Redmund kills another deer

Basenji Talk
  • My theory is that after the first encounter he figured out the pointy ends and avoids them. After the deer enter the deer fenced vineyard they are basically captive animals and have no where to run. That is the only way he can get a deer.

  • WOW…A DEER!!! No way! Impressive!

  • Good dog Redmund he saves money for you no kibbles for that boy he hunts his own meal :D On a more serious note hide the carcass and don´t tell anyone or Redmund might be in some serious trouble;)

  • As Redmund's breeder, I am not really happy that he is risking his life in this pursuit. However, it is pretty amazing that a 25 pound dog can take on a 150 pound deer.

  • If you've ever watched a pack of them, it's truly an awesome site. It's like a telepathic dance. But truly amazing taking down a deer by himself.

  • I'm definitely no expert in this area, and it's just a thought…but I know chronic wasting disease is becoming more and more common in deer.

    Redmund would have to ingest a different part of the deer than his rump :) but it's something to consider.

  • WOW!!

    But then … when you think about it ... they were/are used in Africa/Congo for hunting!

    The one book I have said the owners tied a shelled gourd around their necks, filling the gourd with pebbles/stones so as to be able to 'hear' the basenji and not shoot them, shooting the prey instead.

  • My Max got hold of a large raccoon in my backyard one night when he was about 2. My boyfriend at the time went out and saw the raccoon on its back with Max on his throat. He tried to separate them, but it was too late for the raccoon. I've kept my dog door down at night ever since. The two Bs I have now seem to be fearless and much more instinctively predatory than Max was–but fortunately I haven't had any raccoons etc in the backyard....yet.

  • Wow. That is amazing. Manning has only been successful at catching birds. Although he did try for a bat the other day that had made it into the apartment. As of yet neither Manning or the cats are very good bat catchers. A deer is impressive!

  • You do realize that since Redmund has been a succesful deer hunter, he will continue to pursue them. The comment about CWD should be taken seriously as should the comment that he is engaging in risky behavior. Yes these dogs were hunters in Africa, but this isn't Africa and these dogs aren't wild but our companions.

    EWWWWW! Especially the being speared on the tooth part! Chey caught a pigeon in the yard once. I took them for their afternoon walk and when I went out to throw the poop out back I noticed feathers all over the yard. Silly me thought a cat or hawk had gotten the poor thing. I cleaned up the feathers and a foot, went inside and Chey wasn't around. I found her sitting on our bed with the remains, very proud of herself. It took me some coaxing to get it away from her and then I had to wash all the bedding…which I had just finished doing earlier in the day!

    Hi there. At the moment I have a little girl. I'm considering getting her a brother or sister. There's no doubt I would go for another Basenji. Problem is, I don't want a new dog to teach her bad habits. My girl doesn' t know she can jump the back fence. She doesn't dig holes in the back lawn, only in the garden beds, which I 'm pretty sure she's running out of room to bury her treats. And she can be pretty smart when she wants to. Do I risk bringing a puppy into the family and my girl picking up bad puppy habits?
