Hello from Indiana

I joined this forum to see about a dog breed ID, but I find myself fascinated with the posts about hunting dogs. I'm interested in learning more, so, aside from this forum, where would you suggest an absolute beginner start to learn more about this sport? (Is that the right word for it? I apologize if it isn't)

I suggest starting top to bottom in each of the forum groups (big game with dogs, bears, lions, etc.) look for threads about training and history all of that kinda stuff you will learn a lot quick, but none if it will stick unless you get out an try it for yourself

nice to have you on the cite.

Hah, thanks. Guess I've got a lot of reading.

There are so many coons in Indiana that you just need to put a half decent dog with some treeing bloodlines anywhere near woods and water and the dog will teach you. You just need to teach it that deer are bad. We shot ten to twenty every night out with lots of den trees. They should call it Coondiana.

Hah, you're not kidding. I live in the city and was joking with my dad about running around the neighborhood with the dogs. I've probably got some in my backyard tree.
