Everybody knows your dogs are fast dean.
All the bs aside. why don't you talk about nose, or bottom? You got bill nye the science guy with ya. What's your end on a good ol nose, tackin a track and finishing it. And bottom? In thick ol stuff?
This thread wasn't about my dogs, I posted that because I've not ever seen speed talked about or discussed on this forum in the way I just did. I'm trying to contribute original thought provoking discussions. As far as your science guy comment goes, here is one for you. I'm trying to talk dogs using my neocortex brain. The responses you and Parker throw back at me are from the limbic part of your brains.
As far as nose on my dogs, I've feilded that question many times and nothing has changed. I'll give you a recent example of my young stag to in hopes of making you happy. Had a couple stags in the truck with me the other night. Herd one give out a yelp. I stopped, they bailed out the back, went 640 yards and hit a pig.
Bottom - I'll create another thread addressing my thoughts on it as I see it with my style and type of dogs I hunt with, when time allows.
Track dogs are great, bottom is great, grinding out a long track is great, I like all good hunting dogs.
As far as discussing hunting in brush, we'll I tried to have that discussion the other day. First to really understand the brush the way I do and what takes place in it and the dynamics of things, we must first understand what takes place in the open and why. Tried to have that discussion but most everyone got hung up on the open and couldn't move past it. It seemed to have struck everybody in the limbic part of their brain.
