Good stuff guys. Ark96 - cool weather has been in short supply lately. It sure makes hunting alot funner when you don’t have to worry about the dogs gettin hot.
Cajun - I also appreciate listening to a hound work out a cold track & get one located. I got started in dogs as a Coonhunter back in the 80’s. A nice bawl mouth on track with a long quivering locate that changes over to a steady chop when trees/bayed is fine music! Races are exciting & fun listening too. Unfortunately, it’s getting more populated and our places here in North Texas are getting smaller all the time. A real deal cast dog with true bottom will get you in a bind around here. BTW- I’m sure the Louisiana hogs were glad y’all went up north and focused on bears for a while!
Shotgun, Not only the heat like you guys are having but we are in a major drought around here with burn ban in place. Ther is just no water on the ground. Our branches have dried up and you will kill a hound quick or any dog with bottom. I like hunting in the summer as long as there is water on the ground. We have had very little rain and it is a dust bowl riding the atv around here. We are supposed to get some rain today but it has been hit or miss. Too bad too cause the dogs are really fit now.
We feel ya over here in North Texas Cajun!
