Title: Elmo (hound)
Post by: mulehunter on June 10, 2011, 12:04:50 PM: Wedensday 8, 2011, Elmo died doing what he was bred to do. Last Bear got caught him and kill him. I will all miss him. He been very very good to me since I trained him to be good hunter dog.
Since Washington took hounds out for cougar. I can't watch him sit at kennel everyday. He have a lot potentially to hunt. I sent him to full time Guide who own hounds run, Guy came pick Elmo deliver to owner last May 25, Elmo got on 12 bears with his dogs. Last bear kill him last wedensday.

:'( its part of sport.
