Snow depth could play a big factor I would think in the winter.

Beagles could become easy prey for wolves and mountain lions too!

Maybe I’m the one miss understanding who the Friend/Hunting Buddy is that ShadyGrove is referring to, but my guess is it's the hunters hound/dog, not a human being!

One more adventure on a list that must be approaching a mile in length!

Glad you got them home safe and sound bud! Ah.........the adventures of a hound man!

Maybe a book in the making???

Try CKC judges.

Hare don’t “pull stunts” to throw hounds of their trail. They are merely doing the same thing they do when being pursued by any other animal or bird of prey. Running for their life according to how eminent the danger is. Big runs on hare are usually caused by the hound or hounds able to apply enough...

For the most part most game pursued by hounds will only run as far and as fast as it has to in order to eliminate the threat of becoming lunch! Wild animals dont expend any more energy than they have to in order to survive. Really good track dogs will make their own good running on good scenting day...

Glad you guys were able to save her. Had to be horrible for her and such a helpless feeling for her owner. I imagine he’s pretty thankful you were there to help.

I always carry my Victorinox multi-tool on my belt. Very similar to a Leatherman.

Wire cutters built in along with several other features. I’m lost without it!

Weasel. Often no sign or very minimal sign of blood. They’ll kill seemingly for the fun of it. They’ll decimate a pen of pet or meat rabbits. Wipe out a flock of chickens too in a matter of a few minutes.

Running your dogs in a pen with little cover will create habits you don’t want! i.e. when having a check they quickly learn to pick their head up and look for the rabbit/hare as opposed to staying in the check area looking for the line. They also learn to run all over the place helter skelter lookin...

I bought my first tracking collars (Wildlife) in Jan. 2000. I lost a young female Beagle on Dec. 31st 1999 for 21 days. I live in NH and there were several nights below 0° in that 3 week span. I went everyday looking for her. Finally my hunting buddy was able to get her on the 21st day. I ordered my...

A good dog should run both well. Maybe some day I will get one :) Key word here being "Should"! That would be a rare find and I'd be very surprised if you or anyone else could ever reproduce that with any semblance of consistency. I've owned only one that would come close to being able to meet thos...

Learning to shoot with both eyes open helps too.

Thanks to Chris Miller for getting my account straightened out! It's been quite awhile since I've been able to post here. No fault of the administrator. Had not been able to contact Bev through the board process and didn't have her personal contact info. Decided to give Chris a try and he immediatel...
