Dave I agree that being laid up should not make a dog back up. A coon dog should be able to go tree coon if only hunted 4 times a year but when I have a young dog, as I always seem to do, I hunt thru the summer just to get him as far along as I can. But yes I smile when I see "needs to be hunted up" and just figure the dog has never done much but they're hoping some day he will.
Tom, I agree 100 percent, a young dog regardless of ability definitely needs the hunting experience to achieve their best. It's these older dogs that just needs hunted up that gets my goat. I agree that there are way too many dogs that have to be hunted hard just to achieve mediocre results in my book. I do not have time for mediocrity in dogs, horses or anything I use in my daily life. It is just as cheap to feed the good ones as it is with the average ones. Dave
