great job opportunity has opened in sd and I'm looking into moving. Hound hunting is almost over is Oregon. can and give me some details?

I think mine are usually scenting the cat. let one off the rack and ran nose up to the cat and caught it.

in central Oregon. I don't know how much a trainer would help. but if you've never experienced a dog fire and instincts kick in you be surprised. a single dog on a cat makes them work especially a dog with grit.

summer to winter it changes and breeding season. I think with experience you get a better feel. I don't really look for habitat I hunt east side of the cascades out into the desert. usually just looking over terrain I think to myself "got to be a cat in here"

in Oregon let me know when your season starts we'll tree some.

it's happened to me a few times on short tails. cat goes down a hole or a crack in the rocks. sometimes they will jump 15 feet to the tree and there will be 20 fifty foot pines hard to find the cat. I really think I most losses something like this happened.

What would be your ideal dog box for winter bobcat hunting? Hunted out of a suv since I started. Bought a pickup and I'm looking for a box. Aldergrove dog is what I'm looking at over the rail with strike rack.

Thanks,$1000 a pup is more than I'm willing to spend. I have a dog with some of that blood been doing good here.

I want a pup from him.

Anyone know about Harrell's High Lonesome Blueticks?

Thanks that's good advice. Last few years I've been trying to slow down and enjoy being out out in the woods bobcat or not.

They usually piss on coyote tracks run them out 300 yards full open and come back. If I'm not in the snow I know it's a cat or lion won't touch a bear or coon track. It eastern Oregon mosty desert. For 1 cat track it's around 50 coyote.

Not a lot of bobcat here but a ton of coyotes. I have 3 bobcat dogs. What about running coyotes with them?

Nice to know I'm not the only one.........overthinking what happened or what could of happened or if there's something I should or done or not done. Helps me to sleep at night remembering what my mentor said "trust your dogs" what's even harder is trying to explain all this to a non bobcat...

I run a pit with 2 blueticks on cats. Has proven useful. Pit super protective of her pack.
