What to Hunt in Michigan

Postby Elkhound » Tue Sep 24, 2013 10:56 pm

Hello. Brand new to the site. Haven't been hunting in over a decade (got hooked on musky fishing). I've got a 22 month old Norwegian Elkhound. Great dog. They are used in Norway for hunting (tracking & baying) moose.

I would like to keep my dog rooted in her hunting instinct and get her into hunting something. I've thought about training her to track blood trails for lost deer, or training her to track antler sheds. But that's not quite what I originally had in mind.

I know the game you can hunt with dogs is limited, and my lack of hunting experience, and location doesn't help. Anyone have any suggestions? I would appreciate it.

If you are new to hound hunting and new to this website take note.



Are they really hound men? I would bet no. I would also recommend researching any and all state laws where you live some have exemptions to give dog men a break, some don't. On the west coast them guys will hunt bobcat with a bull terrier then simply rush it into the nearest animal rights vet clinic to save there bacon when it gets hurt. That will get you locked up in some states.
