[ Lucky sod , the wifes old man lives in Texas and we are thinking of pissing off for good in the next couple of years. JOEB If.... i didn't live here i would live in Texas, for sure. you can run enough wild hogs, coyotes and jack rabbits legally there to make you sick, stick to west and southwest Texas. p.s. i think just the panhandle of Texas is bigger than all of England, lol
-
if...... I lived in a place where running dogs on game was banned, I would move to where it was legal...... oh......... I guess I did, Thank god for Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas Colorado can go to hell

brought this up for dan to see coyote and dogs, are the pics still here?
-
Hey Dan, nice to see you on here. Two types of hunting coyotes, using scent hounds (Walker, Trigg, July types) to run in rough cover can take hours but is fun, or coursing where staghounds run mostly by site and if they catch it is usually within 100 yards to a mile(maybe up to 2 miles but not often). There is a post some pages back in the lurcher section where Chilli posted some pics of my dogs at coyote catch"For Badger". If you can call them in you can use the staghounds on any open area, but they have to have open room to get to the coyote. They will use their nose some, but nothing like

I have done crosses both ways, and there were long built keepers in both litters as well as some wastage in both, i just kept them and selected what i wanted and gave the stout ones to hog hunters, bob

[ Just gotta check with boss!!! Should be alright though!! any help appreciated!! Cheers dicky Are you a grown man or a kid? If you are a kid i would question getting a bull cross right off, there are easier dogs to handle out there. If you are a grown man, i would question my role as head of the house , Your wife should be taken into consideration, but you should be deciding whether to have a dog or not. P.S. get an american staghound lol

how come you run 3 dogs a quicker finish to the course,also, the best way to start young pups
-
Fast, like trying to run a course on a long winded whippet that is very canny Does that put it in perspective? just joking, but actually a good comparison

Herb knows dogs, that says it all. I wish I was half the hunter he is

hey Brett, he's the white dog you used to own, you know he can catch a jackrabbit I really like him, use him just on jacks, not coyote. P.S. the black gyp in the pics is related to your app dog, i was told she was a sister or half sister out of roberts breeding? Anyways, i like the hell out of her. I went thru quite a few dogs to find one i like as well as her. give me a call, i lost your number, I'd like to talk to you. i was down in New Mexico last weekend and was trying to get ahold of you but the winds and fires came up so bad that i left a day early bob in Oklahoma

so a coyote is more like a dog than a fox.... No, a coyote is a small WOLF, not a big fox or hairy dog. Coyotes are much faster and a whole lot tougher than red fox, although they don't twist and turn and dodge as well as fox. bull x's have been made and then graded back out to fast dogs, but there are plenty of tough staghounds to breed to without losing so much speed. The dogs have to be FAST enough to catch them or it doesn't matter how tough they are, lol

Rey, I believe I might have met met you a dozen or so years ago. I was hunting in Wyoming and stopped to eat at the Virginian restaurant. There was a group coursing up there and I walked the gallery the next morning for fun. I saw a black and white greyhound take a jack, several whippets that ran well (louis or lewis?) and I specifically remember a big beautiful "Valeska" Borzoi. Dates and years and people are hard to remember, but some dogs are not. bob

So you got to judge with Jo-Anne and you got to see some Borzoi from our kennel. Here are some photos from the last hunt I went to in Wyoming. http://personal.palouse.net/valeska/wy-nov-05.html Hi Rey, I was under David first day and Jo-Anne second day, had a great time and got to see plenty of jacks and nice dogs, in addition to a group of especially nice people and a few characters, lol. Were the dogs from your kennel the ones from Colorado? I am glad I left my dogs at home since the wind came up Sunday and blew most of east New Mexico into Texas, leaving no chance for visible cour

I was asked to help judge a two day coursing event in New Mexico this past weekend. We got to judge about 25 runs, all were registered dogs, salukis, borzoi, whippets, greyhounds. Some were desert bred salukis from the middle east and also some imported coursing line salukis from the UK. I believe I was asked because I have no breed preference or kennel affiliation, I can appreciate a good dog no matter the breed or owner. Anyway, I enjoyed myself and saw some better dog work than I had anticipated. I still wouldn't trade any of them for my saluki x stag x coldblood bred by Dutch Salmon or m

These dogs are all just coyote bred staghounds, for lack of a better name. They come slick or shaggy in the same litters, no real difference in the dogs. They have been bred best to best for decades if not a hundred years to catch and kill coyotes and wolves, with whatever crosses were thought to help along the way, ie. old fashioned wolfhound and deer hound, greyhound, a little shot of pitdog or airedale, etc. Whatever worked was used, whatever didn't (couldn't or wouldn't) was culled, that simple. The black gyp has pitdog top and bottom, but has been bred for speed and ability to finish. Yo

i'll pack a throw away camera with me next time out. I'm not usually good for pics, i wind up losing or breaking the camera when out with the mutts. bob

the first pic is of a small, very dark female caught by my slick stag gyp "Timex" and her year old pup "Saker", his first time helping. The second pic is of a good large male coyote. I was hunting with a pair of brothers who had some nice young white pups. We spotted this male about 3/8 of a mile out, snuck up to about a hundred yards and slipped my Timex gyp and my big shaggy male(not in the pics) along with the boys young pups. They lined him out5 and took him over a pond and he made it thru a tight fence. My shag male didn't fence, was acting stupid. The black slick sailed the fence and

i'll give you $ 46.27 for that blaze face mutt, TAKE IT, i think it's my final offer

we don't want to hear about the coursing, tell me how pretty his feet are! :11: . .(good job, we're well pleased for you )

dammit Kye :aggressive: , going to missouri and didn't even tell me. the dogs are legged up and i could run there as easy as kansas this weekend, show you what li'l Reno can do, even let you pet him when its done am taking Reno, Dutch, Timex for coyote; Tia, Tina, and Cotton for jacks. if you want to drop down, i'm going to Lubbock and Amarillo next weekend, you could run with me and catch a flight out of Texas or Oklahoma City instead of nasty old missouri
