Bloodhounds on big game???

Just wondering if anybody runs big game and/or small game with bloodhounds. I know some people cross coonhounds over on bloodhounds to get the majestic hounds, but I'm wondering how many people run true bloodhounds. I like the look of the majestics and if anybody has or wants to share any information on them that'd be appreciated as well since they have bloodhound in them, but I'm really looking to learn about good hunting lines of bloodhounds if any exist.

All input is appreciated, thanks.

Iv always wanted to run a bloodhound on bear myself... from what I have read and what I understand the bloodhound breed like many breeds have had the hunt bred out of them.... If your looking for one bred for its trailing ability you would have to find the lines that are still bred for man tracking. Like the dogs they use around prisons and such... or dogs bred for search and rescue or something along those lines would be the best bet.

Majestic Hounds

About ten years ago I hauled my two good black and tans down to Arizona and spent a couple weeks running cats with a local lion hunter down there. One morning when we were unloading hounds and horses on a ranch that had been having lion problems, up pulls another rig and a father & son team from down there get out and let out four of the rangiest, houndy looking dogs I had ever laid eyes on. I asked if they were Walker's, or Walker- cross dogs and they said nope, straight up bloodhounds. Majestic-bred, old bloodlines. They said they caught some static from other houndsman about the bloodhounds being too slow, but said they didn't seem to have that problem. Long story short, we went south on the ranch, and they went north, twelve hours later back at the catch pens where we left our trucks and trailers here come the two men, four tired, but happy hounds, and a real nice 145 pound tom. That's a pretty big cat for down there, his center pads on both front feet had holes worn in them like an old shoe, from age, rough country, and long miles. We never did get a cat caught in my two weeks, but at least I got to see one---courtesy of some Majestic Bloodhounds!!
