the old timer that taught me to hunt holds his pups back and turns them in when an older dog strikes. I would do like mike and jeff said hold one back in the box if possible then when you let them out hold their heads up and tell them to "listen" repeat it till they are paying attention to the dog ...

Thanks for your reply southern fox, I'm glad you explained how they run as well. I forgot to ask that in my post, neither one of us had a clue on how a red runs compared to a grey or a coyote

Is there anyone that runs/catches reds in steep, mountainous terrain, is it even possible to catch them in areas that are heavily wooded with lots of brush and cover. A friend and I had a discussion about this I run greys in California I think even the area I hunt it would take a heck of a dog to ...

For those that don't know already check out humanewatch.org it tells the truth about how corrupted and underhanded the HSUS is ! And congrats to maine !

if you are interested in the leopards maybe try getting a hold of nick riley i know someone who got a dog from him. i went with him to pick the dog up nick is a really nice guy and honest and he has some nice dogs that tree lions and bobcats

IMG_0498.PNG I have a dollins plott and walker/running dog not sure which, possibly trigg. He runs fox and coon he turned two at the end of may and started treeing fox on his own in late february. Tight mouth on a fox usually doesnt open till its jumped, and doesnt open on coon until they are treed ...

first fox on his own a few months ago

I always enjoy talking to more experienced houndsman and the knowledge someone such as yourself has to offer i appreciate you taking time out of your day to share with me. sounds like you have ...

thanks again 1bludawg i sent tried to send you a pm not sure if it went through or not

Thanks 1bludawg yeah he did first solo fox tree ! Pretty proud day for me to say the least !

plott/walker/ and some type of running dog tirgg i think

Thanks for the advice, that is kinda why I asked I think he trees a little loose and has let the fox come out the past two times the same thing has happened he is treed for close to am hour and I couldn't locate him in time to get to the tree before he leaves out of there running again, it has also ...

The old timer that taught me to run hounds re-runs the fox after he is treed. It is how my dog learned to run fox and how he has taught all of his dogs for over 50 years I know a lot of people in my area do it and i see it as a very affective way to train young dogs, especially when the fox has ...

good advice from the other guys. Also can you elaborate a little more how long have you had the dogs, what are they doing when you take them hunting ? Do they go out and hunt are they starting any tracks ? In my opinion i would try bonding with the dogs first spending a lot of time with them getting ...

thanks flip for the advice. I do kick out every fox that we can to the dogs and my dog will run and tree those on his own last week we had two trees and two different kick outs. First one i let my dog go first and he treed it before anybody caught up to him. The second one i let him go last and he ...
