Does anybody keep a hound or 2 in the box to get a race started if there no fresh sign. We have done it with running hounds for coyote huntin with greyhounds. Opinions or thoughts?

My local farms aren't big enough for my cold nosed hounds.  Before  I knew better I tried it.  I have a walker that winds from the box and I have thought about bringing him to some of the farms to ride and wind, then turn the other dogs loose.  We using him at the hunting lease to find hogs and turn the young hounds out with high success.  Might just have to try it with the cur dogs.

It's good to do if you don't have cold nose curs. Took me years to get curs with cold noses. I used to always keep a Plott to get a cold track going around here. Now I just hunt yellers Smiley

Hounds are mostly what I hunt.  I hunt huge tracks of ground, so dogs roaming isn't a problem.  But a hound will go until they find a hog, sometimes that can be miles.  If you are hunting a place where you have boundaries, hounds aren't always the best option.
