Tan's had a busy life then fairplay!

Seen it myself too RT, dogs hunting then riseing one running him in and amazingly soon comeing off a mark! Also watched foxes go in (rock earth) and not be marked when the dogs arrive. Damn good marking dogs too. Thats why its easy to believe your dogs will mark everyone but some earths piles etc must be so vast as far as the dogs concerned they've gone?

I watched one the other day (the dog was marking the living daylights out of this one lol) through a gap in rocks actually squeezing his way into a safer part of the "earth" definatley would have been a big ask for a small terrier to follow him!

I wonder is there a huntsman- lurcher owner on here that believes he can mark every fox thats to ground in rocks?

Great thread - i think we'd all be surprised how often a fox is to ground in rocks and we struggle to mark him?

Better still if the handsets can be located by other handsets (similar to the collars) so youd know where your mate is (or find his lost handset! lol

Great pics FP. Looks like you kept them busy!

Even Merthyr looks good from the right angle Wales1234 lol

He was born not far from me, another nice fella, had some great conversations R.I.P. Allan

I've trained a dog to come back with a beep on an electric collar- certainly came in handy a few times before GPS- but i wouldn't think it would stop your dog from hunting good scent. Sounds a handy lurcher if only you wanted it to hunt lol.

Thats one woolly fox!

Nothing wrong at any time of year with foxes genuinely being controlled where it needs to be done- the maddening thing is the amount that only get out this time of year when its fairly easy to come across vixens and cubs to ground.

Horrible feeling when that roof ladder slips an inch or two!! For a few seconds you just don't know if it's going to stop.I keep a hammer ready... emergency brake! lol

Thats frightening! lol Jim. This clip is from the first farm to lamb last spring.

Jim Meads used to run a lot to get the great hound pics.
