yeah thats the same over here for our fox season to mate. by 13-16months old they would be pretty much fully developed physically, how about mentally? are they slow to mature?

G'day fellas, Just wondering how young everyone starts there hounds? Cheers EDIT** I realise that over in the UK (which I assume most on here are from) you have issues with laws and such. Over here in Australia it's a bit more lenient. Was thinking if a fox was to bite a hound to young it could be a deal breaker for the hound wanting to sniff them out again. I've had it happen with sight hounds and terriers over here

Beautiful hunting grounds

Victoria mate, about an hours drive away from melbourne. Steve

Yea mate I don't really know what it's like over there hunting wise, Australia is great for hunting! Brisbane is a big city, as soon as you know what you want to hunt come on ozziedoggers.org Pigs are fun, if you can get onto a few foxes i'd say there a lot different to anywere else. Spotlighting is big over here, it's a little but more of a challange to spot a pig though. Roos are illegal to dog/shoot unless you have a special license. Both myself, brother fox, Dan Edwards and I suspect a few more are off ozziedoggers forums. All the best with the move. Steve

Good story there mate! Well worth the effort to land him in the end. Cheers steve

Thanks fellas

G'day all, thought I might introduce myself. My names Steve from Australia, I'm 23yo with a few hunting dogs. My main 2 are runners and ones a stag/greyhound bitch and the others a stag/wolfhound/greyhound bitch. I love the running dogs. I chase foxes, hare and rabbits. I also have a mastif/great Dane pup which I will use on pigs. Cheers Steve
