Let's follow our last controversial thread with another one because, we don't dodge the tough questions here...right? My question now is, what type of big game hunting would you like to see discussed on this forum?

When we started it, I guess I assumed it would be for tree game big game, basically bear, lion and bobs. Now I don't have anything against hog hunting, deer dogging or running coyotes I'm just wondering do you want to include it all here or not? I've got to believe that the UKC hounds are more popular in the tree game world. I know that some are also used on the running game but so are a wider variety of breeds including running dogs, catch dogs, terriers, etc.

Do you want to include it all here or limit to tree game and think about another forum for running dogs? Just asking.

In the south alot of dogs are used on bear and hogs, we have just always considered hogs big game.

They can get big and they dam sure are game!!!!

I don't know... I don't run anythin but bear, bob, and coon...

But I know a few that run bear and hog. And a few that run bear and fox, or bear and coyote.... The west has lots of multi-purpose dogs.

If you wanna get technical... Fox would be acceptable, as out here Grey fox climb trees. Not what I'd call BIG game, but it takes a tougher dog to tree one than even a Cat, from what I've seen... I don't know.


I actually like hearing about Coyote running. I'd like to go sometime. I had a person wanting a pup from us to train to be ran on Yotes (but she didn't have any pups) I was all for it.

Yeah I agree with that... Hounds is what we all come here for... So long as it pertains to Hounds running something other than a coon let em be.

If your gonna split hairs It's a big game forum not a big game with hounds only forum.

I think the big game forum should be open to all dogs that hunt big game. Why would you say one breed can't be included when in fact the dog hunts....? I think you have a personal vendetta against the pit bull breed and what it was bred for means nothing about how it is being used today. If someone trees a bear or a lion with a freaking poodle...... they should be able to share the story here and I for one would love to see the pics. Big game means big game....... and big game dogs. Take care. Mason

I agree, big game is big game. I may not like what someone else runs or what they run it with but it is not up to any of us to say they can or can't. If it doesn't interest you skip over it. I don't think that we need anymore division amongst hunting people. We should all support each other, even if it is not our cup of tea. The people that hunt other things spend just as much time as you do or should to get quality dogs.

I hate to be the one who brings it up, but bobcats are not big game. Why would you exclude lynx if you include bobcat? And what about leopards or polar bears. Even though white bears are man tracked and bayed by sled dogs it is pretty cool to watch. No one has mentioned curs. Are they in or out. I think anything you tree or bayup with anything that barks should be open for discussion. Ok maybe limit the terrier task force.

Last time I checked this was the UKC message board. UKC registers American pit bull terriers..... so? The old Bloodlines magazine(before it was Coonhound Bloodlines) used to have match reports..... find out for yourself if you don't believe me. I am all for any big game dog being talked about under the big game forum. I don't hunt Walkers, B&T's, Redbones and several breeds of curs but I still like to see pics of them under a tree and read the story, after all that is what these message boards are for. I say if someone is hunting big game with any breed they should be able to talk about it here. Take care. Mason

Does any one know what dog was the FIRST dog to be registered under ukc ? I think a lot of folks will be surprised.

I am not trying to start nothing but if a dog hunts big game and does a good job at it why discriminate against it?

this is a united KENNEL club site, the forum title is UKC BIG GAME HUNTING. IT DOES NOT SAY tree game only, hounds only, game that bites back only or egocentric pansy only. therefore ALL big game hunted WITH DOGS should be fair game for discussion by ANYONE. JMO
