That's the best way to go. Cause when they aren't eating bear they're eating each other. That would probably save a lot on food bills. You really wouldn't need to buy dog food again. Just go huting alot, and keep bringing home Plott pups that you can get for free from just about any person around.

HA HA HA HA I almost sprayed pop all over my keyboard, thats a good one!!!

used to own some of the little white angel dogs, boy they sure were growly in the box too. funny how they act all ornery and growly with dogs but when a bear won't climb they run back and hide under the truck. Seems inevitable when you have that many walkers at a tree that you are gonna find one chewed up or worse and think he's a bear eatin machine.... too bad you weren't there fast enough to see the face barking dog fight. Find me a video with 2-4 walkers MAKING a bear that wants to fight climb, sure didn't see taht on the old "picture is worth a thousand words" video.

Cassandra, I bet you're hot when you're angry

i dont think it would be smart to post a video like that on the internet

any breed


my walkers never MADE a bear climb -

they negotiated with them , bribed them, dared them to climb, threatened to sue them if they didnt climb-or just nagged them into it. this is very effective ,,, I have seen 2 walkers and even one tree more than their share -- but those were all bear that secretly wanted to climb anyway --- they were climbers as cubs.......and they just couldnt help it .







im gonna teach my next pup to type-- maybe they can type a bear into climbing

Pete, love to read your posts! Folks like Nelson Cole don't make a living off of dogs unless they are producing! Clients pay upto 2000.00$ to hunt with guides like Nelson and they would not be happy if they where not getting up close and personal with the bear!!!!

My very limited expeirence with bear hunting was by mistake........out coon hunting. I had a half walker/mtn cur I got in Florida and my uncle had 3/4 walker 1/4 redbone. My dog hunted 5 times in Wv. and treed 3 times on 2 bear. Now I can't prove it.......but I truely believe that if we had bear hunted on purpose........we wouldn't had many empty days! That dog of my uncles had treed about 10. They actually culled a coon track for the bear. I know this cause our other 2 dogs treed a coon about 300 yards from where they struck the bear. That dog of my uncles was about 98% accurate on coon. To cull a coon track, makes me think, we could have made a rug or two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See the diference here Larry, is you would own a growly dog. There won't be a growly dog in my yard no matter what color.

I've gone hunting with friends and family and had an upwards of 8-18 dogs on a single tree. ALL Walkers. Get there and not a single issue. Don't even have to tie them back until your ready to go. Not even a wry look over a dead bear.

Mine stay out of trouble, unless they are climbing the tree, they will be sitting back treeing.

But hey, some people can tolorate that sort of thing. The meanest dogs I've ever seen we're mixed up dogs, at least half of them were half Plott, Bluetick, or Walker.

Breed has absolutely nothing to do with it.........breeder has 100% to do with it!!!!!

Please!!!!!!!!!!! someone prove me wrong?????????? I'm serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cassandra, I bet you're hot when you're angry

Thats some funny chit right there. HAHA!

Why do folks feel the need to run more than 3 or 4 dogs on bear? I still do not understand this at all. How do you evaluate and breed and cull when you got so many dogs out there that there is no way in hell you can tell whats goin on?

My grandpa always said, "it only takes one good one"

Paul

what bothers me about all this is the fact that so many good dogs are trashed on just because of there color. ill be the first to admit i aint as good at training and running dogs as most of yall and my dogs aint the best but they can get the job done and i run a mixed pack, walkers plotts redbones and some cross breeds and could care less about color. if its a good dog its a good dog and ill find room in my pack for it regardless of breed. hell ill run a stock dog or bird dog if it will put game up a tree. we all have are own opinions and what works for each of us but come on give the good ones the credit they deserve no matter what they are. and i agree with dan four or five dogs is plenty and if they dont do the job they will be replaced. ive had more problems trying to run eight to ten dogs than it was worth so i cut back. no need to bash each other or treat each other like sh#t just cause we run different dogs. the best dog i ever had was a walker plott cross and id run him over any pure bred dog ive ever hunted with. im sure there is better out there but he did everything i ever wanted and always was at the tree with game in it. good luck to yall and hunt em hard. thats what makes a dog.

Why in the name of Sam Hell would you turn 18 dogs loose to catch a bear?? Oh, never mind I see why "ALL WALKERS"

Ouch!

I caught bear all year with 2 dogs.

But when you get together once or twice a year and have a friend/family hunt, if you have 6 or 7 people with 3-4 dogs, that adds up pretty fast. It's a big cluster**** but it can be fun if it's a once in a while thing.

But hey, I'm not affraid to run my dogs with other people. I don't sit back and pretend have the best dogs ever, and have never even have ran them against anyones.

Well then if I am lucky enough to get away and take up the offer I got to run in Ca. in Oct you will have to come and have some fun.

lots of garbage dogs in all breeds..


nitwit bear hunters too. i think this thread shows that .

if u can condemn a whole breed.. then your a nitwit

if u will allow yourself to stubbornly argue about it i'd say your an even bigger nitwit

which ones best?

its been said before theres more difference within each breed then there is within all tree hounds.. i agree more or less

how many have seen people condemn a breed after seeing only a handful of them? im not saying that to be the case here but maybe something like that

seeing a powerhouse in another breed will make u scratch ur head.. i guarentee ya theres an off colored dog in someones box somewhere thats better than whats in yours

hunt what u like.. breed for the best.. ur all wasting ur time arguing
