Puppy show . . . . Our Old English crackers!
alimac replied to Hannah4181's topic in Hunting With Hounds
A slow or slower hound is detrimental to a pack that can hunt at pace, wether or not it's the deepest scenting hound to walk this earth makes not difference. A dog of 11 years can't keep up with other hounds on any type of ground that are say 3rd 4th 5th season. Not even the pack your brother left season before last hunts them nearlly that old and that's saying something, as they are one of the slowest packs in the land, lol And if it's kept to as u say to keep the pack right on a check then in my opinion the rest can't be worth much neither. It would be interesting to see how many folk we -
Where does it state that?

alimac replied to Hannah4181's topic in Hunting With Hounds
Out of interest what job is he doing in his 10th season? Because if he's still hunting with the pack, then it don't say much for the speed of the rest. -
M you should have known by now most on here are worse than a kettle for all the hot air they spout out

are you saying when vixens are cubbing they give less scent if so i then i think thats very interesting another survival instinct of old charlie boy/ girl.great thread by the way I personally think the majority do. Theres no getting away from it there a bit of a mystery, a bit lik the scent i guess, maybe we should just give up Any way keep it up, 4 pages and 40 odd replies and not a wanker in sight

It was crap, only lifted 1, pissed down all day.. cheers moo, hopefully they go well this thursday, weve the Shooting Times out doing a artical on the hunting/keeper relationships in scotland, ironically the meets at Br...x. Should be interesting

Still 2 weeks to go for us..

If they left a fox and took on the roe they shouldnt be in the kennel, probably due to not being entered well enough, you might expect it once or twice with a first/second season hound thats a bit too sharp and thinks it knows it all, but for the majority to do so is bad form.. I think im right in saying the deer scent is stronger to a dog than that of a fox (how the found that out im not sure) but is still no excuse I saw on sky, i think a belgium malinwa (sp) tracing a scent of a old boy that was missing, he had been missing for days and if i remember right almost a week, from a sniff of hi

Arguments? didnt realise they had been one or did i miss something? enlighten me.

Its a difficult one, Id say most packs would split to some degree, but its only really when they split that you know another fox is afoot, how many times would it be known they had crossed the fresh line of another fox other than the one being hunted unless they split?? especially in country that is blessed with bigger blocks of cover were they can be hunting a good while before anything is viewed.

Do people get Foxs on there certificates for .22 rimfires, mine only says Vermin and Ground game, blah blah.The reason i ask is iv not long had a humdinga with my new FAO after moving, it started when during a general blether when he was doing my check, he stated if he saw or had proof i had shot and killed a fox with my rimmy he would look to have my ticket revoked, after wiping the tea off his face id just spat out during a fit of laughter, i asked for proof id be in breech of my ticket as id class a fox as vermin, he produced his Homo Office Guidelines, and showed me a graph where fox and .

Just because you/he thinks the dog is in sound condition and a niggle wasnt to blame, doesnt mean it hasnt got one, the body is a strange old thing were little things can make a big difference. but who knows it could have just plain old jibbed
-
"think before you post" and admitting to being present when certain things being jibbed on is what you would call a bright move? classic

Moo im afraid your wrong, again. It was infact emmerdale,it must have been a thought prevoking episode as i also came across the thought of how similar you are to sam dingle, spookly similar Weasle the foxs definatly seam to have the ability to suck up there scent when headed/shot at. I guess its the same as the vixen uses to reduce the amount of scent she amits through cubbing. So why do we think this is? Do they have the ability to switch off there scent glads and after being headed etc only leave a line from the vegitation / earth they disturb, hence the sudden failer of being able to t

Good result for hunting and the tax payer, nice to see they saw sense

bootsha it should get some minds ticking over and bring some decent replies with a bit of luck. ... yep she graced my kennels/house all her days. hedz, your right the only ones that will ever know are the hounds, iv told ours there getting left in kennels tomorrow if they dont let me in on the craic by dawn.,

Thats what i think but it seams to easy a answer, lol. and is probably only a part of how/why they manage to distinguish the differences.. i cant really argue with any theories that arise as the subject has me stumped..
-
hedz, tell me about it, its played on my mind so much i even had to ask on here,lol.. As you say there will be alot of folk that have spent alot of time trying to figure it out, and id dare say there will be even more theories about the subject.. A hound knowing (or hopefully) that the pack has already hunted a certain line over a fresh virgin drag is more understandable, as the foil from 15 couple should make even the daftest of hounds know somethings not right with the line its thinking of taking on. im getting a lend of a book soley on scent thats bigger than the bible, im sure my answer w
