A dog on a badger is trying to kill it. But sure its a big nasty animal why put your dog on it, do they not get war wounds in the process? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think perhaps we need to be careful confusing fair competition with fair chase. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 26,094 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) This is only my opinion, but a badger is not a running dogs quarry... a dog does not need to have running dog attributes to catch and dispatch a badger... I have no care for what other people hunt or do, but we all know the type of dog required for that type of work...and it ain't a dog meant for running down game... I personally love watching a dog run, I.like the whole getting to grips with an animal which can be its equal when running... once that animal is caught it needs to be dispatched quickly.... if that animal is too good and escapes, then all credit to it and that is what makes running dogs unique... until the animal.is caught it is a "fair" encounter in many ways... Each to their own regards what and how you want to hunt, but quite frankly to film the whole event is stupid and fuel for the fire.

foxdropper 17,092 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Since man first came down from the trees ( or beamed down if your Francie ) the odds have always been in our favour regarding hunting .Hunting was for food so a necessity .That gene hasn’t gone away for those on here that actually hunt .Fairness has never entered the equation for food harvesting or pest control . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to put your runner on brock, by all means fill your boots. For me imo it's not hunting, it's more akin to fighting. If a dog fights a boar instead of holding or baying, it's gonna be a dead dog sooner rather than later. I'm sure you know exactly what I mean and you're just being pedantic 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 44,182 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Well, it’s an interesting conversation lads. As I said in the other thread I had a dog I liked and I knew what he was.......but most importantly I also knew what he wasn’t and I never once said “well, you don’t need those things anyway so he is a proper thing” He was a dog with limits ! ........and I didn’t decry other lads who’s dogs never had those limits to make my dog out to be something he wasn’t. C.Green summed it up perfectly the other night when he wrote “I start wondering about the dog if it takes stuff into the next field.......” People with that attitude will be providing good blood for people who don’t for many years to come hopefully 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stumfelter 3,032 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 I know this is going to sound a bit 'out there' to some on here but why not just hunt what you can legally hunt? You won't need a homicidal wolf/honey badger cross and best of all the plod can't touch you. Just a thought like. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have hung my boots up now stum but in years gone by would I be happy just bunny bashing I doubt it will it test a dog like I think they should no I still like to see any good dog graft but with the law as it is I don't think there tested any were near as years gone by and what with mobiles /drones /ect plus as said penalties when caught fecking hell they even have mobile DNA test kits then the after math of a court case Windows getting popped ect I took a back seat but I take my hat of to any lad still out and about doing a bit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,602 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Maybe its just the terminology i cant get to grips with its like the fat kid at school trying to stop you from stealing his dinner money.....its not " a fight " just because you are swapping punches he just wants you to go away and leave him alone. I agree with Wilf if the dog kills quickly and efficiently its a good dog if it doesnt its not....anything else is simply down to choosing the right tools for the job. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
