A friend of mine from Athens is in the final cast of the world hunt tonight. Old Hot Rod Lincoln will be tough to beat. Van Pearce owns him and is a good dog man and hard hunter who deserves the win, along with Lincoln being a sure-nuff coon dog.

Lincoln didn't win it but came in third. Thats not too bad for an old country coon dog.

So what i get from your comment halfbreed, is that blue ticks and black and tans are good coon dogs but not suited for competitions. Is that correct? |

not at all . just everybody nose the nose lol . the blueticks and b&t's are know for their ability to run and older track and the walkers have been bred for years to be fast and more of a heads up track drifting style of dog . i've ran em all and there have been several of the dark dogs win the hunts . but the hunts are one to two hour limits and the dog that takes a colder track takes longer to work it out and tree verses a dog that takes a hotter track . but if any of the dogs hit that hot track it's anybodys tree . but yes to answer that question for me a good walker dog is HARD to beat in comp. and when i hit the hunts chaseing the money it will be behind a walker dog lol

When Lincoln was ayoung dog he would trash on a hog some and could flat build a fire under one. People that say a hound can't catch a hog quickly, haven't seen one that can drive a track.

I am not an expert on the hounds but I have seen some cold nosed hounds that caught hogs because they were stick to the track no matter what kind of dogs but those dogs might start a track that the curs have no interest in and they open on the cold tracks...Then I have seen a few walkers that were hotter nosed than my mt. curs that kicked up rocks in your face kind of dogs on their way to the woods that hunted hard and could move a track pretty quick...folks accused that mt. cur world champion (Texas Smoke ) of having some walker in his veins, but the Texas Smoke pups made some hard hunting and gritty hog dogs... |
