rig dogs

i have hunted a lot with rig dogs i had a female that had never riged before and i made her into a good rig dog by just putting her on the rig and turning her lose every time she would strick once she treed a few coon she taught her self, it is a fun wat to hunt and helps young dogs because most tracks you hit are hot.

Just all 'round , meat gettin' hounds.

Keep doing what you're doing. They either have it in them or they dont. Wouldn't hurt to take a fresh killed coon and hang it in the tree a little off the road, and keep driving by until he strikes, then cut him loose and let him tree on that. Other than that, just keep doing it until he's doing it dependably...and only on what you want him to run.
