Anybody on here run coyotes for pleasure with running dogs. Seems most everybody on here hunts with a tree hound or cross bred.

What kind of country you hunt?? I purchased me a few coyote dogs from Illinois about a month ago and it has taken a little while for them to get use to my thick country... They were use to the wind hitting them in the face now the brush and briars hit them.... but they are getting better and I am learning how and where and such to find the coyotes...We have a lot of them but we have many different blocks and they are not in every one... just a learning game.... my dogs are walkers,, walker/july crosses and full blooded julys... they seem fast with good mouths...

I'm in south ms. We have some of the thickest over growth and hurricane ravaged woods. It's nothing for dogs to run all the hair off their front legs and nose from briars. I hunt in flat country with lots of coyotes. Wish we had some wide open farm country to run here. Running dogs are all that's hunted on coyote and fox here.

I run grey fox too but don't like em cause they tree. Would rather run a red fox or coyote. Out greys here run like rabbits and don't cover much ground. The reds wil stretch out and give a good chase.

We don't have red fox here but I don't think we would cacth a red in this country it's steep and full of manzanita and white thorn brush but what ever the country is having a good race is all that matters. I have crogen cross dogs and been running Greys for a long time I have some pretty good track dogs right now but am always looking for something new just joined this site and am hoping to meet some new good hunters

Some quicker then others but ya pretty good. I'm sure they miss a tree every now and then and some times there off a few trees but they wind the fox a lot when they locate. I treed 102 last year had a lot of good hunts the races here can last 3 hours and some u catch on the ground but all in all the dog work is a lot of fun

It's a little different here. Fox and coyote races can last for 6 or 8 hours. If a grey trees our dogs just hunt another fox or coyote to run. No tree in my dogs just chase. The woods are to thick for very many catches. It's more of running sport here.
