Do coonhounds actually run deer? Why I've never heard of such a thing. Well I've never met a man that had a dog that would run a deer, only long legged non-tree climbing coons. Except for mine.

Me and a buddy was running beagles one day and we got to talking and before long we were hearing the best race we ever heard. I look at him and say u know that ain't a rabbit right he said oh yeah. I said leave em alone it sure sounds good. A little while later we walked over the hill and there was dogs and deer running everywhere lol.

Jmiller, yours' is a good question and I never knew for sure until it was too late. I figured if they run hot, straight away it was a deer. But that's not true becausse if they get after a doe with young one they run differently. I don't worry about it now because my dogs have started running fox and i've learned that hearing them run is more fun than looking for eyes that i'm not going to shot. The dogs love it, and they get worn out. they also get faster and better. i don't like running deer because they can run too far. I've seen deer hounds run across the county.

I hate to hear mine run a deer but I love to sit back and listen to someone elses run a good deer race.
I don't mind pups running a deer for a while as long as they quit it and come back. I hate it when they run a deer for .7 to a mile only to pull off it and get treed and then I have to walk all of the way into them.

Just last week at B&T Days I was sitting around camp bragging how I've never had a dog run deer. Then I entered my dog in the Pup Derby that night, we had a full cast of deer dogs by the time it was over.

I was never big on listening to a deer race, any dog worth its salt would be out of hearing PDQ. I still love to listen to a good fox race though. usually the "circle" is all, or most all, within hearing and you can listen to several rounds till it finally holes up somewhere.

as for "how do you know when", experience teaches you to know. a good houndsmen can just about tell you when his dog stubs a toe, let alone what game he/she is running.
