Small Lurchers On Deer Pre Ban !!!!

[the big chief 3,099]

use to hear back in the days that a coursed killed deer was better eating (as the blood flew out of him with his Adrenalin going before caught and bled) never eating one that was coursed and killled as ours are all stalked,,,,,, has anybody on here tasted the difference from a shot one and coursed one or is it all a myth??

all tastes the same to me feking lovely lol

A mate of mine had a 22 1/2 inch bitch collie grey bedy whipet collie greyhound 100% on them

were all these deer caught daytime?

only used to keep collie x bitches, around 22-24 tts and expected all of them to take roe, munty, cwd and fallow does. these collie crosses often ended up in quite long runs as they just lacked a bit of top end speed, but usually managed to get the job done. to be fair they would often struggle with a good fallow doe for pure size and weight. fallow bucks were just too strong for dogs of this nature to take regular and i always worried that they would seriously damage the dog. entered right these dogs were game as hell (most dogs get pretty fired up about deer anyway) and would have died trying if i'd let them

I know of a small bull grey whip saluki bitch think she's 21/22" and she did fallow and Roe pre ban. Dragged a few fields a few times but always had em in the end.

_{That is what you have to watch, dogs that can not hold fallow down, getting dragged threw barbed wire fences ec t!!!!!}

_{Can get nasty !!!}

Lots of small dog owners have a good story to tell, even I do with 21" light weight bitch I had but realistically the dog needs some weight behind it to do a proper job regular or it will continuously end in tears...

I personally think (pre ban) small dogs on deer is not fair on dog or deer.

Well it certainly wasn`t fair on the deer I`ve seen caught with handy wee dogs lol.

 

Seen plenty taken with "small dogs" and they aw tasted fine.

you would be amazed to see how far a fallow buck can run with two 70lb dogs hanging off it, and the amount damage that that can be inflicted in that time, and thats after the fist strike has taken it to the ground
