Title: Trash game.
Post by: WAcoyotehunter on July 21, 2015, 04:06:00 PM: I took my dogs (all 4 hounds) out for a walk the other evening to get some exercise and enjoy a sunset. Of course, I forgot to collar them and was walking across a big shrub steppe area when they all blew up and were baying something. I ran over there figuring it was going to be a coyote pup or something, but it turned out to be a SUPER mad badger. He was rushing them and really wanting a fight, but they stayed clear. I managed to call them all back without anyone getting bit. It got me thinking about all the ridiculous game my dogs have trashed on. I thought it might be fun to make a list or make a little contest of it :o

So far I have had dogs strike or trash on:

1)badger
2)coyote
3)skunk
4)painted turtle... (good story over beers) :dunno:
5)elk
6)deer
7)moose
8)mountain goat
9)porcupine
10)turkey

They have just about covered everything....I'm sure they are 100% broke now! :rolleyes:

Post by: bearpaw on July 21, 2015, 04:48:21 PM: Other hounds! :dunno:
I had a few dogs that I knew were striking something that wasn't right. I finally figured out they were striking every time I crossed roads where another hound dogger had driven through!

Grouse :chuckle:
Years ago we would shoot grouse when bear hunting. I finally figured out that shooting grouse in front of the dogs made them start striking grouse! I stopped doing that! :chuckle:

I've had numerous dogs that I never could completely break off skunks and porkies, there's just something about those two critters that sets dogs off.

Owning hounds always has surprises! :chuckle:

Ohhhh, yeah that pig would have sucked. I suspect the farmer was unpleased.
