Hounds?

Well I'll take you're word for it since you have a lot more experience then me I have another question for you you start hounds about what age!? Same like a cur dog or do you go earlier later? What's the best time and also you do mock hunts? Or just let them learn in the woods?

These might be dumb questions just wanna know what to look for because I never owned a hound I've used cur dogs before and.. Didn't care for the ones I owned not knocking them because I have buddy's that have awesome cur dogs I just never Owned one worth anything, I'm a Jagd man. Ha

Just like colder nose dogs and always wanted to try a hound out.

Thanks for the input.
