How y'all doin? My name is Zach I'm 18 and new to hound huntin. I started goin with my friend about 2 years ago, and I've been hooked ever since and I plan on doin it for as long as I can. I have a 1.5 year old walker i got from a friend. She had been on bear and I've had her on cat. HAVENT treed anything and would like some ideas on why she hasn't treed. Thanks

could be she needs more experience or time in the woods tell us more about her and how often she gets hunted etc. hope your able to fully enjoy the sport for a long time to come

I try to get her out every weekend. when i do drags she runs hard and loud and on cat she runs hard and loud. should i run her with some more experienced dogs?

ya u should run her with more dogs.

welcome on board, post up some pics of your hound? well keeps us updated on your walker. good luck

I like letting my older hounds teach my younger ones, My friend has a dog and she ran a bear all by herself, chasing it 100 mph, bear didn't tree though, last Sunday we ran a bear with 8 hounds behing it and it actually treed within 3/4 of a mile. Of course 8 hounds are a little louder and more intimidating then just one. If you have some to run her with, do it as much as possible, if they have good hounds that is!!

i guess i should ask has your hound ever been presented with a chance to tree? if the hound has been to the tree and then failed to tree it may need some encouragement. good tree dogs can usually encourage a new hound to start looking up and treeing.
