Maybe get a torch? LOL

The only person it is possible to please is yourself.

Some lads I dig with wouldnt even touch dead quarry with a gloved hand!

 

I must admit though to be a complete terrierman in my mind you need to be able to handle the quarry.

IF YOUR TERRIER IS WORTH HIS SALT, IT SHOULD BE UP AND PERSONEL WITH ITS QUARRY GIVING YOU TIME TO OPEN UP PROPERLY, TO BE DRAWN AND SHOT OR TO BE HANDLED AND RELEASED, SOME LADS LIKE TO USE A DRAW DOG EACH TO THERE OWN, BUY THE WAY THE LAW SAYS A FIREARM SHOULD BE USED TO DISPATCH. IVE NEVER USED A DRAW DOG NOR HAVE THE GUYS IVE DUG WITH, I CANT SEE THE NEED FOR ONE TO BE PRESENT AT A DIG. JMO.

I agree with u on the terrier with his salt bit Alli as im not too keen on a lurcher drawing. I'd rather get hands on with a fox and give the dog a run after it. Jmo. As I know alot of lads that hunt foxs for keepers etc need them dispatched can't take the risk off the fox getting away with a lurcher after it, which is legal we're I'm from. Sometimes Lads dig behind the terrier a right bit on purpose so a draw dog can be used. That way draw dogs were tested for years and that's how the bull/wheaten xs in lurchers were used as they were proven for there gameness. Atb

This is only my opinion, but a lurcher at a dig should be there for when/if the fox bolts.

I don't see the need to use another dog to draw out a fox. Come on its not that hard to shoot it where it is or scruff it, a decent terrier would probably be entertaining the jaggy end if your a wee bit scared yourself.

no boys i aint scared of foxes have handeld hundreds

my bullx will catch on the bolt

but some times it is just easery to let him get the fox out when thae are pushed up tight

my dog will stay withem no matter what undre groud but some times like i said it is easer to let the bullx do the job

 

(Some lads I dig with wouldnt even touch dead quarry with a gloved hand!)

We just found out since we came on this site that we are supposed to kill them when we open up.Now we know why there are still so many foxes in Ireland.Thank God for the THL.

but ive red a few threds on hear and a few of the go on about relising

sorry for any offence lik

not my intention

[dublin dezzy 1,023]

i am sure there are lads this side and across the water that release,for the simple reason that there may not be much quarry about the place and can dig another day there,SPORT

me being a keeper i doant class it as spor its all part of the job so i hope you can see where im coming from

[king squirrel 53]

i dont have a problem with folk if they want to end hole there bullxs seen many a bullx have balls on top but when he has to shove his head up a little hole its a different kettle of fish and the end of the day once you break through to your terrier he should be out hes done his job without giving him unessary punishment my self i dont like loads of dogs around the hole but each to there own atb ks

Of course i can see where your coming from,thats what your paid to do,can you see why some lads release for an other day?

[jonesy 111]

Well im not Irish and if the fox is not doing any damage,i release when i can.

[MUDD 374]

I wouldn't say release !!!! More like lifted from the dig carried to a good sized field and been giving a sporting chance then let a lurcher go. Most times they are caught and dispatched. Sometimes the do get away. Lurchers are bred for running and stamina and killing power. I've been out and seen lads throw foxs down at a lurchers feet, everyone's diffferent but if your into lurchers in a big way to know what you have in your yard, that's the real deal. As I said earlier it doesn't or wouldnt suit anyone doing it for a job. Which is fair enough.
