Hi Matt
Blackjack is coming on strong, he is tracking good and is loud. He is a rig dog, rigging everything. He is trashy, which I like in a young hound. I like a year old to trash on coyote, deer. I have been breaking him off of these of course, however the first few deer runs have been good and long. He has heart, coyote the same thing. He is turnng the corner and becoming a hound. He will be independent as I have seen. Last time out, he struck a coyote, so I let him out. shocked him at about 100 yds and again about 1/4 mile in. He came back second time. He is determined. I also caught him running a wolf......urgh. Yes Coon are considered trash up here. I really pay attention to coon. I have not had to work him over on coon yet, but there is nothing worse than walking a 1 1/2 miles into a swamp to the tree and find its only coon. I try real hard to not give him an opportunity to work with coon. I do not hunt at night and we do not see many coon working during the day. Matt, he is a good hound so far and I am very happy with him. He has good stamina and has been on about 6 bears this season.
Did you ever get to see the pics of him on the bear?
