Starting your hounds on Rigs

[jcathunter]

I'm in Orofino. I've rigged quite a few cats this winter although my dogs are not what I'd call rig dogs for cat. I know another guy who bought a dog from Oregon and it came here and started rigging cats just like it should. There is also an outfitter who was booked pretty full this winter and, despite no snow, caught quite a few lions and bobcat for his clients by rigging. I've got one young dog that came out of wyoming that started striking cats out of the box for me this winter and I think he'll shape up to be a nice rig dog once I get him cleaned up a bit. (he also never misses a coyote ahhaha)

That's good stuff. I guess my dumbass just always thinks of the southwest boys when talkin bout lion hunting hence the reason for my comment earlier.

I have plots that rig bobcats and lion from box and tree them. I live in south west Idaho. I do pretty good don't find one evry time out but do good enough to make me happy. I have a friend that had a house bred walker that that could rig 2 day old lion tracks . he wouldn't let you miss them. One winter he treed over 20 lions and half or more were rigged. One thing that is nice is when there is no snow you don't have any competition. I do a lot of walk hunting in cat country and catch dry ground a lot to .

If its the Walker dog I'm thinkin of then I can say that he sure impressed me when I seen him during bear season. What a dog!

I believe that dog could do just about anything you wanted him to do and he was a well made good lookin sumbitch to boot.

I seen him act a bit touchy but never seen an actual fight but you are right a lot of those dogs are like that. I should know.

Don't throw off on walkers. Most of the dogs I have run have been walkers and walker crosses and I never seen them start a tree fight. I had a Plott and a bluetick treefighter both of those dogs didn't last long. I have seen some pretty bad tree fights, so I have zero tolerance for tree fighters.

You must have had a lot of pissed off buddys! In my eyes a dog that fights should be culled or at best never hunted with other dogs jmo Andy
