Hound cur cross
Billy, I was a walker man fom 76 untilt this past spring when I gave my last walker to a fellow breeder, Wesley Willard, of the Coma line we had bred for 20 plus years. When I was at the height of my coon hunting, I was fortunate to have access to 4 or 5 private clubs located behind the levee in the miss. Delta. We used horses and went at them hard. Ten or more years ago I got into curs for squirrels. Looking back now I wished I'd done what you are planning, walker/cur cross. We killed lots of coon but our dogs would go too straight and far. Two years ago, looking for another cur, I met mr. Don Rogers. He lives 15 or so miles east of Oxford,ms. He had a 9 month old pup wild as a buck. For $150, I couldnt go wrong. I've paid many times more than that for pups. She was bred by a man from new Albany, ms. Her daddy was a reg. mtn. Cur, her mom was a half bird dog half b&t. It took a month of constant petting to make friends. That fall I hunted her by herself. After 10 or so hunts she tree a squirrel. I killed a few that year. Last year I killed 50 or so. I hunt her by herself. She's been with a friends cur once. We killed the 8 she treed. She hunts in a dead run, goes 5 to 6 hundreds and ALWAYS comes back by me. If squirrels are out she takes them as she gets to them. If not she ranges out to the 600 yards. According to my garmin, she'll go 20 or so miles in a 4 hour hunt. She trees coons too. At some point this winter I'm coon hunting her. Right now, I deer hunt everyday. If I'd had this cross 20 years ago, I firmly believe we'd have doubled our kill on coons. I bred her this spring to a local reg mtn cur. My pup has the go in her. I'll break her out in January.
Make your cross, you'll be happy you did.
