hello my name is knighten phillips and i just joined the site. started huntin with dogs 3 years ago and cant find time for anything else. i got two red ticks, two redbones, 3 leapard curs, one black and tan cur cross, one pup out of b&t and redtick, and a airedale

Welcome Where are you in WY? What lines are your redbones?

i am located in kinnear west of riverton. not sure what lines are just grade dogs i bought in douglas couple of weeks ago. gonna build me a lion pack and what wont run lion will be my coon dogs. u jus got redbones? raise any pups?

Cool I am in Sheridan area. My line of dogs are grade as well. I started my line with Piute Mountain Redbone blood from Brent Switzer and crossed it with some old southern UT and AZ blood. I have bred these lines for quite a few years and that is why I asked what lines of Redbones you had. I stood my male dogs out to a few WY bitches over the years as well as bred my own. I got hurt awhile back and had to hang up my leashes, but am going to purchase one of my males back this month and have a female out of my lines I am looking at breeding to him, so hopefully I will be back in the game in no time.

Again welcome and sounds like you have quite a pack going.

so do hunt them or did u before u got hurt ? never been around any one with redbones but thought i should try all of them before i got hooked on one breed

Yes, I used to hunt them at least 4 times a week year round. Mainly lion and bobcat as I prefer to hunt on the mountain, but I started all of them on coon. I had a few that went to go run bear successfully as well. I like a multi-purpose hound.

well how are they on cat? thats what i am really after is a big kitty up a tree. got a good redtick male going last season and got this new male(redbone) and looks promising. a real tree climing fool

well sounds like u got quite a set of dogs ur self havent caught a lion yet but have been out 2 times and both tme got on a cat that had decided to leave the country the night before and we went for long hikes in knee deep snow and then lost one in the mud and then at the elk refuge by lander and had to pull off so its still a work in progress

You will come to find that it is ALWAYS a work in progress. Hounds have a mind of their own most the time. Keep at it that is how you make a hound. Good luck

yes thats what i have been told. i keep telling my friend and my last girlfriend that its a 40 hour a week job in it self, but really its more than 40.but non hunting dog people dont understand. how long u been chasen hounds? thanks for all the aadvice and if i get over that way have to stop in and check ur dogs out. tried to post pics of mine but havent figured it out yet.
