I would say..............

40 to 60 times a year or close to once a week or more. The snow and cold is not very fun when it gets deep and is hard to get places with a vehicle. It does slow us down and I don't feel like going when it gets too cold. LOL! That's how the last 2 winters have been, but I still take the dogs out until they say it is time. We don't have bears, but all the others, we do. I don't like my hounds getting on coyotes or fox but we have wounded them before and encouraged them to find them. Probably a mistake. The Mt. lion population in ND has a quota of 8, so it's not like we have a ton of them. Bobcat and coon are fairly abundant and the dogs are encouraged to find them.
Later, DJK

I coon hunt 300 nights a year give or take a few and I also hunt every day of the Tennessee bear season and some of north Carolinas season also. Most of my dogs are hunted on both. I coon hunt some of the dogs just to keep them n shape for bear season.
