  1. I enjoy rabbit quite a bit, as it is a staple food here. If the rabbit is chased or snared, then the hormones released will make the meat a little more tough and chewy, even give off an odour, so I soak it in baking soda to neutralize it. But the rabbit tastes best if shot while it is not under duress. Just shoot it in the head, only. I am not a fan of eating the heads of animals so it's all head shots for me. I am an absolute believer in proper hunting/harvesting techniques that make the meat taste good. To cook, we like it in the pressure cooker (mmm, nice and tender), or my wife
  2. It is time to start tracking them down!!
  3. Hey! I was wondering if there were many Canadians on this site. I have quite a few hunting stories, but they are mostly with sled dogs and riffles, and I still need to look around the site a little more and figure out the best place to post different things. As a side note, I am looking into getting a couple of staghound crosses, and wondering how they will do on the rough terrain of the north. Have you had any experience with this breed? On rough ground?
  4. Thanks, I will. I only know of one person here in Canada that has a Patterdale. I would guess that there are more, but they certainly are not very popular yet here. But they do have an exceptional reputation over here. Do you know of anyone in Canada that has working Patterdales? My dogs are all just under a year. I have only just started with JRT's and I am just learning about them. I use mostly sled dogs, and some of them are exceptional hunters, but they live outdoors and are mostly only interested in running, and my indoor dog passed away recently, (she was a Rottweiler and a g
  5. I would wait atleast untill your dogs are 1 year old, before I send them into a fox's den. All dogs are individuals, but a fox can scare a young dog so much that it wont go into a den later. Train your dogs on rats and other small vermins and go for the fox den later Thanks for the advice. Realising that each dog is different, around what age should I start them on foxes? Will they show signs that they are ready? All opinions welcome!!
  6. Create a account on www.youtube.com or if u already have one, just upload your video there and then post it here Thanks. I will look into getting a youtube account.
  7. I have a couple of Jacks and they are looking good. They are almost a year old and they are showing good promise. We have quite a few foxes here, but so far as yet I cannot entice the dogs to enter a den. Hopefully they will get braver as they get a little older??? I wouldn't mind some helpful suggestions from anyone who has experience with these dogs. As a side note, I am down south at the moment visiting relatives on their farm, and just Thursday the children came running in yelling that they found a rat. I got my little terriers out and two of them paid little attention. But my on
  8. I would have to agree whole heartedly. I have found, aquired, been given, too many excellent dogs over the years that were treated poorly or trained poorly or handled poorly. It always takes a great deal of time to bring the dog up to standard, then they still have times when they revert. It is a shame.
  9. Hello All I am a dog musher from Northwest Territories, Canada. I live on the land, fishing and hunting for my food, even raised children out here. I do get close enough to town once in a while to get on the internet and update my web site (although I haven't updated it for a while now). I am facinated with hunting dogs. I have a couple of Jacks and they are looking good. They are almost a year old and they are showing good promise, chasing rabbits, but I have no idea how they will turn out. I wouldn't mind some helpful suggestions from anyone who has experience with these dogs. W
  10. Well now, Great Northern Pike is one of my favourite fish, and I prepare it in a few different ways. The first, and my favourite is to fillet the fish, then turn the fillet over and cut out the y bones. I end up with two fillets per side. Then cut into pieces and deep fry with chips. No bones and geat taste. My wife is a pro at removing the y bones and not the meat. The second way is to skin it and wrap it in foil, stuffed with butter and onions and maybe a little bit of hot sauce, and bake slowly in the coals. When done right just take your fork and gently rake the meat off the bo
