I use them for coon and am happy with them, and I have some friends that use them for bear.

I think it depends, if a guy is only puting an hour or so a day in a round pen or arena I say no way. But if a your riding long circles on them and useing them hard then maybe.
I think alot depends on the colt. I dont usualy grain any of my horses unless they need it, and never as a reward.

The ticks are starting to come out around here, and I noticed my border collie had a bunch
on him. So picked some up. I can't remember the name but they are the bright orange y-tex
insecticide tags. Good luck so far with ticks. But only had them on for about a week.
They do look kind of funny with ...

Ive got about a half acre feneced with 4 ft field fence with a hot wire top and bottom.
No problems so far, been useing it for a couple months. I kennel them at night or when
Im gone.

Im not an expert, but I have the dc-30 and most everyone Ive talked to prefers them.
heard the dc-40 have problems and arent worth the extra money

just my 2 cents

I know a guy that breeds them over on the oregon coast. Im useing one that he loaned me and its a coon machine. He also hunts bear with them in cali, if you want
I can PM you his info.

another thing that comes in handy is to teach your horse to hobble

I usually use flat wide web shoes like sx7, sx8 or extra ez

walk with wick is a good one.

Ive got an old johnson merlin and a garmin. I mainly just use my garmin. its also kinda
nice because you can tell what theyre running alot of times by the track on the hand
held, since i have one dog thats kind of trashy But i mostly hunt coon so they dont get out of range most of the time.

Ive been noticeing that the first night or two of a cold snap we dont seem to do as well
and also on full moons dont seem to do as good. around here seems like 8:00 or so is
good and just gets better from then on. but i go when ever i get time.
just what ive seen lately

hello
been lurking around here for a while, even posted a couple times but never got around
to introducing myself.
My name is casey and i live in sw oregon. i run 2 jagd males and a walker female.
mostly hunt coon and greys even though i havnt caught a grey yet. been doing
alright on coons though ...

You guys are probaly right about breeding, problem is im not sure what her breeding is
and even if I did I wouldnt know what to make of it. The guy I got her from said she
was pretty well bred, but you know how that goes. but I figure Ill give her a fair
chance and see how it goes

good huntin
casey

thanks guys
I guess im gettin ahead of myself, shes only a year old and been on 10 or so coon
but only 5 trees because my jagds catch on the ground alot. she did a little better
last night, but the coons treed really high so she couldnt see em. I did chain the
other dogs and play with a dead coon ...

thanks DeVuono
ill sure give it a try. Headed out in about an hour or so.




thanks
