BIGGAME HOUND

[Mr.pacojack]

Dr. Phil (liontracker)
Go on please tell me what else is wrong with me, you are making such break throughs with me, I feel like I might be able to go out in public again. If only I could go for a hunt with you and learn from you. Please teach me. Grasshopper

Oh man...did I hit a nerve there?

[Mr.pacojack]

Sometimes I just can't help myself from messing with a very stupid person. You are so off base with everything you couldn't hit my neveres if you dropped a atom bomb.
I am having a great time playing with your stupitity.

[liontracker]

Just another shining example of the disrespectful, hijack policy that is perpetuated on this site.

I will start another thread to address this called "Personal Attacks" read it if you are man enough!

Well I don't say much on here, but I can say I agree with both arguments. I live in ca, and have more bear to run then anything. Been hunting since 1972. Not saying that I have all the answers because I don't. I believe that a dog that is started o n cats , and becomes great cat dog, if he has any grit can be a top hound in any department. That is the reason I don't like to start my dogs on bear or really coon for that matter. As everyone knows that hunt biggame ,a cat leaves very minut amount of scent compared to a bear. The difference is like running a ghost or running a garbage truck. So I think you can have boath, but if you have been running bear all year, and start to run cats, I don't feel your dogs will be as sharp as they would be if they were only running cats. I feel when a dog is used to bear, and he likes them , it takes a few weeks to get them aclimated back to cats. My problem is being able to strick enough cats in my country. So i must get a straight cat dog to start the track, then iI know what I'am running. If I'am hunting bear I will us the dog that is goog on all game, but If I'am after cats , I feel I need to hunt the broke cat dog to atleast start the track off the rig then turn the other good dog in. The only thing about trailing a bad cat track with the all around dog is if you cross a good bear track he may break track, and run the bear. Jusy my 2 cents. Thanks Dean Webster

I agree with you I think if you have a Great Bobcat dog you have one hell of a Lion dog on dirt,snow, Frozen snow, Patches.
For some reason I think the Bobcat hunting is a little different back east, maybe someone that has hunted back east out out west could give their input.

Wow liontracker, I usually never get in the middle of things on here but i just cant help myself on this one. I dont know you from anywhere, but did you just say Van and those guys never even get off the road. You obviously dont have a clue what your talking about.

[liontracker]

I said they cut their tracks from the road. The big toms over there hear a truck and turn around. I know because I have to hunt on top of truck tracks made at 2:00 a.m.

[Mr.pacojack]

You are piece of work...

I may not have the gov't. as an excuse to hunt my dogs, but they surely get out way more than you think. I spent 3 yrs in a row, hunting over 200 days per yr., 10 - 14 days straight at a time. I also do not have 5 month old pups that pound a 5 day old frozen in the dirt bobcat track. But I do have veteran hounds that can run a week old frozen in the mud lion track. As for Van running his cat dogs on bear, well that is not what he told me. Besides I catch big toms right in Vans back yard every year that him and the "boys" don't even know exist. Those guys hardly ever leave the road. To them it is all about money and how fast can you fill out and send the shooter home.

And here's the kicker...your hounds are indeed from "fancy french hounds"... where do you think they came from in the first place? The real problem today is that all these super ego type guys who call themselves breeders, have jealously bred the nose right out of them. While at the same time they have everyone convinced they are breeding the "Holy Grail" of the hound world.

The hound world is way bigger than your backyard...

Wow how did I miss this one
It's true....You give a guy enough rope and he will hang himself

[trashy]

You better go read again liontracker and just so you know im one of those guys so i doubt your going to tell me what we do.

[trashy]

Oh sorry im one of the " BOYS " you were talking about.

[liontracker]

Ya' all do much freecasting on foot with those paying shooters?
Is it very productive?
Don't be sorry, it's all about money...

He does whatever it takes, It's Van Johnson you don't become legendary in his line of work sitting on your pockets. I would bet if there was any animal Van wanted caught it better find a good hiding place. Not opinion fact!
