New in California

Hi there. I've been running with some houndsmen friends for quite a few years now. This year, they finally talked me into doing it myself (with my husband's help.) They gave me three Walker pups from a litter, so I'm starting with them. We've got some experience and some equipment, but not quite enough of either. I figure we'll either learn on the fly or run away screaming, but they haven't been able to run me off yet.

Here's my son's first bear taken last season:

I hope to be able to take one with our own dogs in a year or two.

Here are my pups:

I'm from the Central Valley. We hunt around the D-6 area. Where exactly depends on where the bears are, but we camp up there for the whole season.
