hood hunting

I used to go everywhere bobcat and lion hunting in different states, I saw more striking rigs out west especially where they hunting snow ground, I have actually seen plott hounds walkers buleticks that were used too watching for tracks in front of the truck, lots of times they would sigt see the distubance in new snow and bawl or whimper up to 20 t0 50 yards away while we were in 4x4 low range with lockers and wide snow tires and chains and always a front mounted receiver winch if slid off the road or need to pull somebody else out. I did not like snow hunting at all, it was usally about a lot of wannabees with coon dogs dumping in on other people dog packs and racing to the tree with a snowmobile to claim the lion or bobct for a paid guided hutner that sometimes was not even within 100 miles, they would call the paid sport and tie the dogs back and sit and babysit the cat tree until he arrived and shot the cat, usually not much dog work trailing up a hungary sow and they shoot lil cats too for the $$$ in some place, Best place to see a dry ground lion hunt is with somebody who has a real strike dog off the rig and has mules in the bed with dry ground dogs, we went on several 2 day tracking hunts sleeping against saddles in sleeping bags with a few dogs in camp held back on leads tied to the mules to help up find the dogs if they outran us and go over a mountin or cutback where we could nto hear or get the mules thru. I have not tried to go lion hunting in over 10 years so i am sure a lot of states have cut if back or outlawed it completely now or only during the winter with snow, I have seen some lion dogs especilly bobcat dogs from outwest strike bobcats off the font rig at 50 miles an hour. I never did like the dogs people put on the dog boxes due to lots dotn watch them nd if they dotn open lound and its cold you wont hear them, I cant remember how many times i loved to watch Lavons blck mouth curs or Billy dont Blevine dogs wind nd whine and try to jump off that old flat powerwagon flat hood, those were glory days kinda. Now days there are so many hogs you can get on tv with a silent great dane with jewerlylol Just kidding kinda, but i have seen some of that propganda he put up in the feedstores down here about other hogdoggers doing it wrong with more than 1 or 2 dogs and was not imressed. To each his own....but buy a flashing light and tie it to that great danes tail and a bell to his neck so he wont get killed if he ever runs into dogkillers like we have down here next to the refuge at aransas, heck we got sows with tootheys like lota boars i see sometimes and they still run like deer for miles if they hear a dog bark if they been dogged a lotlol.
