Guys hold the press , after some sweet negotiations I'm now the proud owner of 2x 14 month old male brother harriers , add them to the 2 half sister ( one of which is preggers ) I have the makings of a new harrier pack for April 1st 2013 ,will be a lot of hard work this year but I'm sure it will pay off for our crew in the years to come Thanks again for all your help guys :-)

Well said stevemac ,your obviously a hounds man like myself ,love my bloodhound and the few beagles we run but can see that having the harrier in some part that we are allowed to hunt will be a advantage You use hounds yourself ????

Hmmm yes well ,all deer hunting hounds are registered and measured by a official ,so this isn't really the way to go although there are some who try to bend the rules , I believe in fair game and a fair hunt . We all play by the rules and do the right thing then we take small step to getting closer to using the fox hounds one day maybe , it's the idiots who do the wrong thing and get caught in places where they shouldn't be spoling it for he rest of us ! To be honest we shoot plenty of deer using beagles and bloodhounds ,you get out what you put in ! ,the harrier will be a great addition to h

Well something about old dogs and new tricks comes to mind mate haha

My 7 month old gwp , has really started to show his instinct , took the old .22 for a bunny whacking session up the father in laws place on the weekend , along with my 2 year old bloodhound bitch to stretch her legs now the deer hound Hunting season is finished , wasn't long before I had 6 or 7 bunnies down and the pup was happy sniffing em out and trying to chase the od young en , I had neglected to see how milly was doing sniffing at the bottom of the gully when dark me she lit up on a longer tailed version and it was on , the young pup dashed off into the ferns a stopped on a dime as the p

Your not wrong there mate and if I was smart enough I'd share some pics with you guys , just I'm a dumb ex pom who has no idea about all this computer lark

coyotehunter you are spot on mate with the extreme temps and distances we travel over here and obviously the cost ,its hard to keep the anti-venom ,wish i had it though as he was a ripper ,i still have his sister (milly) who is doing me proud atm so i will push through what i am gonna do is invest in some vitamin c tho ,as this proves to be more favourable for hound hunters you never stop learning ,just when you think your close to cracking it ,theres alway something else thanks for all you kind words guys AS

na mate not larry

Just been informed one of my bloodhounds past away over the weekend on his first hunt in northern New South Wales on the pigs ,apparently he was going great guns with 6 pigs down and a great start to his new pig chasing career as he was on large side to hound hunt sambar , at 2 years of age a king brown took him and finished him off within a short amout of time ,I know many guys see there hounds as tools of the trade but I gotta say I treat my hounds like my family and only want the best for them . Totally gutted such a young dog with all the potential taken like so many other hounds at the fe

Sionnach Yeah there are a few packs that have the x breeds in them and they do just fine . I'm looking to get one of the first new line harrier packs going out of Melbourne , we have 2 half sister bitches of which one is preggers ATM ,I would like some new bloodline straight from the mother country as its very difficult to get the bloodlines right with limited stock here 2013 will be the first year we can legally use the harriers and I'm very keen to be one of the first todo so Any help won't go unnoticed either Cheers AS

hedz31 my brother is asking on my behalf mate ,we currently use bloodhound and beagles ,the advantage we have now that the harriers that will be legal to use from april 01/2013 is there leg speed and height ,it the best of what we currently get from either of the other two breeds ,its a very fine line to get the best hounds to ensure a quick fair hunt to ensure best practise for the deer and the dogs ,you gotta remember we hunt mountain ranges here not rolling hill and its very taxing on the dogs with the harsh conditions so the mid height mid weight harrier will be a great addition to
