I was curious to know peoples opinions on how many dogs to run on a mountian lion? Would one older grity dog and two 6-13 month pups be effective enough to tree big toms. WHAT is YOUR opinionPS im always looking for my next dog!! (bobcat, coon, lion)

2 dogs will probably tree more lions than a big pack of dogs, but 1 bad day could leave ya training pups for the next couple years. Ideal in my opinion would be two main dogs and two up and coming pups at all times.

I hunt with friends and family... been on chases with alot of dogs. Most of the funnest hunts have been is just me and one or two dogs. I had a run last winter where I had my ol female tree all day by herself. I had another run where my old male and a young pup held a young tom in a tree over night until I got to them...... Two or three dogs I think is best just incase something goes bad, like houndem said
