I started 2 pups in the pen. Took them three times. Each time they did a little better but didn't set the world on fire. Took them out in the woods behind the house and they hunted out, struck, trailed and jumped a coyote - took him for a good ride till it crossed out of the block. Never went back ...

We had about 8 inches of powder snow last Friday night. Temps in the teens. Saturday morning not a track to be found. Freecasted a huge swamp for several hours - nothing there laying we could stir up. Found a partly snowed in track around noon under the hemlocks and was able to get that track ...

The web site to check out is http://www.kcshounds.com. Several PA and NY cat hunters on there. Of the 4 most successful cat hunters I know of in those two states - 2 use walkers, 1 uses Plotts and one uses Plotts and Mt Curs. I don't know of anyone using Blue dogs.

A dog hunted on yotes for that long may be a little too loose of a track dog to do a good job on a cat track, but if given enough opportunities, she may tighten up and learn to screw them down. I'd give it a try. Just like yote hunting (with snow), find a track and drop her, or as others say, walk ...

I saw this posted on another site. I'll try and get contact info and info for camping and lodging.

Good luck in your venture. I'm right there with you in the quest to make a cat dog. Buy the book "Bobcat Dog" by David Peightal. I think if you go back a couple pages on this forum you'll find ordering info for it. I'm not finished with it yet, but it certainly got me thinking alot differently.

So Dewey, at what age do you typically feel your dogs have passed their prime?

I realize it can vary from dog to dog, but on average, at what age would say a dog has gone from being a high producing dog to more of a "pup trainer" ??

Best I've seen was taking, running and jumping a cat on a confirmed 12 hr track. One thing I've seen this year with the bitter cold temps we've had, is my dog being to take a track when it's minus 10 degrees and running it better than when it's 25 degrees and getting warmer as the day goes on. I ...

Liz,
Why delete #4?

Sorry to change the subject on you guys, but when you say "put bait up" do you literally mean up off the ground? I thought I heard of people doing this so the yotes don't clean out all the bait, just checking??
