Walk/road

Where I live and hunt there is gaswell roads and old mining/logging roads all over the place. I take and turn them on those roads and road hunt them so far then send them up hollars along side the road. Mine road hunt and drop hunt well. I do make sure I drop hunt them more often. But the roads are handy in these mnts as far as taking walking to tree cut in time can drive above walk down and be picked up on the next road down

Example of a hunt last night :
It was very hot and humid. Turned loose on a gravel road along a small creek that is over 1000 yards that ends at a cemetery and has small hollers and drains on each side of it. Hunted to where the road ended. Then sent the hound up 2 small hollers where the road forks. Hunted them out and loaded them up.

Just plain walking. I dont like hunting from a road or turning a dog loose on a road not even a small dirt road. I know a dog that when turned loose literally would not even hunt the woods but would leave out and just go find a road to run down. Dog was ruined.

The second coon is always harder those are the ones i like anyway walk hunting makes a better dog lettn dogs run down a rd is just lazy.

I can send my dogs into a woods 1/2 mile off the road from the road, but they know where their going

i like hunting off the tailgate. send the dog in the woods & sit & listen to the track n tree. then walk to the dog.

im old school i like walk hunting just mosey through the woods but im 65 and my buddy is 71 you see howthe deer travel and enjoy the nite i got a buddy thats lazy he drop hunts so he don't have ta walk

i prefer and use all three ways if the dogs will fit the bill and make for an enjoyable hunt.

I walk hunt, that's the way I learned to coon hunt. I'm 63 and years ago we didn't have the tracking systems we have today. When you cut loose you had to hit the woods to keep the dogs in hearing in these mountains. I have all the bells and whistles as they say, but I prefer to walk hunt, get out and enjoy the woods.

walk huntin

im a doin things the same way as mr. allen is I was taught to coon hunt by a man about 65 now he did have the bells and wistles and tracking devices but, when he was teachin me to run hounds you got your butt out the truck walked them dogs to the woods and kicked them loose then wait just a few minutes and start following them. and hed tell me don't come home without them dogs boy you follow them. I think he always knew id bring them back mainly cause he knew there was no way they wouldn't tree a coon and stay but he showed me the right way to start and its the way I hunt now. im also half his age and hes heavy set and that ol'man still runs the woods just as good as me! just my 2cents worth. but to each they own you want to road hunt rig hunt or walk the woods you still running them hounds and that's what its about.

I walk hunt. Every once in awhile they get far enough out we gotta get in the truck and take the road up and around on the other side. But rarely.

I try to do all of the above. I like being able to go hunt with anyone so my dog has been hunted all different ways. I feel it makes for a more rounded dog.

I walk hunt but if I get half a chance to hunt off of a 4 wheeler thats what I do. Cast them and when they tree drive all the way to the tree, cast them and do it again. You can flat put a lot of hunting on a dog like that.

I was started into the sport walk hunting and that is still what most of my hunting consists of. Like somebody else above stated I normally cast the dogs wait a couple minutes and then start following slowly behind, most of the time I can get a strike within few hundred yards of cutting loose and by the time I get in toward them they're treed. I am fortunate enough to have a gyp that has been a natural rig dog and I do enjoy hunting that way with the access to several miles of National forest roads.

I pull up into a set of big river bottoms that have small patches along the river and corn fields with some big patches. I color up 2-3 dogs and start cutting them across these fields about 1\2 mile till they hit timber. Then I put my boots and light on and unload the four wheeler and start gathering them up all on different trees most the time. When I get to their tree I recut the ones that need to be and bring the ones back that don't. Anything that gets their feet on the road gets fried road runners don't live long in these parts.
