Im leaning toward the states. I’d love to see some coyotes run, lamp some coins, dig a few bits, hunt some pigs etc and would really like to go see the big Loomis coyote dog sale if it’s still on ...... 1 Quote Link to post
C.green 3,203 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Be honest with ya mate i think you could travel the world and you wont find exactly what the uk has to offer. You know yourself people from all over come here to hunt. Why ? Because for a small island she jam packed with gear with plenty enough dogs to take it if there owners are willing to push out and tread the unknown. 3 2 Quote Link to post

Maximus Ferret 2,055 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 How about Australia? A good variety of game and fishing too. There or the states there'd be plenty to do and no worries about it coming on top either. Quote Link to post

Born Hunter 17,622 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Depends where you can find the opportunities. If you can get the right leads then the states without doubt imo. Getting a black bear bayed up on the ground or a lion in a tree, approaching that out of breath and with aching muscles must be absolutely exhilarating! Then you have the staghounds running coyotes and barn hunting coons with terriers. Hog dogging in the South. Heaps of quite special dog work and that's without even considering gundogs. Scandi or Eastern Europe might be worth a look, they do a lot of interesting stuff. Mostly involves guns though from what I have seen. Pig hunting in NZ is good but other than deer dogs for rifle hunting that's really all they do dog wise. 3 Quote Link to post
