Who has the best bloodline of bobcat dogs in the south? Not worried of color breed just dogs that can get the job done.. Don't care if the green with pink dots or mixed bred. Thanks Randy

They aint in the south, they in the north son. HAHAHA!

Just jack assin, I wouldnt know a cat dog if it bit me in me arse. I got a case of the fulloshits today.

I'm afraid the guys with the best in the south hold on pretty tight to their dogs, Darn few get out.

To loaded of a question, what style of cat dogs, do you just wanna kill cats, id use a cur dog or still mouthed hound there is lots of good lines, do you want to hear a hound bawl or cold trail some? do you wanna road them or free cast Finney clay has some bad to the bone running walker cat dogs but he dont want them to tree he runs them like coyote hunters run yotes, marion graham has some jam up ticked up dogs that cold trail like who dunnit. I know that didn't help but there are to many varibles


And oh yeah i almost forgot when we sent hounds to the north, we sent our opossum dogs so dont choke on your brag boys or we may come take them back and you all will be back to running beagles HA!

Outstanding post! Very funny to. Have a on beer partner.

The ones in the dog box that just drove by......Just ask him. He'll tell you how good they are.

Maybe it's time for me to have one with ya.....

dedeaux26,

I don't know who Waylon is, but he sure has not hunted with Dad if he says we hunt our hounds like Coyote Hounds!(no offense Mr. Dan about Yote Hunters)

Dad has not wanted a treedog since he turned 70 as we finally convinced him that he was too damn old to be trying to go to a tree by himself. Since my wife and I have moved back to take care of he and Mom we have acquired a little treedog that is getting better and better and now has some of the Clay Hounds treeing. Running Walkers will tree when shown that this is what they need to do!

Where do you live and hunt and I will try to direct you to a Cat hunter close to you. The best way to get a Cat dog is to go hunt with someone, if they like you they will let you have one or help you find one. Cat Hounds hard to find, good ones harder to find, good ones for sale are non existent.

The best place to look would be around Jessup GA. There are more Grey Fox/Bobcat Hunters there than anywhere else.

Hope this helps!

PS I don't know if Dads hounds are any good but during the month of August we treed 26(looked at more than a few)Bobcat and caught 6 on the ground!

Dads Dogboy...sorry everyone not trying to highjack the post. But I'm curious do you have any idea what the population density of cats is where you guys hunt. I know you hunt alot, I used to think the central coast here was loaded but it seems like that part of the country must have it beat. It sure must be fun, here where I live we are lucky to hunt hard and find one a week.
And as far as the best cat dogs...oh yeah I'd have to agree, just ask that guy that drove by with the dog box...I'm sure he's got'em! All kidding aside it does depend on where and how you want to hunt, get local dogs that produce.

no i have not hunted with finney clay, i have had the ocassion to visit with him over the phone 3 or 4 years ago several times, he did not say he hunted them like coyote hunters i just said that because when he told me he did not want a tree dog he wanted them to catch them on the ground it sounded like coyote hunting we do here in Osage county, running them down until they stop to fight or die trying. I was not trying to come across like we were ol buddies or imply anything other than what i gathered from him. I do however know he had or has if he still hunts some of the best cat hounds around because some folks i knew that did hunt with him before said so and there word was as good as gold. My apoligies if you thought different and my opion is simply that opion. with all that being said have a good ride and keep your powder dry

On the type of dog i want something that can cold trail a cat.. I like cur dogs but would rather hear the race. I would like to catch cats but wanta hear the race that is most of the fun.. Oh and Location is in south Ms. Thanks everyone for the responses and keep them coming ,, Randy

I won't say that he has the best bobcat dog in the southwest but bobby and tommy farmer have the best bobcat dogs I've seen. Not only the best bobcat dogs but the best all around dogs. Whatever they get put on they catch. And they have plenty of them. Most people have one lead dog, these guys have five or six lead dogs. I'm sure their are better dogs out there I just havet seen them.

Folks,

Waylon thanks for the PM, as I said my response was more as a dig to Mr. Dan's Yote hunters. Most Cat hunters would rather be accused of voting for Obama than be called a Yote Runner!

LizOdell, the studies that we have read, and somewhere on here I posted a link to it, states that here in this part of FL, we probably have two Sow Cat per section and a Tom per every two sections. Our research indicates that when the Pine Plantations are the right size that number might be low! We might have the desity that they normally have in South Tx with 4 Sows per section and One Tom per section and a half. The rabbit cycle is @ its peak right now, when it falls the Cat numbers will drop.

dedeaux26, you need to talk to Harold Parker @ Sumerall, MS for info and to learn about the game. Aother hunter is Gerald Page in the Poplarville area. It is a tough game to play but there are folks that will help a serious individual!

I hope some day I can come hunt with yall down there and run them cats but................"Mr. Dan's Yote hunters", you are gonna have to quite puttin me in that category with all them other fellas. HAHAHAHA! I dont even have a cb or radio in my truck if that means anything to ya. Wouldnt matter if I did, there aint nobody to call. HAHA!

"Coyote hunters" dont like the way I do it.

Mr. Dan,

I wished that I had had you, your mule, and damn sure my mule this morning!

We ran a Big Tom up and down an SMZ about 450 yds from the road. The SMZ was surrounded by Pine Plantations about head high. We could have stayed right with them and not gotten as wet as I did walking into them!

What no CB on your saddle? You dont have you laptop mounted with your Garmin on the Saddle Horn? No Sat. Phone in the Saddle bags? You must come into the 21st Century Mr. Dan.

I will watch my language and not refer to you as a "Yote Hunter" but as a "Hound and Mule" Man Extroidanaire!

CJC

Now you're just makin me blush. HAHAHA!
