looking into maybe getting a walker hound

[Machias]

Shoot that's 4 hour drive even for me.  Bummer

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but can one hunt unit 18 effectively w/o a snowmobile?  I'll drive four hours to hunt wolves.

Yeah guys maybe we all need to get together like the catfishing and go wolf hunting. I bet that'd be fun.

Salmon river copper, I'm excited to see those pups!

[Salmon River Copper]

Ya, its only fun when you aren't surrounded by them!  They are kind of creepy and almost made me poop my pants!  Right now you might be able to go in a 4X4 with chains, but I'm not completely sure. I haven't gone out for two weeks so I don't know what the weather has been doing up there.

I do just fine with my walkers

[Hornseeker]

Oh cmon Brian...you know that Plott and the Bluetic are the go getters there!! 

[Brianshounds]

Them things are just genetic kick backes in my walker breeding.... all the dogs i see there are walkers.,,,,, I had a bear in a coal mine and i never gave them two a bath in the crk.

Walkers pound for pound are hard to beat... There good cat dogs in the winter and they will catch ya some bears in the spring and summer..

Walkers in my opinion are top knotch.

I found a walker hound that was skin and bones a few months ago up by pack wood Washington he is about a yr old great dog I'm guessing he was used for hunting but never could find who owned him he's free to good home

There are good dogs in all breads like someone has said... look around your area and talk to hunters there... I have been running hounds for many years... even when you could hunt like a human in the state of WA...   my partner and I are hunting Walkers... good luck...

So I'm still interested in hounds... I was wanting a tree walker but I'm also interested in a black and tan. Not sure how much different in behavior or how they hunt if theres any difference... What Im wondering now is I can only get one. So how well would one hunt alone for coons? Is it okay to use one hound for cougars in Idaho or is that dangerous? I've never done hound hunting before but it looks like a blast! Also, will either of these hounds be okay if I took him along with a buddy and his hounds?

Sorry I know there's a lit of questions here.... Thanks for any help guys.

I've only hunted with beagles and jack russels, so limited experience compared to some. I've never seen one that wouldn't get straight to hunting after a couple minutes getting to know one another. We frequently hunted rabbits with multiple dogs from multiple homes without problems.
