Tell Me If I Have Gone Nuts

[kyboy44 11]

OK fist let me say be in the u.s we don't have to go by the same laws a lot of you all do but I wanted to see what one's that work with running dogs thought about this idea that keep working on my head I live in a place with a lot of trees. And cover but it has a lot of open space to so I was thinking what if you use a game caller or bait to bring out the game to the dog the only problem I can see is the dog be able to get to the game before it gets to COVER the opening can be anywhere from 10-20 feet to a 100 yard's or so what would you all day sounds like It could work or have I lost it

Could you not get a bushing dog/dogs to work the cover and flush quarry for the running dogs, and what are you hunting out there ?

[TOM HEAVY 140]

clearly you have gone nuts mate

I often call foxes out of cover for a running dog. No different to calling them in to a rifle. gotta do a bit of work with the dog to get them to sit quietly.

[Haiddheliwr 1,911]

See no problem personally in doing that but as low plains drifter says have a bushing dog working in conjunction with your running dog.

I have quite a few of what you fellas call "bushing dogs" and i hunt 99 % of the time with these and running dogs, It's good to go out every now and again with just one catch dog and do a bit of one on one with them. If ya don't have "bushing" dogs it would be an effective way of getting a few, especially those light shy ones that have been chased before. I only go in the daylight, the last couple of hours before dark usually.

Thanks boys maybe I am not as crazy as I thought mostly we hunt coyote fox and bobcat I have looked at bushing dogs and could not find any that I flet like would not have a good chance of getting killed. Mostly by the coyote the only thing I have not been able to figure out if the dogs could have the speed to get one before it makes it back to COVER

Callers are a good way to get game coming to you ,mainly do it when lamping.

Give it a go you never know.

He from the Weston put of the u.s were land is more open I am from the south eastern u.s were we have more cover the only thing I am trying to find out is if sight hounds would have the speed to be on one before they lost it in cover

[kyboy44 11]

I am thinking that a greyhound would be the fastest one that I have read about but they look like the bread that gives out the fastest and most likely to get hurt on hard game so maybe I should look at. A greyhound x

I think they reach cover before caught.and I personally don't want my dogs coursing threw wooded ground.it will end in tears
