So did the dogs track the bear or did this brian fella?


Why do they find the tracks for the dogs anyway? Too trashy to free cast or another reason us big game rookies dont know about?


I realy want to know, because it seems like the tracks are found for them rather there hunting bobcat, bear, couger, whatever.


Coondogs have to wade through all the trash and find a coon track to run on there own. Cant big game dogs do that?

Big game populations are not as dense as coon populations. I suppose you could road your dog down the road for twenty miles before you find a cat track, or you could leave your dog in the box and have them fresh when you find a track crossing the road. Some days you don't even find a track.

Coons are one of the trash animals that are always messing us up when we are bear hunting. You can't go anywhere without striking one of them.

Also, I think big game hunters are a little different than you. We are out there for the day, and I think most of us have taken a picture of a track at some time. We just get more out of the expierience than strike, tree, lets get home.

How ironic. Bear, lion, and bobcats are the trash we have trouble beaking our hounds from. Add to that a possum or deer once in a while.

Had to send a dog down south once because she could run a shock collar dead if she got on a bear chase.

Had another one that treed 21 bobcats in one kill season before the tap dance I did on her head finaly got the point across.

Funny thing was both of them could fly on there bear,deer, or bobcat track, and stood on there heads when they tried to run a cold coon track.

Custer,
I think Kyle did a good job of responding to your somewhat abrassive questions. If you are interested in understanding why different hunters use different methods of hunting for different types of game. You might have better luck asking less offensive questions, and not bad mouthing things you don't understand.

Brian was out driving in the mountains and found the big grizzly track and took a picture of it. He had no intentions of running it, and he couldn't legally anyway.

Hellcat just posted the picture to see how many people would know what the track was made by.

It was supposed to be a fun thread, not a controversial one.
I'm not looking to start an arguement, but I would like to keep one from starting.

Custer...

I will have to agree with Dustin in saying that your questions could definately be worded a bit differently. Or maybe that was your intention?...I don't truly know. And Kyle did a very good job (much better than I would have) in answering your questions. It is obvious you didn't know what the track is and that it is illegal to run a Grizzly bear with hounds.

It appears to me that you either need better methods/equipment for training or that you need to switch to a different bloodline of dogs. If you constantly have trouble with off game, it's time to switch something.

If you truly do want to learn why we do things the way we do, look it up and ease off on the abrasiveness.
