Hornet is almost 4. Same as rubi. He’s been on a lot of cats.

And an update on Fern and Hornet Fern has recovered from her early season woes. She is t running the full race yet, but is going to trees. She’s looking up, locating and treeing pretty good. Hornet is cold nosed tracking machine. I was told by the guy I got him from that he was. His draw back is tre...

Well I wrapped up the bear training season with a couple good hunts. Went south last weekend to hunt with some new friends and we treed 7 bears in 6 hunts. My dogs didn’t do great but they made some progress and my Rubi dog ran the last bear from truck to tree. She’s locating and treeing hard Last n...

Not that many people post but there are lots of lurkers

I don’t think I can answer that. My buddy’s lead dog can move a track really fast and certainly takes colder tracks than my dogs do. But when the track is hot, my dogs push him for the lead but the difference is he’s never coming off that track. You’re either picking him up at a tree or cutting him ...

My Stephen’s are full open and my mountain cur is semi open but since she hot nosed seems like she’s full open on bears. For cats she’s pretty quite until there jumped

Lawdawg, I’ve just always been drawn to curs. I started coon hunting with terriers and I always felt like curs were a step up towards big game. Plus I like to do things the hard way. I really want to see if I can get it done with curs. I’ve seen it done but trying them yourself with out a finished d...

Well I haven’t shared anything on here in a while so I figured I’d give you guys an update on my status. My goal is to be able to tree bears and cats with an all cur pack. This was our first season running bear. My older dog Rubi (4 mtn cur) has become my check dog. She’s more hot nosed but won’t tr...

Well I had a rough start to the year. Poor conditions and my jeep decided to fall apart. Took me 2 and a half weeks to get the jeep straightened out, a week to talk the wife into trading it in and taking on a car payment and a week to get the new rig. Finally got some good conditions and a fresh bob...

Sounds like a fun time Joe!!! Haha

Rowdy, glad to hear your ok. Hope your able to get back to normal soon.

Joe, sounds like fun either way. What part of Idaho where you in?

Yeah that makes sense. I was just killing time before bear opened and trying to get my pup on some game.

I’ll go back in a while and see once school is out for the summer

I’ve been trying to get my pup some work on coon by taking her down to the river with my older dog. Seems like the coons are scarce right now. Only found I track on the river bank and dogs haven’t struck any either. She’s starting to search good though and attempting to keep up with my older dog. I’...

That’s scary. Can people catch it?

Nice video Joe! Nice cat! I got out this afternoon to a wma on the river hoping for a trash breaking opportunity. Didn’t happen but I did find what I think was an old lion track in what little snow was there. I started picking up some Saturday work so I can save up for a snow machine for next winter...
