I have hunted Ladner BMC's for 22 years now. I have always used mine for squirrel and coon. But I have sold a few pups to a guy in Wisconsin that uses them on Bears. He waits till the bear is jumped and then sends in the curs to put him up. He calls them the heat seeking missiles. They put the bear ...

Haha. Trick question hey.

If you want easy then your not ready to be a houndmen.

Don't matter what breed you train it's all patience, understanding and dedication. You have to eat, breath and live hunting to have good dogs consistently.

If your worried about money then your probably going into the wrong sport. Bear hunting costs lots!

For sure they do. Seen it in enough pups no matter what the breed. I've seen it in my BMC"s but in their case it usually runs anywhere from 7 months old to 3 years. Depending on the dog.

As a fellow taxidermist I would have to say excellent job!!!!! Looks great

Sorry for your loss.

How old was your male?

Thanks Buck tice. Where you from?

I sold a couple Blackmouth cur pups to a guy in Wisconsin that used them for bear. When the hounds jumped the bear they would send in the curs, as he called them the heat seeking missiles, to put it up a tree. He loved his for bear.

Thank you.

I have found a real nice male in Afton MI to breed her too.

Thank you all for your advice and opinions. I've really enjoyed this read.

Good story.

My Blackmouth curs will flush and tree grouse. I use them for squirrel and coon and they don't get to far out so I consider a grouse a bonus. Nothing like an all around meat dog!!

Thanks guys. That thought never even crossed my mind. I guess I need think outside the box once in a while.
