"Grace" RIP

Great pics Doc

Would you class Grace as a stag only asking has her head is very pronounced compared to a lot of the other stags I've seen or is there something else in the mix..........John

[bird 9,594]

what is the situation with rabies over there do you innoculate your dogs against it also what time of year is best for hunting the coyote or do you hunt them all year ...great pics looks like really good sport

 

 

and do get much prob with snakes (rattlers) as well, as most of your hunting seems in the bush.???

 

any one.?????????? great pics on the thread

Idaho Wolf

 

 

bloody hell , thats a fair size that what sort of weight would that be

[UphillDoc 278]

Tiff-Thats a 130+ wolf. We had an even bigger one hit by a car just up the road from my house. The ones this size could pick up a stag and run off with it. They eat the bear dogs like a cat eats a mouse.

 

Kye-I think you would have better luck trying to spear a lion, rather than stabbin one, but either way, I would love to see ya give it a go. Gettin that close to a big predator is an adrenaline you cant buy!

 

Johnny-Grace was a 1/2 cross bullxstag. She literally caught everything from hares to bears. I dont expect I will ever own another like her, but I have two off her bred back to a stag, (Hoss and T) that I like alot, and plan to keep her blood alive with them in the future.

 

bird/scal-I dont worry about rabies, as its VERY rare in MY area, but if a dog makes it thru its first season I will go ahead and give it a rabies shot. Coyotes can be hunted 24/7 365, but the best time to hunt them with running dogs is late fall-early spring. Summer brings dog killing heat, and rattlers, so what hunting we do with the stags is done on the lamp. I have had dogs bitten by snakes, some die and some just swell up. Usually by the time you notice they have been bitten, its too late to do anything. Its a chance you take. IMO, they arent much more likely to ge bitten by a snake while out hunting than while in their pen, as the snakes go where they please.

 

Take care.

Johnny Grace was a firstX bull/stag, we have a daughter of hers called Loca (Crazy) that is 1/4 bull 3/4 stag, maybe UphillDoc, Hoss1 and whoever else has the littermates can put up pics? I'd like to see some new ones anyway!

 

 

Bird our vet recommends annual rabies vaccinations due to the very regular contact all of our dogs (even my pet dogs) have with anything from coon to skunk to bats. So he comes to the farm once a year and jabs them all for about $7 each. Some people jab every 3 years and even some nutjobs don't jab at all due to the stigma growing about vaccinations. But sorry, we will err on the side of caution until enough studies come back proving what they claim.

 

About snakes, where we live (midwest) we have all sorts of snakes but only a few poisonous ones, and as we don't normally hunt in the heat when they are the most active we've never had a run-in with one. Lots of rat snakes, black snakes, etc but all non-poisonous and good for keeping the rats and mice down. Even when we lived in the desert and were out daily with the dogs we never had a problem. When I lived in California I was bitten twice by diamondback rattlers as a teenager, we had horses and were always seeing them which is another reason I'm glad NOT to live there anymore!

 

I think this was in Florida, not my cat

 

 

Kye thinks he's the English Steve Irwin

 

 

We leave all snakes alone that we see but some people kill everyone. There are technically 5 "poisonous" snakes here, 2 regular vipers and 3 rattlers, these 2 are the ones to stay away from in our area

 

copperheads are dangerous but NOT deadly

 

 

cottonmouth (also known as a water moccasin) - Fatal and agressive, lives around water, much more plentiful in the southern part of the state but we do get them here along rivers and year-round-creeks.

 

 

I knew someone over in Oklahoma who lost several dogs a year to snakebites, but I think that is quite unusual.

Kye.......lion = spear fella, bear = knife.
