Thanks for the replies.

Northrunner- sorry to hear about your poor luck with the pups

Anyone here ever get hounds or pups out of Biggerstaff? Would like to hear any experiences with them. Thanks

How old is the dog? I had one that hated running through bouldery stuff until he hit about 1.5 yrs. Now he runs and jumps from rock to rock like a goat, to the point where it can be pretty nerve-racking to watch some times. He's super comfortable in the rocks now, but we run in that type of terrain ...

Thanks to everyone for the replies. I'm glad I'm not the only one that this has happened to! This female definitely knew we were behind her so the sneak mode theory definitely could be possible in this situation. We'll be back in that same country to try again at some point. I figure that's the only...

Hope to get a little insight from folks with more experience with trailing lions in desert conditions . What substrate do your dogs have the most issues trailing across and which seem to be easier? I ran a fresh female track today for fun across a large area that was basically beach sand with sporad...

Alpha worked fine yesterday, today turns on to the black "Garmin" screen and the green bar at the bottom gets to halfway full, then it turns off on its own. Battery is at 100% - same thing happens when it is plugged in. Any one else have similar issues? or have a solution?

I have browsed Ty Evans' website and will probably be calling them shortly gor a chat. Mike, that is actually one of the websites I visited before posting here and I spent a considerable amount of time cruising through his YouTube channel as well. I understand the dangers of horses/mules pretty well...

I'm starting to seriously consider getting a couple mules to hunt lion with in NM so I can cover a bit more ground instead of walking everywhere. I'm looking to get some advice as to how best to get started. I've looked online at some clinics but they all seem to require having a mule - which seems ...

I will have to look for that book.

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing

Anyone have recommendations for reference materials on breeding/genetics? I'm looking to gain some insight on proper selection of breeding pairs, how traits may/may not be passed on via breeding, things to know for first time breeding, etc. I'm not planning on breeding anything anytime soon, as I cu...

I have just been trying to gather ideas prior to building my first "real" truck box. Hope it works for you once you get it mounted up

Jeff,

How's the box working for you? Anything you would change? Have any pics of the finished product?

I'm in for one!

Anyone have any ideas on an automatic feeder setup? I'm having trouble finding someone to swing by and feed dogs while I'm out of town, so I'm looking for some kind of automatic feeder to tide me over for 3-4 days while I'm gone so I don't have to drag dogs along. Currently have 3 in a shared kennel...

I think that it would really depend on what the lion was up to. Sometimes it seems like when they are in cruising mode they can go 10 miles overnight, so probably a low chance of us being able to overcome 2 nights of that kind of travel. However, it also could have made a kill or been layed up not t...
