Running fast hounds after Deer, in dense woodland,.. well, its pretty obvious that sooner or later, your dogs will get seriously hurt... ? Of course, back in the day, we were different men,....it

Never no when your life going to change for the worse 

I have to admit if I was looking after getting a dog for deer saluki would have to be in it's breeding.

I’d have thought you’d cook a dog? You have to be very careful around here in summer, very hard cracked ground and high temps, with lots of hares, is a recipe for a bad do. 

you could well do on open land one after the other im taking more hedgy land

Temperature is still relatively mild in March and April, perfect time to knock over a few 1/4 grown leverets. Plus your can add them to your dogs tally and then come on here and brag about how many hares your young dog has killed. 

Its a win win. ??

you don’t count them ? 

start the count start october until end a feb 

mover 50 first season you’d be happy

I won't knock anyone for doing a bit of summer hunting, most of us have done it, especially when young and just starting. I'll take the odd roe or hare during the summer, for the pot.....I like eating them ! Good, wholesome, natural food, and far cheaper than shop bought stuff ?

But be honest about it ; None of this nonsense about "keeping the farmer happy" or "starting off a pup", if you enjoy it, then that's your business, no one else's, I doubt any summer hunter is going to make a difference to my sport !

Cheers.

My bitch had a couple of runs on the lamp before the season ended, and no doubt she'll bump into things during my walks in the summer, as the place is lifting with hares and roe, but I'll not be actively looking to work her.

Shell have the summer to mature physically and mentally and learn a few more manners, then be started in September.

Everyone has their own methods, and as I said, I'll not knock anyone ?

Cheers

i don’t need it to learn how a hare runs that’s the easy part pups learning the tricks how the hare behaves round cover using it’s nose is what i want getting things up 

killing hares on desert a plodder will do that. 

by the time october comes the pup is leaps and bounds infront of a dog that is getting let loose in october
