Tusker 28 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'm flushing boar to rifles, in the UK. Anyone else running hound types on boar, what sort of dogs are you using? Post on thread or PM. Quote Link to post
HALTY LAD 92 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Between myself and friends we use cross bred beagles. These we find better than larger hounds as the boar we aim to flush out to the guns are in amongst very thick cover, gorse/bramble/sitka/blackthorn. The small hounds go through this faster, and are less likely to tackle the boar themselves, they stand off and bay. I always liked the drive and independent nature of the Welsh hound. If I hunted more open country with less dense cover I would give a pair of Welsh a try. Though they may need chest plates/collars as they seem hard-bitten beggers. I will have a run West at some point and show you how ours go. 1 Quote Link to post

Tusker 28 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I started a thread in the big game hunting section. Please look if you use dogs for tracking. Or send me a pm. All the best Tusker Quote Link to post
swamphunter 77 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Do y'all want them to stop the boar an get it bayed where you can walk in a shoot it close range or are y'all shooting them on the move ?? Quote Link to post
Tusker 28 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Shooting them on the move is the aim of the day mate. Due to UK laws we can use 2 dogs to flush them to guns to be shot. Then the dogs should be used to find the shot or wounded boar. Quote Link to post
