David, David, David, Shame on you. Inciting violence on BGH. I had no idea you suffered the same problem that Texan Big N Blue has. DILUSIONALISIM. He has a excuse how ever. He has been in Texas so long he actually believes everything is big in Texas. ( Big clumsy, Big eared, Big bodied, and unfortunately SLOOOO. Hounds ) We are making progress with straitening him out. But you will have to please wait in line for your turn for therapy. It is a slow process, and the line is long. But I am sure distinguished.



Take care, Willie

LMAO the problem with you Willie is that you obviously have not seen a hundred pound lightening bolt!!
spech, running dogs are no harder to break as any other breed. When you know they are wrong bust their butt and try to get them on game of choice as soon as possible. David gave sound advise on putting a handle on them. Makes hunting much more enjoyable when dogs mind you!

Good luck!

Blue no disrespect to anyone, putting a handle on a dog is the first thing I always worked on. Problem is that did not work for me when one reached the age when they decided to run trash. I have owned some very sensitive dogs that it took a little more than NO!, TO STOP THEM FOR TRASH RUNNING, especially if they had been allowed to run them awhile. Thing is most of those were outlawing on coyote, and the method I described is what worked for me, coarse did not have a pen so a little tougher. Coarse, never use any more force than needed to stop the problem. Now if that young hunter had an ecollar for all his dogs, no need to separate those youngsters just break both at once. But I thought he only had one ecollar.
Mark very true, few coyote hunters use blue to run coyote, but have seen some that were blue in color that sure run them with moderate success here in this steep brushy terrain. If yotes are thin as he stated, blue just might be a big help working up a cold scent & if he happen to move a jump correct might surprise you there. And who knows, if they happen on a cat, would be nice to have something to bark at a tree! I know Willie was just trying to get reaction from the bluetick fanciers. Surely, with all the hunting he has done he realizes all blues are not slow, If not,
can/t believe he has seen many blue dogs.
Blue can/t agree more, running dogs no harder to trash break than other breeds, first true check dog on deer I ever seen was a full blooded running dog, he was tested often & never seen him fail to check, Al

Mark,
I knew an old trapper once that used a Bluetick to help him locate Coyotes on drags he trapped. His bluetick would sometimes catch up to the Coyote when it got hung up in the tight cover. Does that qualify as successful?

I new an old trapper that used a bluetick to FOLLOW his trapped Yotes too. Bet it was the same Ole guy. I don't think there was two blue dogs that good, do ya????



Take care, Willie

i have broke hundreds, aint one alive that cant be broke, the key is knowing what there doing when there doing it, if there wrong a hot collar will do the trick, but one must be 100% knowing that there wrong either have a broke dog or look at the track when they cross a road, i go to run fox or cat nothing else, don't hunt anything else even with a gun, and nothing pisses me off any worse than to have a deer race, when i know one is 100% wrong i shock till he is under the truck or in it, and i am blowing the horn and hollering, so he is getting taught 2 things at once to not trash and to come !!!
