Red Deer

[paulsmithy83 567]

Theres two different types the wild deer and the docile pen deer. Even the later takes a very knowledgable animal to catch but in the wild with no restrainst takes a very very special animal to do it regular

From first hand experience I can say they're as fast or faster than a hare in a straight line!

ive never saw red done prebanmyself but i know of lads who have done them using decent bull crosses single and doubled reckon the stags take abit of stopping need a dog that has no reverse gear

 

Ive heard of people taking stags but there allways seems to be 2 dogs involved and a lamp or fence. Im not knocking the lads who have done it as the lads that have in my opinion are as game as theyre dogs as it takes bottle to slip there dogs on something that big and fast.

depends where they are, red's in the south of england can be 100lbs+ heavier than the examples found say in north scotland or here in the north of Ireland. still wouldn't slip one hound on one tho.

A lot of people seem to think reds are some mythical creature that cant be taken by lurchers, preban people did take them. Seeing is believing Atb

Spot on mate..some folk should maybe of had a go in the days of yesteryear instead of just taking for gospel what the rest of these cyber hunters say ..of course they weren't easy,but if you and your dog had the metal to have a go then you may just of been surprised at the outcome ..oh and Red's will fecking bite ..seen one take the back clean out of a leather motorcycle jacket

No dog could take one single handed in my opinion. But im sure youll have a few people on here saying there beddie/whippet does them regularly .....

depends if its stags or heinds

 

Not to me it doesnt. Even if there wasnt a ban on i think it would be unfair to slip a single dog on a red deer.

 

I've seen it done (pre ban obviously) in England, Scotland and Wales.

Only seen a couple of single handed stags but quite a few hinds.
