varies from year to year. last year one out of seventeen lions... this year 1 bob up, 1 bob down.. 1 lion up, 1 lion down.... bottom line..some need harvested for management however we enjoy running our dogs...period..having cats to chase will depend on hunter ethics and values cooresponding with ...

I'm glad to hear it! anytime we can publicly put our sport in
" good light" is an oppurtunity we need against the anti-hounders! Good luck and represent all of us well! We'll be listening

I hope alot of people choose to recieve and then email/call. It is very important for houndsman of all states to work together. Precedents set in any state can/will affect the state we live in. The future of our sport depends on all of us not just a few.

HI JUST WANTING TO SAY ANY TIME YOU WANT TO GO LION HUNTING YOU ARE WELCOME TO GO WITH ME. I CATCH 15 TO 20 A SEASON LAST YEAR WE TOOK 1 CAT OUT OF 17 WE TREED HE WENT 147 LBS. THE YEAR BEFORE THAT MY DOUGHTER TOOK HER FIRST CAT 170 LBS TREED 11 CATS THAT YEAR . AS FAR AS LODGING GOES YOU CAN STAY ...

During the winter I'm concerned about the short haired dogs once they tree. We build warming fires for them and us if possible however sometimes by the time we get them back to the box they are sooo cold. Do you folks notice a difference and what do you do for the dog? I'm not trying to sound like ...

thanks to all of you.. yes mostly we run snow or half snow... depends on the weather. right now is rain, snow, sleet, yuck! I'm just looking for ways to capitalize on my dogs' abilities.(and gas prices lol!) .obviously just plain go hunting.. but any advantage is an oppurtunity to pursue!

congrats! Hope the weather cooperates better soon.

Always gotta chuckle when the Game Dep. makes a mistake! Did he get a ticket Lynx are in different areas of the state but not locally...

great photos.The ones with kids involved are the best. Happy hunting!

Congrats to both of you.. Beautiful cat.. We enjoy our kids hunting almost more than our own

As I wrote to others on here , thanks to guys like you who are willing to share with all of us..I agree about the wool, even wet it's insulating powers are amazing and life saving. Also the cold weather will dehydrate you and the dogs without your realizing it so try to pack plenty of liquids.

The fascination of what is lost will propell many to eagerly await this documentary. Tales of pioneers in the hound community are full of lessons and I can't wait for more.. Thanks to guys like you who get excited to share with everyone!

I am fascinated with learning all I can about this beautiful creature. I recently read about lions killing bobcats... Have any of you come across that? I had assumed they did not bother each other in competition for food so ......

Since the wolves came it seems the cats here are alot grittier, hang out in the worst places and sometimes more aggressive with the dogs..especially females. Not everytime but more than used to..Our vet has noticed an increase in hound injuries over the last few years.
They are treeing in some nasty ...

do you have lynx? Bobcat #s here seem to be slowing down..lack of food plus the prices for pelts the last few years have taken a toll I think. Quota numbers are down in our region. We finally got one (42 lb) Very exciting but not likely to occur again(that size)..but we'lll be happy with any size ...
