Number of hounds

[dbor]

How many hounds do you hunt at one time???

Depends on conditions, what specie you are hunting, and what's the main purpose of the hunt.

Depending on those factors it may be anywhere from 2 to 10 dogs.

I agree, just thought I would get something going on this part of the site... I have been hunting hounds for a long time here in WA. State. Even back when you could hunt like a human... Before I-655... I am down to three grade females...Walkers... Hunting legal game...hunting raccoon's, just not the same...

Uh how many dogs do I have in my box?
for me this is what I try for
Bobs - 1 or 2
Lions - 2 to 4
Bears - 2 to how every many I can throw down. Usually like to have more than two though.

i think if your hunting more  often then not, 4 older dogs and 1 young dog is a far amount, run all of them on bear, and maybe rotate them on coon(but always hunting the young dog) same goes for beagles, maybe 3-4 older dogs with a pup or two thrown in the race. thats what i normally try to run

I like to hunt three to four hounds for coon, no need for any more than that. Right now I'm huntin two walker female's and a male black&tan. The best hunts I've had though was with just one good old coon dog that could get the job done.
