running behind it i was sh**ing myself as to what the outcome would be, these animal's are awesome i don't dought dog's have done it but i think a bit more of mine Quote Link to post

Brookie- How do you know that one has'nt? I think I know what you are saying about not slipping more than one dog at a time. The question is do you want to catch one though. I will admit that my dogs will not bring one down solo but they will not give up trying. I respect them but I also want to catch them. What use is a dead dog to me? How many dogs have you seen die trying to catch them the mate? Quote Link to post
Guest it's all my land after 12 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) Took quite a few red deer (pre ban) in the 's nearly all hinds but a few younger males too, but not stags though saw plenty and these were the real big 'Exmoor' ones... one night had four (yes 4 ) experienced 4th or 5th season dogs on a stag these were two 3/4 g/h x 1/4 collies at about 25" tts, a 3/4 g/h x 1/4 d/h about 26"-27" tts, and a first cross saluki x g/h28"-29" tts all dogs made contact and the saluki was hanging from the neck his feet off the ground....this will give you some idea of the size of the beast it eventually ended up at a pig wire fence at the edge of a wood which it tumbled over throwing the dogs off as it made good its escape through the wood.. these were real experienced dogs responsible for killing many deer. But thats not saying it cant be done....this is another reason we then set about breeding bull crosses. Edited February 7, 2009 by it's all my land after 12 Quote Link to post

What I have found is that the stags can run with pretty much anything hanging off them but as soon as something has a grip of the head, neck or ear they soon come tumbling down. Quote Link to post
