I've gone out a few times wth some local hunters. I only have young dogs at the moment but have been bringing them along for the excersize and hope they pick up on something. The chases have been long and usually end up in a den. Not my favorite type of hunting but it gives the hounds some fun.

It's been going really good lately. Getting both our young dogs going and my new B&T looks real good. Well I had a young Walker male that I gave away but my buddy has his sister that he's been trying to give away. We still have her.

We were out for about 2 hours lastnight and tree'd 4. My young Walker tree'd 2 by himself and was the first to open on the last one we tree'd. If I'm not carefull I might have a good dog on my hands. :lol:

Kill season doesn't start for another 2 weeks but I figured I'd start getting the dogs back into action lastnight. They needed some excersize and figured it couldn't hurt my younger dog any to get under a tree. We made one drop and my young Walker struck first about 10 minutes into it. He hit a corn field and did a great job getting it out. I watched the coon climb the tree about 20 feet infront of me and Duke was the first on the tree. They did a great job.
