if they were loose,they probably werent worth nothing at treeing coon's,if they cant tree,they aren't worth feeding for the hunter

Bud, I was hoping the same thing. Get them into a home where they can work at something, but not sure how they'd be as hunters. Figure they either weren't good hunters or another foreclosure ... we don't see a lot of loose dogs in this area, but they are a bit more frequent with the economy the way it is.

possible. I wouldn't have a clue how to evaluate that. Not hunting season around here, but doesn't mean people weren't hunting illegally. they aren't too popular around here, don't see to many of them

We had a blue tick when I was a kid, waaaaaaay back in the day. She wasn't a working hound, but was a pet and a damn good one. If it weren't for the hound stench and the baying, I'd get another.

[soydaykam]

don't have to hunt to find out if they will tree,training tells ya that,i used to use them,i like blueticks,prefer redbones,but blueticks are great dogs,when you train them,you put a coon in a cage and set it in front of the dog,let the dog see whats in the cage,have a rope tied to the cage and pull it up a tree,the dog should learn that he is supposed to go after it,after he gets its scent,others will let the dog get the scent off the coon while its in the cage,then let it go,,dog should tree it,if you keep doing this and the dog wont tree,it isnt going to work,most will cull em at that point

Thank you! Clyde lives with me now. He's a real good boy, gets along great with my vizsla. I found him at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton in July 2010. In the first month he put on 9 lbs. The next month the vet treated him for heartworm. He's happy and healthy now. I'm sure it's the same dog based on the date and the names. Bonnie was with Clyde at Baypath; she was adopted out to another home.

I bet he was in an apple orchard. He loves apples.

It was an apple orchard! He was such a good boy. I'm glad to hear that he has such a great home. I sent you a private message too.

Good ol California is one of those places i think. They aren't allowed to use GPS collars, but they can use the old beep beep telemetry kind. They are also not allowed to use a knife to to kill a caught hog like the rest of the world does. They have to shoot it.

Any idea why? That sounds ridiculous.

[Desflahd]

It's hard to say about California and game laws. They do all kinds of crazy stuff. No leghold traps or snares, no sticking hogs, no gps collars, no using dogs for lions and who knows what else. They get the idea that something like traps and snares are cruel and out law it and then cry when they're overrun with coyotes. Anybody wonder why? Same deal with sticking hogs. Knives are cruel they say. Apparently they've never seen it done. Somebody told me once they outlawed gps collars because they felt it gave the dogs and hunters an unfair advantage over the pursued game. What a load. That state is first on the list of places I'll never live.

I heard it "takes the sportsmanship out of the hunt" BS.

[Deribasov]

Tracking collars are illegal in some places.

Oops, old thread

What?? Really?

Old thread so what lol we dont follow no rules on this forum!! lol

[Deribasov]

Boggling my mind, because why the eff would a collar used to find your dog if it gets lost be illegal? Crazy people I tell you

[jeaccatty]

I'm surprised that if they were on a hunt that they didn't have tracking collars on. Many many hunters I know that have prize coonhounds put tracking collars on their dogs.

Good luck finding them a home!

Weird.. and stupid lol my Uncle would have lost one of his coon hounds, they were doing a scent trial with him and all of his other dogs made it to the end, but the one hound fucking went 35miles the opposite way and when they got to him he had a damn coon treed lol

I dont understand those "anti-hunting" people, dumb asses wouldnt even have the brain power to come up with such bullshit had we not hunted and ate meat to gain brain power

[jeaccatty]

Well, people regard coonhunting as cruel so they try to cripple the practice any way they can.

[jeaccatty]

I'm a fan of red English hounds myself.

Didn't know that. That's something I guess.

I had a treewalker show up at my house in Oct. He was in terrible shape, and you could see where a collar had been on him far to long, far too tight. We nursed him back to health, registered with every pet finder, shelter, animal control etc. We hung fliers up... even called a few gun clubs. We named him FlapJack and just kind of gave up and kept the little dude.

2nd week of Jan, I got a call from a man almost in Maysville Ky. He sent tons of pictures, offered vet records and everything. When he came for FlapJack it was amazing!!!!! There was no doubt they were family. Jack went nuts when the truck pulled up! His dog was lost since Sep. LilBuddy (his real name) had traveled over 50 miles.

I was sad to see him go, but 1 1/2 weeks later Boo was unloaded on me. So I guess it all worked out.

[jeaccatty]

Yep, the anti-hunters are taking over.

[jeaccatty]

As far as I know it's only illegal for coonhounds. Bird dogs may or may not be allowed to use them.
