I am very happy that we started up this thread, this is why I love OPE, threads like this show who we are, threads like this make OPE unique after my opinion.
Hunting after deer using dachs dog has been my life since 1998, but they are not only for hunting, those 3 dogs have always been family for me, when they pass away I struggle huge.
This hunting with dachs dogs it's quite simple, the dachs dog search for the deer, as more experience they get as better they track up one animal, a really good one take wide loops to find a track to work on.
Here comes the funny part, when they find a fresher track they start to bark, their barking getting tighter when the track getting fresher, when they find the deer it's almost like an explosion in barking. Since the dachs dog only have legs like 10-15cm, your guys can imaginate who is running fastest lol. The dog don't care, they continue after the deer with tight barking, for me as owner it's pure music.
As hunters, we place ourself where we think the deer will loop into, sometimes we are lucky and nail the deer.
Nils is his name and he is a sweedish, still have him, he is 14,5 year old now. This is after a long day in forrest, tired and wet he was so I sacrificed my GoreTex jacket for him.....
A deer pass through me with Prazzla after it, no riffle, just the camera....the music is down in the hills....
Here comes the hero....spot on, just 1/2 meter to the side where the deer had been running due wind drift.
My neightbour shot the last deer for her, sadly she passed away just a few weeks later... and if anyone see the huge red scratch on her breast it's because of wound, those dachs dogs are so full of hunting instinct that they rarely feel any pain.
Two of my best friends (they have been my buddies for over 40 years), we was on our way home, she wasn't really finish with what she belived was hers....
