Come on now fella's they werent that hard too take get them breaking from cover and they were pritty much in the bag, Had a mate of mine yrs ago now that had two little small lurcher types 18'' and half and 22'' them pair of dogs killed 100's ,Season in season out and ya they got ripped and puntured but it was'nt like it happened everytime they hit a buck. And that was his main quarry
