I have a gsp who will point rabbits and tree squirrels(not much of a bay though). I don't discourage him from either, mostly because I will eat a squirrel and rabbit and their both legal to take with dogs.
When he was younger he tracked deer before I broke him off of that(mostly) and even tracked a ...

The more I see this the more I want to stay in the northeast. I don't like my dogs getting killed.

Has anyone ever seen a cur dog or feist bird hunt regularly? I'm looking for a dog and although I do mostly bird hunting, I'm looking at getting into both squirrel hunting and some yote decoying. The problem is I can only have one dog at the moment.

I have always been interested in become a hunting guide but never really knew where to get started. Then today I came across a website that was for a hunting guide school. So I was wondering if any of you guys have ever gone to one of these schools or known anyone who has gone to these schools. I ...

I'm looking into getting a cur dog. I'm planning on useing it for coon hunting and as a decoy dog for yotes. is there any type of cur that would be better at this work then the others. or a certain bloodline breed for this type of work.

mtncurhunter could you post some pics of your dogs.

thanks for the info guys.

Where I am in NY, we can only chase bear legally for a few months in the summer, and only during daylight hours. When we're nite hunting for coon, the dogs do ...

Now the thing that has me worried is if i move to a state where i can hunt bear or bobcat is there a way to get a dog to run game ...

I live in morris county. I'm about an hour from the water gap and about 45 mins from NY.

I was wondering what the houndsmen in New Jersey run your dogs on. And how hard is it to get on some decent land with game on it. I'm interested in running some hounds but worried about not being able to have enough game.
