I have a bunch of info on running coons and my walker's coming along nicely but eventually down the road I'd like to introduce bobcats and get into that. Do you use the same basic training techniques? Thanks

i would say pretty much , i think what make a cat dog is the style the dog moves a track. u want a dog that knows when to shut up and move . if your dog stands on its head and opens . he will not make a cat dog in my opion. he might catch a few cats but thats not a cat dog. if your dog slick trees on coon dont even waste your time putting him on a cat. there are alot more things i could bring up but i have to leave some stuff for the rest of the guys to tell u.

Ok thanks a lot, appreciate the insight. Please feel free to add more too as I'm still pretty green concerning hound hunting
