I challenge you good writers to write your own guide such as Mikes cat training guide. Something that a beginner can use a baseline such as his guide. Keep it simple, cover the basics, multizoned or your area specific, include photos of sign (scratches, piss posts, etc). This would be a perfect to explain your reasoning for each method, and might cut down on the same posts over and over here.
It would be great if we had a good guide for each stage such as how about to conduct yourself when trying to find that first pup or dog, how to raise said pup to hunting age, etc. We cover these things slightly in all our posts but its not where a person can come on here and see "how to find your start" etc.
Hope all of you think about it. Even if its not spelled correctly, may be disorganized. It would be nice to help new folks get on the right path, rather than being setup for disaster at the get go.

Re: a challenge
Unrealtk,
When David's book is released & I think it will be soon, it will cover almost all the topics you mention.
He goes into detail on proper Etiquette for the beginning Hunter/Hounderperson, same with locating areas Bobcat frequent, and some good tips on Pup selection.
These Tidbits and Aids will translate well to all regions!
While us old Mossbacks will enjoy it....it should be a MUST read for a Neophyte!
