Title: deer breaking
Post by: heavyhitter89 on October 01, 2012, 01:45:31 pm
Got a year and half redbone Bmc cross that is consistent about striking for me.. but here recently he has discovered running deer is fun.. usually only happens toward the end of a hunt and only if we don't find a hog.. yesterday we went out and he hunted good for a while then ran a deer then that's all he wanted to do ..  my question is what would b the best way to stop that

get a shock collar on him and Drive around and find a deer standing on the side of the road turn the dog loose and when he starts running bambi, stimulate him lol...do that a few times and he will get the picture. A buddy of mine told me how well it worked and how little effort it takes apose to going to the woods and tryin to find a deer ect...i tried it on a bluetick and a walker and it worked good

Shock collar works great,.....but you have to be 110% sure it's a deer he's running and not a hog track. Seeing a deer and putting him on it is a good way to ensure that.

from what I have seen is this... a young dog that don't want to quit a deer is a dog that wants to hunt and catch game...that's why I try to break them mtn cur pups at an early age...

FIND A DEER THAT HAS BEEN RUN OVER ON SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND TIE THE DOG TO IT AND STAND BACK AWAY FROM THEM. THEN SHOCK THE PP OUT OF HIM. THAT WAY YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S LOOKING AT.

First thing id try is to make the hunt shorter so that he don't get bored may even wait til your other dogs have a hog bayed or at least started before you put him on the ground.  If you do this it's teaching the dog what you want him to find and a lot of the time holding the dog back while the others are huntin will make him want to hunt a little harder. 

If that don't work I'd find me a electric fence and some glands off the back leg of a deer and tie them to the fence then turn the dog loose and let him wind and find the gland he will try pullin the gland off the fence and get the fire knocked out of him.

If niether of those work get out the deer rifle and shoot the deer! It is deer season and if the deer is dead he won't have to chase it anymore! Problem solved!!! Lol!!!

One of the first tricks should do him some good though.
