Beebout-it I know they had a lot of success with it in Wisconsin or Minn before they banned wolf hunting in general. They just used their coyote bred running walkers in good size packs and they learned that once the wolves figured out they were the ones being hunted they would break up and run. This...

Has anyone started running the wolves with hounds yet?

"Beebout-it" Oh for sure!! Caught my first bear of the season and it was a stud!! Dogs did great!! It was real cold when we got it going (temperatures and the track) but they got him jumped and treed…terrible straight up climb for 3/4 of a mile but great day!! Do you have any wolves in the...

Heck if there is no chance of getting stuck or falling off the side of a mountain I'm not even interested.

This is a really cool book with a lot cool and historic pics or great houndsman of both past and present.

In my experience the dogs I have had to "train" to tree were far less accurate than the naturals or the ones I just left alone and had patience and let them tree on their own even if it meant waiting till they were two years plus old. I believe you need to be very careful about working on ...

The best dogs I have raised were all naturally early starting dogs. All I had to do was hunt them and brake them off any trash when needed. In my opinion it's how it's suppose to be. You shouldn't have to train or wait five years for a dog to hunt. As long as I see consistent improvement I don't get...

Like everyone always says, a dog is worth what someone will pay for it. Things to take into consideration are is he intact? His age, being 7 he is on the decline. How broke is he? Is he broke to one species of game, or more of just a meat dog? His hunting abilities such as is he a start dog, does he...

"Well it’s 50 below this morning but no more earthquakes so far lol hopefully be warmed back up tomorrow so we can get back to hunting."


How do you keep your dogs in that kind of weather? Do you have to bring them in?

Do you have any pine plantations/timber company land around you? Are you in or near any areas that have hunting clubs? If so I have always had luck catching cats in those types of places. I know southwest Ark has plenty of cats as does most of the south you just have to have cat dogs. My advice depe...

I know the cat question wasn't for me but I do have some experience in that part of the country. When I was living in CA I hunted bobcats in NV (hunting with a friend who was a resident), OR, and just across the border in AZ and I would have in CA if it was legal. The cats definitely tree in all of ...

It is my opinion people have become way too loose with all the crossbreeding leading to even more junk then we already had. They think it's like mixing paint where anyone that has done this for awhile knows its not. I see it especially bad with the newer guys and their visions of grandeur, with time...

Just like most other things in life there are levels to this stuff. And there are all different levels of hunters and dogs out there. Nothing wrong with however you would like to do it as long as the dogs are taken care of and you are enjoying yourself.

Yup you right Perk, barking out of place is just a blanket term that covers all of those more specific things such as barking going to them, barking in the back, barking over and over on a covered track, babbling, and just not shutting up and getting to the front or shutting up on a loss. Like I sai...

Renegade I watch hounds like you do and like a lot of the same things. Ol Lawdog and I was talking about some of these things the other day. The two biggest race killers when your chasing cats in my opinion is constantly overrunning tracks and barking out of place. Nothing makes me more mad then dog...
