  1. This is a pretty little bird that visits here in SW Ontario
  2. Coons can be the same as foxes in a lot of ways, and can be harder in others , it depends where the coon is and the individual, like i said before they're very dexterous with their claws and tend to grab a hold and rake, i'm always careful around water, coons are in their element in water and will quite happily grab a hold of your dog and drown it !!! doesn't matter how hard it is, i've seen this on occasions and have even had them try to drown one of my lurchers !!! If their ( the coon) near water they will always take the fight to the water , they're nasty little Ba%rds here's a few pic
  3. I love that lens (70-200) and like you say very versatile !!! here's another shot with her brother
  4. Buch, our hounds vary in size i have Doghounds that top 100lbs and some more like 60 or 70lbs and bitches slightly less, the lads your talking about could be running Walker hounds that resemble Harriers, some would be lucky to be 40lbs and might be struggling to tackle a full grown Coyote, on a quiet day i'd take out 14 couple so generally when they catch up with a coyote it all happens very quickly .
  5. this was shot with a Canon 40D and a 70-200 2.8L
  6. Our season starts in early August and we stop when the weather gets too bad (normally mid to Late December) here's a few pics of the hounds on quarry
  7. My old boss is going to hunt that pack ( the L&R Lanark&Renfew) i'm sure you'd be welcome but i do believe they've had their fair share of anti problems so i'd lay off taking pics till you have an amount of credibility
  8. These two were in a crawl space above a little gazebo shed kinda thing beside a frozen lake, i threw the russell up in and could tell there was more than one Coon in their so i threw up the Border/Russell for to take care of the second , after about an hour the first one bolted and the lurcher nailed him , the problem was when the terriers saw the lurcher having all the fun, bailed out of the crawl space to back up the Lurcher, Which was good in a way cos the other one must have moved to a better spot where the dogs could get at him and he backed into a corner, the wood was all rotten so i too
  9. My main Quarry out here with the terriers and lurchers is Racoon, they are a formidable Quarry that are very tough, a good sized boar coon can weigh as much as 25-30lbs and are wicked with their front claws. I run Russells and Borders and a couple of crossbred Russell/Borders, i like hard dogs mainly but do have a few that bay, the lurchers i have are a line i brought with me from the UK that are whippet/collie/greyhound, i'm now into my 4th Generation of this blood and find them great for the job and well able to do the job as well as being nice dogs around the house and are very Biddable,
  10. That is the one thing i didn't like about the B&F collar, it was so big and clumsy, i've heard B&F have brought out a smaller collar, when you have a collar the size of the older B&F ones your more inclined to have dogs get hung up, and if your dog is hard and not a bayer then you are gonna end up in trouble
  11. Thanks for the welcome lads, the collars are tracking collars, you can get some pretty big points on coyotes and if a hound gets spun out then its a lot easier to find them with a tracking collar on, it just takes a little time before you hunt putting on the collars and writing down the frequency numbers
  12. Always found them reliable , and i've had some big digs on racoon in the sides of river beds !!!
  13. Hi there , just thought you might like to see some of our hounds
