It can be done but not done with complete justice. You prolly can't train 5-6 dogs at one time. But hunting them up it can be done if you have the ground. Dump 2 dogs out, drive a mile dump two dogs out. Go back to the first two go to the trees take them back to the truck run them home then pic up the other two. Go to a a fresh spot dump them both, drive to the second two and take them off the tree. By the time you get back the last two should be treed and you've spent 6-8 hours in the woods and hunted six dogs. Wick hunted more than six this is how he did it but he hunted and old dog and two pups on each dump.

I've hunted dogs for money so I know from experience at 300 a dog and all my hunting spots within 5 miles of home I never made a dime. But I knew what the dogs were doing usually they were Treed before I got back in the truck. I just let em.stay hooked. If the left I knew. I only hunted four dogs at a time. I enjoyed it but I have a real job now and don't live with my folks anymore. Ppl who are making money at it get my full appreciation if in fact they were hunting the dogs as hard as I did. I literally hunted the pads off a few dogs feet. Some nights i had to leave the hounds up. But I hunted 90 nights in a row one season back then.

it can be done easily esp. if you dont have a job and you got 20,000 acres of private land and then 60,000 acres of public land butted right up to each, and its right out the back door.

Hunting young dogs is my fulltime job.I like to keep it at four dogs and no more than five.I don't see how guys do it for $250 a month.There is no way you could do the dogs justice if it was a second job.There are many nights when I don't get to bed till after daylight.It is not the glamourous job that alot of people believe it would be.It is very expensive(little profit) and more often than not the peoples idea of how far along their dog is,no where even comes close to my evaluation.And as the james put here you do have to beware.Many of those daylight ends come from a moral responsibilty to give the other guys dogs their moneys worth after you have had a longer than expected drop earlier in the evening.Or I will go to a one hour PKC hunt during the week and get done there,and run home to make some drops with clients dogs.The worst part of this job is that if you do have morals and you are trying to competition hunt your own dog.Your own dog is usually the one not getting hunted correctly enough.
