[Jason Waterhouse]

Well good luck guys. This is a tough sport and takes a lot of time in the woods to have good dogs. I suggest joining the Vt bearhound association. I am on the board of directors and we do a lot of good for this state and group of bear hunters. PM me for info how to join.

I also live up in northern VT. My boys have been begging for some hounds for the past year so about 3 months ago I picked up 2 blues and we have been working them quite often. They do real well picking up the sent of a bear hide that I have been dragging and hanging in a tree. They will stay at the tree until i pull them off or take down the hide. The real test will come in a few weeks when they can come off the leash. If any one can offer any help or give some pointers to someone new to the sport please do.

[Jason Waterhouse]

What town are you from asnow? I suggest with new hounds make 100% sure its a bear track. You don't want to start them out on trash.

Hi Jason, I live in Sheldon. I guess my next challenge is finding a bear track. I know of some areas in VT that hold some decent bear. I still need to set up or purchase a dog box for the truck. I won't know if either of these dogs will strike from the truck until I come accross a track. I do have a training collar if they do pick up junk. My boys and I are excited to get out in the woods in another week and really start to work the dogs.

[Jason Waterhouse]

Good luck. Glad to see the kids out there.
