Tougher quarry


Recommended Posts

It all depends on the territory they are in

I think in the ground the hog is tougher persay then the coon.  But above ground I'd say the coon is tougher.  And to the guy asking about coo s using there feet like hands,  yes they do. And not all coons are the same here in America.  Depending on were your from they can be small or pretty big.  And the teeth on the ground are wide and super sharp and will lay big gashes on your dog.  Could easily rip your dogs face apart.

I’m sure there is the occasional dog that is crushing rib cages of coon but if he was insinuating it was being done with any regularity by most dogs he was either only seeing smaller specimens of raccoon or he is a lying. I’m going to assume to first bc assuming another grown man is lying without proof is as ugly as the actual liar themselves. Women do this lol assume you’re cheating without any solid proof. Lol kinda pathetic. 

 I’ve got some tough hard ones but they are not crushing rib cages of large coons regularly. Especially if the coon is in the ground or any area with limited room

Mate , I’ve never even been to the states and have no idea about Racoons , all I offered was anecdotal, from someone who is no longer with us  , but who I knew well and did not lie about his dogs and was always self critical. I am interested in terrier work in the states and would have been interested in hearing more about your dogs and exploits . But you come across to me as a bit of a tit so I’ve all of a sudden lost interest.

You clearly misunderstood what i said. I said in my experience that doesn’t happen that often and that i give your friend the benefit of the doubt he must have been around some dogs and or circumstances that made it possible for it to happen. I did not make fun of you or him or call him a liar I outright said that i will take that at face value for the truth. I’m not into all the joking with and poking at other men. I didn’t mean to offend you and I was trying to communicate that I believe what you said just in my experience it wasn’t that common. 

 

My my statement was actually motivated by all these people calling other grown men liars without any real proof they are lying. In no way was it to take shots at your friend or you. Forgive me if that how you understood it. Again not my intention misunderstanding

Appreciate you getting back , I misunderstood you . My friend only visited the states and only went out maybe a couple of times after raccoon , so was in no way an expert . I look forward to more posts on hunting in the states and maybe a few photos. All the best

Want to be careful on here mate ,some a bit touchy about being called out .

Thank you. I was trying to communicate that was not my experience but i believe what they other man was saying

Only people I was calling out are the ones on the board always calling others liars when they are not their in person to prove they are lying. IMO that is something women do. We all have the right to our opinions but to put it in writing calling another man a liar and we have no REAL PROOF is feminine argumentative and a waste of our time.

I’m with you. reading my post I could have communicated better. I can see how I was misunderstood. I’ll try to be more clear.

Not the best pic but you can see how this raccoon is using its paws (front and back) almost like hands to handle the terriers. This raccoon actually worked his way on top of my terrier. She’s only a year old but loved every bit of the work

      Hello lads, merry Christmas and all that. I’ve got a terrier in my kennels that starting to test my patience. 
       
      Great dog, keen as mustard and all that but time and time again I’ve broken through to her steadily baying away only to find she’s sat with something mid tube on one occasion I broke though and there was nothing there however last week I said to myself if I break through I’ll clear the tubes up and pop her back in to make sure it isn’t my fault rather than blame her. Lo and behold it was sat about a meter back from the open end of the tube and eventually bolted itself - Happy says, a nice morning out (I only dig on my own and keep it private).
       
      However today we popped over to seasoned place, in she went, which was an incredibly large earth with multiple holes spanning across a bracken bank. Straight away she sat at 2.4 baying away well, too many entrances to net I kept an eye out for the bolt but nothing was to be seen. For the next hour maybe two she barley surfaced and worked the entire earth sitting and baying on occasion but shortly moving on and covering a great distance. Eventually on one occasion when she popped out, nose down looking for the next way in I picked her up and sat her back in the truck as I didn’t want to be sat there for another hour trying to get a mark. 
       
      my question is simple, what am I doing wrong? Or is the bitch at fault for not working her quarry to a stop end and staying. She isn’t massively experienced however for what’s she’s done I’ve found she’s intelligent and very safe often comes away without a mark. Please don’t recommend PTS or moving her on, I understand many terriermen wouldn’t tolerate this however for the times I have dug to her successfully it has been a great pleasure. I’ve had a conversation with a lad local to me and his response was “she’s not hard enough to hold them” which made me think one man’s preference may not be another’s. 
       
      all the best & happy new year

      Morning lads,
      so I’ve always had black fell terriers and work them to ground. But for a few years I’ve noticed people starting work slightly broken coated very short coupled terriers that are little savages. I never really get a clear answer to what’s in them but I really like the look of them.
       
      one chap told me he’d crossed his Sealyham with a Russel and it turned out a good little worker. Just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with this breeding specifically for earth work? 
       
      thanks

      We’re keen to introduce our 2 year old Jack Russell to ratting.
      We’re based in East Devon. Are there any local groups or anyone that can teach us / her the ropes?
