Re: Let’s talk.

That is awesome. I've never seen hardly any of my races. And I've been out the last 3 times without finding a cat track, but the kids get awful excited when we let a dog go on anything.

Re: Kennel Heater

I have heard a lot of bad stories with heaters in barns so that doesn't surprise me. I'm planning on building a brand new kennel next year and doing major insulation. Just feeling a little guilty currently with a few sub zero nights. They're doing fine with extra food but still. It would also help i...

Kennel Heater

Hi guys, anybody run heat in their kennels? What do you use? Do you still put any loose bedding in?

Re: Let’s talk.

Went out today against all judgement to find something in the bare frozen ground. One track a month old (I know because it was under the snow in some places. Had some really great deer races though, gotta train somehow it might as well be trash breaking.

Re: Let’s talk.

My dogs have only been off the chain in the yard for 2 months now. Will be another month before deer season is over. They are... enthusiastic... about letting me know it's time to go do something.

Re: Littermate syndrome in hounds

Not sure this applies because they're not littermates, but we have a great Pyrenees that has raised 2 hound puppies for me. Not nursed but after they were weaned were kept with her always. They don't have a problem being away from her at all.

Re: Castration and hunting drive

That's pretty good insight thank you. I realized yesterday that some of my females even have been grolwing at the one male so wonder if it's more him. At any rate that male tried to bite me yesterday while doctoring him so that makes the decision pretty easy now. Sent from my SM-G981V using Tapatalk

Castration and hunting drive

I got 2 intact males that seem to be set on killing each other. Thinking of cutting them but the guys I hunt with say they won't hunt near as hard. Anybody have experience with this can give some insight?

Re: How do ya’ll keep so many dogs

I have 5 hounds plus a house dog right now and it's too much. I think I really want to stay at 4 hounds because I know I couldn't give more than that the time they need. Realistically I don't give these the time they need but I want to have enough to tree a bear on my own. I think it helps to have t...

Re: Long range antenna

I have the above antenna and another I don't know the brand. I can testify the above will consistently track farther than my other. Maybe 15-20% farther but hard to say.

Re: Brushing off

I know our dogs have switched bear after a jumped race but I have no evidence it was a strategic move by the bear. Have had a couple jumped races blow up on a porcupine. I have no idea how that happens. I know coyotes will seek out and run right in a herd of deer for a while, seen that multiple time...

BNC quick connects for long range antenna

I'm trying to put a BNC quick connect end on my long range, not the kind that screws on but where you splice and crimp it don't on. I am not an electrician. I watched a few videos and thought I had it down but when I'm done I get pretty much zero connection. Not any better than with no antenna conne...

Re: Let’s talk.

I'm quite sure we could catch more bears with silent dogs. We have some runners that when they get ahead they will open ground on the dogs at every crossing. If the dogs got up on then without giving them that had start i know they would catch more. I think a big part of it is the group I hunt in. W...
