Hunting hounds

same here, we treed that one saturday and now we cant keep up with them. dogs is fat and out of shape and so are we!!

 

Need to get this going again. I’ve been Bear hunting and if we had a Bear season I’d definitely hunt them with hounds but I mainly coon hunt.

 

New on here. Hunt hounds, haven't figured out how to post pictures yet. NE Nevada

 

I havnt either lol

 

MY Treeing Walker Coonhound I trained this year

 

I bet you are proud of him!!!

 

I’ve been following coon hounds since the late 70’s and when I was young I mostly never had a decent dog. I guess that why even now in my older years I really appreciate a good hound. I have really enjoyed night hunting since I was a kid

 

Yes I'm very proud of him.He is the fourth generation. That I have raised and trained.

 

How does one get started hunting with dogs? I keep looking, but only ever see how to train a dog - not train myself. That and learning to hunt whitetail, but I'm not interested in hunting just for myself.

I'm from the NJ suburbs so I know nothing about going hunting. I got my Treeing Walker kind of on a whim during the pandemic - she must have ended up in a shelter getting lost hunting. Originally had been broken off squirrel, but she's back on them, since well I didn't give her anything else to hunt. Having moved to Texas now, and getting her to be ok off-leash, I've been looking for more things to do together.

Beyond the obvious (hunters ed, license, shooting practice, knowing the season), how do *I* learn? She still has all the prey drive and tree instincts. I've been thinking of squirrel, rabbit, and/or shed hunting.
