I have sincerely tried to cut back a number of times. I can't hunt them all, and it's expensive to feed them all. Right now I have 6 hounds, ranging from 3 mths to 3 yrs. If I kept the ones I wanted to keep, or regret selling, I would have a herd of dogs. Three of my hounds are females, and hopefully I'll get some good pups out of them.

I was wondering how many hounds the average hunter keeps. I thought it would be interesting to know. I was wondering if I was the only "Crazy" one out here, or are there others that own more than I do.

I just keep two and lately been having trouble keeping them hunted up. One is 5 & the other 3. I generally always kept a young pup around to get started but times change.

We have 3. Legally we can not have more than 3. A kennel license is impossible to get in my township. I would have to get the written permission of everyone within a mile.

I have 4 at the moment, 3 is ideal for me. I usually hunt to myself. So cooning I take 2-3 at a time. I bear hunt as well, and 3-4 is way more than enough. That said I am going to have 2 litters this year, and a Stud fee pup back. So if I keep one from each that 7!

I got 6 right now but that number is going to go down to 4 or 5 by the summer. With a new job I don't have time to keep that many hunted up good.

In my opening remarks, I said my dogs ranged from 3mth. to 3 yrs. Actually, it's from 3 months to 6 yrs. I forgot Nippet's age. Just another sign that I'm getting old!!!

My biggest problem, if it is a problem, is that I like to hunt young dogs. When an experienced hound does good, it's no big deal. I'm dissappointed if they don't! When I get a good young dog, it sets me on fire. To see a young dog progress, getting a little better each time, really gets me going. I need to cut back, I've tried, and one day I will. Uh, Anybody want to buy some dogs!!! I guarantee them to eat good, and they all have good poopers.
