Why?? All they do is kick some lest you break a twig. I like to shoot dead myself but I don't care if a 5month pup dives in with agood dog . If he gets bit he backs uo and dives back in before he finnishes quiting kicking. I'm not a great shot but a fairly good shot.My pups are not Bear dogs put they are not chicken ____ either. Have you ever noticed that a decent leash has a snap on both ends of it? IE a coon goes thud, and you unsnap a tied back dog/pup by the collar. WHY????? Why don't you undo the end tied to the bush And let hin drag the string into the tussle? That way , in case the dogs want to get in a tussle with each other the second the coon quites kicking all you got to do is reach down and grab the string?? You ain't got to stick a bare arm in he middle of a dog fight. A pup thinks he did a world of good whippin a coons ass no matter how bad he gets ate up , but It's diffferent for a pup from a trained dog , which has evry right to be Dominant to put him in his noaccount learning place.

with that old cricket,i would shoot at a coon so many times that the air was filled with smoke,i had to wait a few mintues until the air was clear and go into shooting again.i think i bent the barrel on it sometime or another, i would throw the thing up a bluff so i had 2 free hands to climb up with.they are tough little guns and they are lite enough to throw up a bluff if need be.lol

them independent dogs seems like are harder to train.a man gave me a young dog that was very independent,i hunted hard and got him to treeing,but i never liked him much. the track had to be really hot before he would run a coon,in places where theres alot of coon he might have been the next best thing,but around here a dog cant always get a good hot track to run,so its better to have at least a medium nosed dog or you might not get a bark at all. my cur pup is independent when it comes to hunting,he hunts the same by hisself or with other dogs but he will back another dog on the tree.i have the same amount of use for a independent dog as i do a dog that want come back when you turn em loose.lol
