The one gun I will not allow anyone shooting a bear when my dogs are present is a 44 mag. Pistol or rifle it's a poor choice. I imagine someone can load a decent load..but I'm not checking ballistics when I'm running dogs. I prefer a smaller gun, and always a head shot.

I ended up getting mine from John Houben in West Virginia
, he is a house dog. He runs with the pack can run hot tracks to medium hot tracks alone or lead the pack(garmin)...line bred cajun. He sheds like crazy. He is tough not stupid gritty(yet)but plenty gritty. He hasn't given me any trouble with ...

It's like going back in time. Not that far back in time either. Michigan overharvested bear in the six or ...

Try John Houben in West Virginia. The dogs he sells are line bred Cajun(Thom's). He advertises in Full Cry and that is where I got mine from. Nice dog.

I have one. I did some research on Vaughn Plotts. I contacted Bob Plott and asked my friend Rich Hare to ask his good friend and Vaughn's former hunting partner Bud Lyon. According to Rich, Bud said Plott hunted with airedales prior to hunting with Bud, prior to 1950. Bob Plott thought that Vaughn ...
