how goes it guys? way new to this site so bare with me. the name is raemon but most call me rae and the occasional rae-rae. im from north idaho and to be one hundred percent honest im also new to hounds. i got my first one three weeks ago yesterday. he is 3/4 bluetick and 1/4 walker from the best i understand. he is 11 weeks old. im looking to do coon and cats with him. i have worked with bird dogs my whole life and after going out with hounds a few times decided to switch things up a bit. now being new to the hound i will need alot of help. so you can expect many questions. i have hunted north idaho my whole life, and for the last two seasons have been trying my hand at trapping. if you guys have any questions for me feel free to ask. and thanks in advance for all your guys help.

Welcome!

Ah, Kellogg Idaho-- home of Dave Smith Motors, where I *almost* bought my latest truck!

Used to do quite a bit of hunting in Idaho when I was a kid... not sure exactly where (but thinking it must have been in the SE part since we're from CA) but do remember it being beautiful country! And ALWAYS saw herds of elk. If SB 1221 does pass, looks like I'll be back up there hunting again.

oh yeah dave smiths is a dictator ship that needs beheaded they are ruining this town. not so many elk up here now that the wolves moved in. well according to fish and game i still see plenty to fill the frezzer lol. if you make it this far north swing by ill have a couple cold ones waiting and we can talk hunting.

Hi, I just moved to Idaho and have a couple of bluetick pups that I want to start training, but I don't know the area very well. So I'm looking to meet people that hunt and see if I can find someone that might be willing to show me around a little bit or maybe we could run our dogs together. If you might be interested or know someone that might you could send me a message back.....I'm in Twin Falls.

Thanks,
Joe

You are lucky to live there. I come up there and bear hunt 1-2 times a year. My daughter always makes me stay in the Silver Mtn Hotel so she can play in the water park before we go home. Nice smalltown life, got the walmart there in Pinehurst and CDA is not too far away. If i could find a job up there, I would move in a heartbeat.

Keep those traps going, especially for those wolves. They are the biggest danger to our hounds and ability to hunt.

wolves are the only thing making me second guess this hound doggin adventure i've started. ill tell you what though id hate to be a wolf if i loose my bluetick buddy to one!!!! i already hate those devil dogs
