Thank you for the advice Mr. McDonough, i will keep that in mind when trying to catch one. I need all the help i can get on catching one haha

Thanks for the answers so far I will for sure make obediance a primary objective of mine. It will work out all right he will be around 5-8 months when I have snow here. So we will see how it goes. Anymore tips would be great help.

I am in east tennessee and have been wanting to train a bobcat dog for a while now but my newest prospect was killed. Now in a few weeks when i get my new pup i want to make sure i dont make as many mistakes. I figured why not learn from people who have good cat dogs.
So any tips or how you train ...

Was just wondering how many other cat hunters are in tennessee?

i feel if your hunting in a thick area they are more likely to climb down aLOT....but if your hunting when there isnt as much woods i feel like they dont come down as often
Just my two cents

Sounds like a great race, I dont run fox but just from reading a few posts of yours it sure gets my blood pumping like im there Haha! May have to try it some day

I take my blazer 21 volt belt light, coon squall, phone, camera, extra batteries, lighter,starter kindling, bullets, tracker classic reciever and collar, Garmin and collar, leatherman multi tool, toilet papaer, water, snacks, lead with a coupler, adn a few other small things

Way to go man! No if i could only catch one with my pup haha

You don't have to do it exactly this way, because what works for me may not work for you. First off I would give my pup woods time, give him a ...

Well first step is your going to need to figure out what you want him to hunt? That way so you know how to train him. I would ask around to see what everyone else hunts in Arizona, because i couldnt tell you im in tennessee.

What are you training him on exactly?

So i posted a few times here before ive got a young dog that weve been working on coon, but my main goal for him was to be a bobcat dog. Ive talked to a few of you over many posts and learned alot. Though i was wondering as a new season approaches this fall and winter i was wondering if me and this ...

Ya it is one of my buddies dog. From what ive seen coming out of this pup though, i think he would rather hunt alone. He goes quicker and sometimes ranges farther by himself. It shouldnt be long now till he is treeing on a consistent basis by himself so im just going to keep him from that dog and ...
