I guess every area is different and so are hunters. I cannot imagine trailing a cat for 12 hours. I really enjoy a hard hunting dog that when they finally do open on a track it can be jumped fairly quickly.

how long does a one dog, grey fox race last from jump to tree??

I like smaller dogs bc they don't eat as much lol.
But the dogs we are hunting the bigger stronger dogs are the quickest for the most part.

I commend y'all for hunting 3 and 4 dogs I really do. We go to hear a gut wrenching race and I'd rather sit at home and watch cartoons with the kids than listen to 3 dogs run. With that being said a key element to making a cat dog is a cat. And quite a few cat races a month. We hunt 25 head and a bo...

Two things come to mind in regards to dogs breaking themselves off deer. One is the breeding. The old lines of non papered grey fox / cat dogs in SEVA and NENC have proven time again that when kept in good company they will break. Another is is kind of a spin off off the first one. And that is equip...

The board is mighty slow. I could've posted this on the Fox forum as well but this one has more visitors. I have a straight running walkers for mainly grey fox hunting but we catch the occasional coyote and a few bobcats as well. Most of the dogs are registered hotter nosed NENC bred or SEVA bred do...

I doubt that keen lemon gyp is gonna be big enough for you...

damn... sorry

We all have brains, the way we absorb things and execute said things is the key. If a dog is has the right equipment you most definitely can "hunt the brains into them." If that weren't true the best litter of pups I ever had were out of two deer dogs, that never ran deer and treed like cr...

Boy this got Off Topic quick.
I ask myself who in this race can i not go hunting without and who can i part with? Or who screwed this up. Or who dont i ever hear calling some shots? If you don't get overly attached to them they keep and cull themselves.

This was on nc va line. All of our hunting is with in 50 to 60 miles of the coast and hunt both states.
I had to work during this hunt so i cant claim the photo credit or the dog work.

Jumping out

Our ground is so thick you can get a 30 to 45 min race out of a grey fox with 25 dogs... If the woods is tall mature trees and open underneath, there isnt a fox there.

Alot of our dogs will stay. I used to care about them staying at the hole but not so much now. We dont dig em up anymore because we dont have alot of game.
