Bobcat hunting with hounds......

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hillbilly:
Yep, I've had a few good ones and a lot of bad ones in all the breeds. One thing I always seemed to have really good luck with for coons and bears both was a bluetick/Plott cross. You can't register mixed breeds like that, but I never was into competition hunting anyway.

The cross breeds are healthier anyway. The best lion, bear, and bobcat hunter I know uses mixed up dogs.

     I spent most of my time training bird dogs but have a special place for the hounds in my heart. Some of my fondest memories are my trips back to missisisipi runniing coons or deer at night. I brought home a blue tic, redbone cross puppy but never put it on game. Sure do miss those days. Steve

Ryano:
These cats don't tend to stay in the tree long here either. They usually jump out when they see a human approaching. We've killed a few in past years by cutting them off and shooting them on the run. Problem is here there are so many rock crevasses and holes....

Justin seems like pretty much all the walkers you see around here are very hot nosed dogs. Seems like the problem is people have been breeding them for that hot nose to get these night hunt champions.... ::)

Steve, There's nothing like hunting with the big hounds. I just love to hear them run. Coon hunting is a blast around here, you can go into any little piece of woods and tree two or three in short order.

Ryan, you need to get a dog from a little farther west where they are bred for hunting cats. You wouldn't have a Thoroughbred to run the quarter mile, so why have a coon dog to run cats.  ;)
