  1. Lots and lots of walking, and if you can, find someone else with an experienced dog to bring him on. I think with hill type work, it’s either in them or not.
  2. They were a bit wasted on the lamp, daytime hunting them with little dogs and a runner is the sport of kings, some of the most fun I’ve had in the uk, along with bushing boar, but that’s another story!
  3. Thanks mate! Those lads were serious. I don’t use face book, but wanted to try to get in touch with them, want to ask if they’re I’ll let this welsh hill billy come out hunting with them.
  4. Munty are a lot smaller then a sheep, range in size quite a bit, but a big one would be collie size maybe, smaller ones, size of a fox
  5. I would say no and yes lol. There are ‘types’, but different types will very much suit different ground. I ran a line bred beagle / teckle / terrier / spaniel back home, which was great. Came down south and on this ground etc it was a nightmare. For me bushing dogs fit into three types - pures (terrier, spaniel, hound etc), and then ones with hound and ones without. Ie terrier beagle vs spaniel beagle. What suits depends on ground and how you hunt them - ie on own, in a pack, flushing to guns or runners, or hunting runners alongside etc.
  6. They appear to browse in the woods and hedges at night, rather than graze in open fields.
  7. We used to have a good foreign contingent. Dan Edwards, Uphill Doc and Stuntman putting you loads of stuff on yotes with stags, that Canadian guy with the yote hounds, and Ned Makim putting up epic threads on hunting big boars in oz. Now we have a load of guys arguing about terrier peds. Re the honey badger - there was a video on YouTube of them steaming across the desert in it after yotes but I can’t find it anymore. I wonder what those guys are all doing now,much the same I expect.
  8. Re Yote dogs and trucks. Anyone who’s been on here a while (10 years?) remember the honey badger????
  9. Coping with life just about, couple of minor injury’s but they will be grand.
  10. They do look like proper little aliens. They fascinate me!
  11. When you look at the weaponry they are carrying, coupled with a low centre of gravity and the dog being above and around the sharp bits when they catch (rather than well below), you can see why many moons ago, before the ban, they could do a surprising amount of damage.
  12. This thread also reminds me of the days when this site had lots of folk on it that did a lot, knew a lot, and we used to have the odd interesting discussion about hunting. Seems like a very very high proportion of armchair hunters, dreamers and kids on this section now, but I suppose they are the only ones you can safely talk about it, you can’t get in trouble for talking / hinting about the hunting you don’t actually do.
  13. It’s a pup. You see it a bit in well bred bull x sometimes. Just confident, if it doesn’t take the piss out of you, ie if you aren’t weak, that confidence will be a very good thing as an adult I think
  14. Munty bucks are tough little buggers and put up a surprising fight for their size. If dog grabs them by neck / shoulders, it runs risk of getting a spike in its face / neck and with a leg hold it’s amazing how they will spin round and try to take the dogs shoulder/ flank with their little sharp tusks. Skin like leather to. Good dogs develop the knack of bowling them over and onto the throat like a fox etc.
  15. Them dogs wouldn’t stick it here. But then they aren’t digging what we do, how we do. I’m not saying the guy is legit .......but I don’t know enough about what they do to call his dogs out. Ive seen some very good looking, and very shit dogs over the years, and seen quite a few dogs that look like they couldNt achieve something they did. Mostly Lurchers like - but you’ll know what I mean. Also he’s a yank, they are all f***ing odd.
  16. Should stick him over a good grey.
  17. Remember sitting in a hedge, and one of those bloody things coming over the fence into the field. Not a snowballs chance of hell and it knew it. I seriously doubt a lot of dogs would ever try.
  18. I keep thinking Tank that their black dogs just look like black Russel’s or plummers etc
