We use kemmers here in East TN. Our dogs freecast and find their own game. Being a small group it's better than trying to rig a bear as the competition is fierce.

Yes we had a really good season. Treed several bears and my dogs were in on a couple kills. Ran and killed a few hogs too. What about you?

I carry a Henry 44.mag for bear and hog

Those should make some good dogs!

New member to a dead board looks like. Anybody else here?
