New to the sport

[The Rookie]

I am new to the sport and am getting my first hound this weekend. Very excited and can't wait will get my second hound in dec. I'm from montana probably will cat and lion hunt mostly but may coon hunt in the spring and summer to keep the boys in shape.

Hey Rookie,

Welcome to a sport that can be very addictive or very repelling, depending on your start. I hope you are able to get a well started hound or at least have some buddies willing to help you.

good hunting!!!

Thanks I have been talking to the guy I'm getting my hounds from and it sounds like I'm in trouble already. Ha Ha I'm already a freak about hunting and have bird dogs, love watching them find birds. My wife says I have a sickness I just call it a passion.

This an excellent site to monitor and learn from. I have been a houndsman most of my life, but continually get new ideas and prospectives from those on this forum.

Be sure and bring your hunting ethics and law abiding charactor on-board with you.

Look forward to reading about your hounds and experiences.
