Gear List

This may seem like another dumb question. I have a couple footlockers full of stuff (and then some) to train and run my bird dog. What kind of stuff do you need to train andrun coon hounds or big game hounds? Is there some can't do without items, stuff that I might not normally think about?

Essentially what would you recommend a new kid on the block to put in his starter kit?

[Buddyw]

Lunch and a sense of humor..

Honestly, Tracking Collars, and Tri-tronics are two things that I never leave the house with.. Everything else is Hit or miss. Even the gun..

[Melanie Hampton]

Tracking collars IMO are a must..
If you can't get a tracking box, find someone in the area who would let you borrow their's if need be and get a collar freq that they can track..

Tri-tronics shock collar.. again a houndsperson's best friend in the whole wide world..

Regular collars with your updated info on it..

Those and you are off to a great start.. Heck..we never remember the gun, lunch and someone (not me ) generally forgets his sense of humor halfway into us getting our asses kicked
