I'm not trespassing on people to hunt my hounds as all don't know boundaries they just hunt. When I started this coonhuntin adventure and my dogs tree'd behind or on someone I'd just go get em no questions asked no harm/no foul. So what are some of you guys opinions on this?
it sucks, only way i can describe it. i hunt where almost everything private ground and got a ton of ground with permission to have at it, a ton where handling dogs is fine, some where people arent happy but understand dogs are gonna cross lines, and some wish you had bullet proof vest on.
with technology we have with garmin and beeper/shocker i get every dog trained from young on if beeped you come back to where eventually can hear me or where we started. every dog that stays working here can be called off track, tree, ground catch, you name it. sometimes voice, sometimes beeper, sometimes with a tickle but with way things are these days having good handle is as important as anything to me.
since have had good tracking and training equipment almost every dog has been very easily trained to mind as much as i hunt and socialize with dogs.
it can really suck at times calling dogs especially young dogs back from hunting or off a good track. only good thing though is if in reasonable range a guy can start or stop a hunt at any time.
aint gonna lie though my funnest hunts are when know dogs can go for miles and miles in any direction without worry. wish every where was that way!!!
