How bout you explain why?! I have a OMC, doesnt bother him to tree squirrels (its spelled like this) during the day, then take him to the woods that night an tree 3 or 4 coons. So whats the big deal!? Can a dog not multitask???? Where is there a rule they are not supposed to do this?

During the depression folks had hide dogs and hunted squirrels through the day and coons at night,w/o a problem.Though if they treed a squirrel at night their fate might be in jeoprady.As long as they suit you,enjoy the music!

No where on there did I say its a ruleThat would be my own rule.Every houndsman has rules for what there dogs can and can't run.Good game and bad game.Some guys love to run yot'ies but to me and most the people i hunt with there trash. Its all a personal preference,I was stating mine.





I know my spelling is horible, is there a spell check on here???

My dogs are big game dogs, including my cur dogs. I have never had a dog think twice about a squirrel and am happy about that. But to me coon hunting is something to do to get my dogs out there more. Its like othere people said, if you want your dogs to do both there is no problem with it. you may end up with a treed squirrel if you do some morning coon hunts, but if you don't mind than go for it.

I understand what you boys are sayin! I dont mind my dog to do both jusy cause there at diff times. But if my hog dogs bumped a coyot, id be pissed. Most squirrels are out in the daytime hours, except the little ones with wings lol. My hog dogs are for that only, so i get your point radar

Right on bro, good luck to you and your hounds nomader what guys decide to chase!!

But seriusly what up with the spell check I needs it

i understand what your saying..some let their dogs tree possums wich to me is retarded but me running squirrels is just as bad i guess..thanks for the answers...but if it means elminating those lil squirrels for deer season il b proud to hav squirrel hounds haha..the lil dudes bark and run around and sneak up on you deer and turkey season so i usually try thining them out

This dog doesn't seem to get confused. I don't have any trouble switching back and forth with her.

Then do it up.





Neither do mine Rowdy but it's different if something big and tan with horns jumps befor the track there turned lose does!!!!One good thing about going to the swamps besides coons is no deer

I have a blue heeler/rat terrier that does great on both coon and squirrel,she thinks she weighs 50lbs though and she's only 16 lol.
