shotgun tim 27 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 why call the shooters???????????? its nothing to do with them if the hounds killed the dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post
kernow oli 28 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 It's not the hounds fault, if they had two foxes bolt I front of them and they left one go you would be pissed right off, to them it was two fixes as the terrier is about the same size and would have smelt the same too, after being up close to the fox which would have pissed all up it !! I have lost a good black biych the same way and it is shite!! (as she was the last working bitch of that good little line, who was going to be bred only two or three months later!!) But it's also a hazard that hunt terrier men face I'm afraid?!! Cheers Oli Quote Link to post
fireman 10,774 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hounds should be held back and if there creeping forward take them further away,poor hound handling and why were guns there anyway if the hounds were that close they wouldn't have got a shot off anyway.Likes been said just poor hunting from every one imo,guns should have said move them,they had no clear shot and they didn't.the hound folk should have had them further away and the terrier man should have told them as well to feck off further back and the terrier payed the price for it,bad old do for sure. 4 Quote Link to post
lukey 1,620 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Got no idea mate. Like I said it was a visit day and the terrier man was asked to try bolt one for the gun! Rusty came out right behind as he does normally with his regular pack! I have seen him run with the hounds for half hour before he was caught and put back on the bike. If this was how this terrier worked then maybe he wasnt suited for working with hounds ... Can you put a time on the terrier coming out behind a bolted fox?? The fox comes out then the terrier comes out simple everybody knows that. The wee dog has went in and done what was asked of it, Fecking bad news that it was killed by the hounds 2 Quote Link to post

Because according to the law that allows the use of a terrier to flush a fox it must be flushed to a waiting gun or do you have a different version where you are ? Quote Link to post
lowry 48 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 strange pack of hounds. maybe think twice the next time before putting a terrier to work with a pack you dont know and a poor huntsman who should have told you his hounds are sharp at a hole. sorry about the terrier all the same..

fox_hunter 1 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hounds were drawing through brambles which were about 500 yards from Earth. Terrier bolted It towards and soon after terrier followed the same line and hounds came towards the earth and chopped the terrier ! Quote Link to post

And just for the record if it was my dog the would have been dead where they stood. Is there a point too your question..? I have been a few times when the hunt passed through some forestry that we used to rent and have a small syndicate there and if someone out of control hound killed a terrier and the terrierman asked me to put my hand in my pocket he would be politely told to "f**k off" and go speak to the huntsman. 2 Quote Link to post

Well if I understand your comment right you ment the terrier shouldnt have came out in hot persuit of the fox that he/she had just bolted?There is always the chance of the terrier coming out right on the foxes arse, and Id say most if allowed to will go and look for the fox. What would the terrier that was suited for the job have done? By the way I have never been out with a hunt so dont know anything about hounds, but for the wee dog to be wasted by hounds in my books is pure shite. Quote Link to post
