Gidday from NZ,

You guys are spoilt for the type of cover you hunt in, the Possoms I hunt are in nastier areas than what I have seen in the posts here in NZ. I think that's why generally the dogs here are smaller and lighter in build. A hound that was open on the trail would definately not work as ...

Thanks Guys,
Had a look at the tail stripper it looks like what I thought should work with the hinge on the end, I actually pluck the fur off the tail without skinning, but that will work. There is quite alot of fur on the tail that till recently I have been leaving.
Hopefully the company will send ...

Cheers Mike,
Will check it out, Lurcher NZ.

Gidday,
I realise you guys skin your coons, but here in NZ alot of people are plucking the fur. It's always a problem doing the tail, I have played round with two sticks with a groove cut in the middle but always seem to make it too big and it slides over the top and takes very little fur off.

Gidday,
Have just read this post and noticed the photo of the Basalt Breast Plate. I have one of these for my wifes Retriever that considers himself a pig dog here in New Zealand. Have found the plate good apart from the way is sat on the dogs neck. One particular hunt recently the bit that sticks ...

Hi Guys,
What do you guys shoot your coons out of the tree with, they look a reasonable size compared to the Possooms I hunt here in NZ? Are they any good for dog food at all, the Possoms are the best food you can give a dog they do very well on them? We pluck the fur from Possoms and get $105 a ...

Hey Doug,
Don't talk to me about 1080 New Zealand is responsible for spreading the most of the evil substance than anyone else in the world I think. It is a real bone of contention here with hunters especially dog work as it is absolutely lethal when dogs touch poisoned animals. We poison Possoms ...

Hello from New Zealand,
I hunt with a strain of poaching dog here in New Zealand called Lurchers, which are sighthound based crossed with a working dog such as a collie.
I mostly target Possums which i pluck and sell the fur which is quite valuable at present. I have always had an interest in ...
