Get him out after a fresh snow when you know any track you cut is fresh. Start to walk him on it until he acts like he'll take it and then cut him loose. Keep doing it, if he likes a cat he'll go.

Sometimes farmers are willing to part with a couple of their barn cats since they breed like rabbits. Cut em loose out of a live trap just like a coon, give em a minute head start & cut your dog loose. Good Luck!
