What some fast dogs might not have is the line control. Without the line control it doesn't matter how fast or slow your hounds are. You need the line control to keep in contact with the rabbit. With lots of speed and no line control, your hound won't be bringing the rabbit back to the gun.eddywilliams wrote:Most rabbits dont have time to think hole when the canines are on their white lil tail ,and I like the big circles it makes the chase longer .I dont like killing a bunch of bunnies id rather hear the chase ,not talking about the dogs in the video .to each his own .SPEED KILLS

Nice dogs and nice videos. Hunt hunt what you like and you'll enjoy it the most, that is for sure. Mark you do a lot of running around Stonewall Jackson Lake?
I was down there a couple weeks back and we did not get into many rabbits?? Everyone has there idea of perfect or a style they enjoy.

Any fool that thinks a fast dog runs 100% of the track doesn't know a rabbit dog or has never hunted over one in the snow.

Re: Video: Eliminating Excuses Why Dogs Can't Run Rabbit
Conroe any fool must be you ,you are the all mighty wizard with all the knowledge ,you must be used to not having one in the front also there are a lot of nice dogs with speed ,line control ..........And yes speed does kill ,Id much rather be standing waiting on one coming back hard than one hopping and squatting (meanwhile the track is getting colder )And in the snow the good ones will walk it down when they have to .I have watched many rabbits get away with a slow dog to med speed hound and less exciting to me .Again Im not talking against the dogs in the video run what you like .

I agree. It was probably in poor taste.

EDDY, i don't know you and you don't know me, but i heard alot about you and if you want to start slinging mud we can, if you think you got some dogs that can fly on snow bring them up this winter and we will see how much track they run.

Re: Video: Eliminating Excuses Why Dogs Can't Run Rabbit
ron i would be more than happy to come on up on the SNOW and show you speed and CONTROL.
I CAN ALSO SHOW YOU THIS FROM MORE THAN ONE HOUND. and i can show also show you a dog that cuts and swings but will out run any thing i drop her with snow or no snow. she might not do it right but she will get it done. all are good footed hounds.
LIKE EDDY SAID SPEED KILLS AND YOU DONT NEED A GUN JUST LET ME KNOW I WOULD LOVE TO BRING THESE HOUNDS OVER YOUR IN MICHIGAN RIGHT?

Re: Video: Eliminating Excuses Why Dogs Can't Run Rabbit
Ive seen alot more people sell there good fast dogs to get somthing like what mark runs. My self included, i pretty much gave away dogs that could easily finish in Progressive Pack, and Mid West SPO to get a kennel full of hounds like that. Most who SH*! on other types have never ran anything but the type they own. Ive ran all types, and bloodlines, they all kill rabbits except traditional brace type hounds. Run what you like, but NO hound runs 100% of the line fast or slow only a fool would claim that, if you think you dogs run 100% of the line most likely there just mouthy, and your not trying to see to much of what they actually do while the rabbits up.
PS i would rather run a rabbit till it cramps up, then over take one with foot speed anyday.

SPEEN N CONTROL!!! If you never had it of course you'll never miss it. But if you've had it you wouldnt want it any other way. it is possible to have, very possible. Try it you might like it. Brains are good to have too, a dog should shut up when it doesn't have the track instead of running around looking like a fool babbling all over the place fooling those that dont know better

Mark,
Keep posting I always enjoy your videos. One thing I can say about you is that you always show it all( good or bad) shooting included LOL!!!! You breed and feed what you like and you do a good job of it. Thats the only thing that counts
