I sit here looking out dinning room window, to the west few hundred away,see a large rock that reminds of a bobcat hunt that happened many years ago. Started out as morning hunt before working swing shift in the pm. I had roaded deacon & chub a short distance up Johnson Mt. road when they starte...

Thanks for the information, interesting read, sounds like hogs are more intelligent than anything I ever hunted. Bear hunt here in this steep, brushy, huge rock terrain is just plain hard dangerous work. The hunts I wrote about were all larger fat bear that covered less ground than most of the small...

Interesting read, never hog hunted. Are you able to hog hunt year round? Can you make any money catching & selling feral hogs? Is the meat as good as tame hogs? I can/t say the critters I have hunt one sex was more elusive than the other. Bobcats can get educated fast, learning how to elude the ...

This hunt we are leaving the Coquille River water shed, taking about a 40 mile trip over a high mountain into the Rogue River Water shed, hunting near a small community called Agness Or. I sure it was a Labor Day weekend, thinking 1972. I had worked a swing shift but was up & ready when Tom Barn...

Yes assume that is what happened. Thinking back Leon/s redtick was rather large dog named Duke. Believe Duke was the first box dog I had ever seen or heard of. Bill/s dog that got hurt the worst called champ, good looking walker dog. Can/t be certain if that hunt took place in late spring or fall, d...

Sorry correct spelling Bill McSpirit

Think it was late spring 1969, Leon Elliott stopped by to invite to join he and Bill McSpirett for a bear hunt. He had spent the day trying to kill a bear that was killing sheep on the Dement Ranch, Stated his dogs had bayed the bear several times but he had turned his ankle bad & was unable to ...

Bobcat hunting is the biggest challenge of all the critters I have experienced. Friend & i had ran a bobcat more times than like admit, it was about 10 am or so & don/t think we had found a track after roading all dogs for couple hrs. decided to box for a spell. We had boxed couple dogs up a...

Heck muleman, I could never write a book, but, will tell you another true story. By time this hunt took place i had dogs that did not run bear. The dogs I had on this hunt was a larger male called Mac, he was the pup that Ted gave me, female called tiny she was the dog I told that was able to run a ...

Yes muleman, gave him a very good deal, about half asleep when knocked on my door, ask what I wanted for Deacon, told him 750*00, could tell by look on his face he was surprised. Wrote me a check and then ask how I arrived at that price. Told him I was no longer going to hunt bear and wanted deacon ...

I agree muleman, not had to find natural tree dogs in the coonhound lines. Finding accurate tree dog much more difficult. Here is another true hunting story for you. On this hunting I had two males, Deacon a five year old son of the belle & Chub was a four year old grandson of belle. A couple sh...

Can/t say have had ravens help find bobcat, but can say I have walked away from a tree where
I was unable to find the cat and after getting too far to want to walk back to that tree. I spotted the bobcat in that tree,

An ever better of cougar not being easy to locate, George Horner was a long time well know houndsman in this area told me about an experience. He started track early morning, dogs trailed for hours, when he found a track & knew dogs were backwards. Turned the dogs around, getting late in day whe...

Greetings North Ga. Plott. First will say I am not a cougar hunter, however tree enough of them that can tell you here on the sw Or.coast they are not always easy to locate. Normally easier than bobcat but not always easy. Will give you an example of an experience I had. The dogs started a track &am...
