[quote="coondawg1972"]HELLO FELLOW COONHUNTERS. MY NAME IS PAUL I'VE BEEN RUNNING HOUNDS ALL OF MY ADULT LIFE. GAVE IT UP ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO UNTILL THIS JAN, 2008. I STARTED PUTTING ME A PACK BACK TOGETHIER WITH A WHOLE LOT OF GONNA BEES AND AND A FEW SHOULD HAVE BEENS. ITS TOOK ME THREE MONTHS TO START TREEING COONS IN THE WILD BUT JUST WONDER IF YOU ALL REMEMBER WHEN YOU STARTED HUNTING AND TRAINING HOUNDS. I TELL YOU I HAD FORGOTEN THE JOY OF JUST STARTING OUT WITH A YOUNG PACK AND WATCHING THEM GROW AND CHANGE INTO COONHOUNDS. IT HAS BEEN AN AMAZING 5 MONTHS. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY WILL BE IN A YEAR.[/quot

Shoot I started over every few yrs do too deaths or bord cause they finished out and let em go and started over .Training pups from scratch and not with help from other dogs is how I hunt and your right a young dog or dogs and a yr or 2 hunting em is quite a rush and a true experience and each time ya do it ya gain by its experiences and add new understandings too.

man you been out too long,what about screamin,cussin,stayin out all night after a deer chaser you shouda shot last week,or the barn burner that gets sick and ya spend a ton to have him die anyway,or the wife that hates you because its tuesday and she is sick of ol pot licker barkin,or explaining to the neighbor that your real sorry that the pup that wont bark at a coon kills the neighbors cat in front of her,or the flat tier while out hunting out of reception,or Ol roy hops the fence and breeds the yappin shitsu,no sur if i ever wise up and quit i aint ever looking back,now its just an adiction not a pass time,i wonder if they got a 12 step program fer this,lol,good luck,have them check yer head when you visit the doc,lol

its funny how a fella only remembers the cool stuff,and selectively doesn't think about how much shoe leather goes into a dog,i always forget between starting one and finishing one,anyway good luck

But I started noticeing each new set of pups was easer too train then the last befor em and if things just got too be a mess I closed my eyes and pretended I was goen too sleep on a new pillow and of the morning would just turn over a new leaf/ and that yuesterday was only a product of my emagineation/ just a figgment ?!!hahaha

the young dogs sure make you feel proud when they turn it on. Thats what keeps a guy going i believe. Keep up the good work with your young dogs.
