had a relative a few years back go into e ledgy area after his dogs after leaving them out overnite.when he reurned his body was lifted out by helicopter.The descent to treed hounds can sometimes be a long awaited sound to the ears that the heart longs for.Houndsman be very careful.

Nice catch Dal! Wish I could have been there to see it.....but it was probably meant for you...seems like things happen for a reason!Joe let me know how the pups doin...wouldnt hurt to take a look at bear..from dallas...Would love to have the dog myself but am overloaded!He would be alot better ...

Very interesting point AH....Well said!!!!

I use a mountain cat 800-I feel a 600 would do it but i ride without dogs some for fun-My biggest reccomendation would be reverse and secondly four stroke-something you can lugg around-I would like four stroke but I mountain ride also-Ive had an 80s model while mine was in the shop=It got the job ...

I guess it depends what day you ask about!I think its like winning the superbowl one year and being at the bottom of the Stats the next. But my hat goes off to those who have spent a lifetime doing it such as the now gone Ben Lily and those such as Del Cameron,Van Johnson, The Farmers,Igrams along ...

Nice videos by the way Dennis! The best ive seen. And I watch a new one every couple of weeks!I bet that record bear would have broken a branch if he had not picked such a big tree!

She liked it good enough though to climb out the box before i could get the truck stopped!I had an older broke rigger with me and he never made a peep!She didnt rig hard at all! but I learned quick with her to ...

I was told to try hard drugs or alchohol and if i could handle that i could afford this! At the time i thought he was joking! It might have been cheaper!Good story on the bob.Still waiting for my first! Close but no cigar!

I Had a 357 on my lion. made a chest shot as he got nervous! Probably the close percussion, drove him strait out in my lap! nearly got some dogs hurt! It may not have been the best placed shot but I traded it off to buy a smaller cal. may also save on the bobcat hides!

For a living dog is better than a dead lion.
For the living know that they shall die:but the dead know not anything,niether have they anymore a reward;for the memory of them is forgotten. Ecc.9:5

Havent had the experience that some of the previous replys have had but when I start the day to hunt,storm or not i hunt.But i have noticed in my travels that if i stay in a good area where i know there are lions and bobs and travel the area over many times throughout the storm, i may cut a good ...

Hi my name is Jarrett Daves. Im from southwest Colorado. It seems as if I spend more green on this hobby than any other by far....But the rewards are so much greater than any ive had! I was hooked from the first cat i seen in a tree!The biggest regret ive had has been that i didnt start sooner! i ...
