surely as i asked for help training a pup, i got one response so far. thank you. but i went throughh the archives and got alot of info. then i thought. dang, you have a 4 year old walker MIX that doesnt look like any walker i ever saw. the long standing joke with the boylan's is that he is a black lab. they get me every time. i get so mad. but to think, he is one trackin, treein big time coon huntin freak i ever saw. only showed him a cage coon a couple times. i remember when i thought he might have something besides bein my sleepin buddy, it was the middle of winter, night, he was carrying on in the woods. i told the old man and we got dressed trudged up on the hill in knee deep snow, and there he was sittin barkin up this tree. it was a cat. and then he back tracked it and showed us where it came from. i have used cats for him and i know it works. the other day, i was mad because my neighbor informed me that he has shot 6 coons on his property because they raid his deer feeders. no wonder why i cant live trap one. been tryin for 2 months. anyways, just got my pj's on and there goes murphy carrying on. and there was this coon. imagine that , took the pup down in my pj's and he knew to look up in this tiny sappling. well long story short, the pup took the killed coon with his head as high as he could and his tail over his back like he was the king. needless to say, had to change pj's, too muddy and bloody. **** those coons bein in the middle of the pucker brush when i am ready for bed.lol.


bye the way never knew havin that fox would cure him of runnin crap.lol
the pup is "pr" branchville mtn banjo man
the fat guy is murphy the walker mix. his mom is an awesome hunter. when i read either they have it or they dont. i believe it.
any and all responses are appreciated and respected. thanks

Pretty dogs. Great pictures! I can see how having a pet fox would help.

Bottom pic looks like it could be a cross of the dog and fox in the top pic. LOL
All of them are good looking animals.

You are right about being able to start a dog on cats. If you want a coon dog though you should start it on coon and break it off all other trash from day one. Makes it a lot easier down the road when you are wanting it to get treed and stay treed. It is treeing coon and getting praise under every tree. Instead of getting praised under one and spanked under the next one becouse it is the wrong game.
If you want to trap a coon. Find a path were they have been going back and forth, set your trap on it, throw a honey bunin it or under it and come back in the morning.

You can bait them by just throwing your scraps out in the same place. Even off a bridge and go back and set the trap latter. Peanut butter is good to but your neighbor is putting out better bait and more of it. You may have to feed them better than him or ask if you can trap at his feeder. Better yet ask if you can walk your pup down to his feeder after dark for a while. Then you won't need one in a trap.

Might give you a good chance to break it off of dear too if yu have a good shock collar. When your neighbor sees you won't let it chase his dear you may have a real good friend there.

No offence taken. Sounds like you have a good set up to break them early. I live in town. I have a lot of ground to hunt becouse I am a barber and know all the farmers but all I can break them from at home is squirles and cats.

The ones that tell you that are full of crap. Even a bob cat and a house cat don't smell the same. When you get down to it they can even tell one coon frome the other. Around here a dog that will mess with a house cat would get shot. That is all you would tree. There is a lot dumped out in the country.
