Lookin For a Hunt

I'm applying for some jobs in Yellowstone Park this summer and I am an avid houndsmen, I have had beagles for 12 years and coon hunt with buddies all summer. It's always been a dream of mine to go on a lion hunt or run, i could care less if i shoot one i just love listening to the call of the hounds is all. I was wondering if there was anyone near Yellowstone that has hounds and would be willing to let me tag along. I would be more than willing to help out with kennel work or anything else for that matter. I don't have the job yet or anything but just thinking of being out west and the possible opportunity to go on a hunt has gotten me all worked up. I would love to hunt lion but really would also like to run anything else with hounds too (coon, bear, rabbits, bobcat, anything).

Have you ever run elk/deer with hounds? Truley fast paced action. :wink:
Good luck hope you get to have the experience. It is fun

Never run elk, there arent many of them in southern Mn where i live and deer are considered trash and its illegal to hunt them with hounds here anyway, neither of those factors stop some dogs ;). I would imagine that it would be fast paced though and i would be more than willing to give it a try.
