Gotta be an Upper Michigan 42# tom with a empty belly, runnin a cedar swamp and frozen river, at 10 below zeroin Jan. with a crust on the snow. It's even better if he has a bag of tricks developed from being dogged by counterfit cat dogs !!!
Make mine spotted !!!

I recently saw where a WI man was arrested on two felonly charges of bear poaching. The dogs and equipment envolved in the crimes were conviscated and lodged. What becomes of these hounds after the person is convicted ??? Anybody got any insights???

When you say take a cat in front of your dogs do you mean shoot it on the ground during the race ? As far as accessable state to hunt hard to beat MN. for a shot drive, affordable, and decent cat population. I found the hunts there fun but not as big of cats.
A sugestion... train or find a dog that ...

A bell wont save a hound or beagle here in Upper Michigan. We have not seen the worst yet either ! Our state is broke and the Dept. of Natural Resources babysits the vermin.

I gotta ask.. did you open on the track at all or just slip in silent cur style ???

Not being to kowledgable on drags I got a couple questions. Is that rolled carpet on the end ? and if so is it there to control dust and assist in rolling it up ? Also I am assuming you are doing this to size bear ?
Thanks

The third photo told the story. The small tuffs of fur removed with a scalpal like beak.
Nice find.

On a somewhat related note I saw that a vet out in L.A. had developed prostecics testicals for dogs. They were custom fit for the dogs size and personality. The vet also stated that it was necessary for the k-9's identity and feeling of self worth !! Owners then stated that ol' so n so had more ...

Timothy if in fact you have been at this for one year it shouldnt be to hard to withdraw and consider somthing else for recreation.It is obvious that it very upsetting to you. You have that right. Hell it aint for everybody.
I will admit your intentions are good. It's just that somone trying to ...

Timothy, do you have any PROOF of these harvests other than hearsay ? Do you really feel this is a productive way of combating this problem ?
P.S. please let us know when this guy shows up and taxes your a-- !
your way of addressing this issue is child like.

Where are these winches manufactured ?? You guys are buying US manufactured... right ?

Good job on the photos !! It's great to see plott cat dogs in action.
Thanks
