Two years ago I sold all of my dogs and all of my gear, due to frustration with the way Hound Hunting is conducted in WA.  Last winter, around the middle of Dec I was notified I drew a ID non-resident hound permit.  I started collecting gear and dogs again and was ready to go around the middle of Feb.  Sorry, I did not see your offer last year or if I did, since I did not have dogs or gear I probably did not give it much thought.  Sorry you did not get any offers, I guess it's frustrating for all sides concerned.

 I've no doubt you would have Fred. :tup:

 I think you hound guys are going about this the wrong way. If you wanted WDFW to value you and your hounds more I would be hoping hundreds of non hound owners applied and drew permits. When they go down the list of hunters and can't come up with a guy to go in time because the hunter needs to make arrangements with a hound guy, maybe then they would appreciate you guys a little more. :dunno:

Well that was the big stink with the pilot program, The libral democrats didnt like the guiding for non hound hunters. IF a hound hunter ecepts any money for food gas or any compensation its considerd guiding and if you dont have a buisness licence to guide hunters its illegal. Well thats the way I understand it anyways and I wont take any money for gas or food when I take freinds out hunting.

I don't care about killing a cat I just want to work my dogs.  Problem is it did not work out that way either.  I could never get guys to go on a consistent basis.  Once someone got their cat they were done and you can't go out without them.  Plus you get folks from the westside drawing a tag (this is nothing bad about the westside guys, this is just reality) They can't afford to come over every weekend and run the dogs

 I posted an offer last season for ANY of you hound guys that wanted to run your dogs, I would be there so you could run them with my tag. I can leave at a moments notice, I have the resources and am willing to tag along just to take pics.

 Not one hound guy took me up on it!!!
I wish I would have seen that post...I would have loved to take you!
