Rigging bobcats

[al baldwin]

Mule man, sure I made some mistakes, sure was not always perfect, but broke more than one dog. Also lost sleep at times trying to figure out hounds. Made it out yesterday with friend Tom Hawkins and his dogs, got lucky and tree near road, terrain so rugged I did not go to the tree. Darn Menier/s makes walking in rough ground very challenging. Good to hear from you. Al

 it took me years to realize that most of the piss bushes were not coyotes but cat piss bushes. I did not realize that they were not coyote bushes until i stated hunted in eastern oregon in snow. Dogs will strike a bobcat bush and go pee on it thinking it was coyote i caused my on problem. I think most faults that we see in dogs are caused by poor breeding or more so not understanding what our dogs is doing and faulting the dog when we are putting our expectations onto what a dog should be doing and ignorance at reading what's truly happening.

Al, I have no finished dogs at all at this time rig or otherwise! The two I’ve had recently one died prematurely the other is retired, too old and arthritic. I’ve got a box full that’ll rig but no telling what it is. I’m working on it but it’s a hard task when I don’t know what it is.
A buddy told me once though, if you’re not having problems you’re not hunting.

Scrub, if a person started from scratch with no broke straight cat dog, no place to buy or borrow one, how long do you think it would take to wind up with 8-12 broke straight bobcat dogs. I’m talking in our area La, ala. Fla.
