I am gonna pull my hair out !!!
Well guys I have always enjoyed pushing young dogs and watching them progress to a nice hound,but this week I am about to take up golf and I hate golf lol. Here is my problem; The last few nights neither young dog will stay hooked. two nights ago my male got in a good ways run the track good, came on to the tree nice stayed for about 5 min and as I was getting close away he goes and never looked back,he goes on about 500 yds gets struck again same story same ending. He pulled this crap again and then just bogged down on the track and I walked in and caught him. I went down the road and sent him back for one more dump he got struck run in and treed on a den and stayed put. Tonight took the young male and young female both sent the male down one draw and went and sent the female on the other side of the road. The male gets in about 450 gets struck pushes it down the creek, female gets struck at about 350 in the opposite direction, male gets treed at 950 start heading his way and he shuts it down, female gets treed at 975 yds still in the opposite direction blowing it down get within 60 yds and she shuts it down. What the heck is going on ? the male has always been a stay put tree dog not the hardest dog on a tree but a solid tree dog now he isn't stayin hooked for nothing. He has gotten good at running them down and catching them and I'm wondering if this has created a whole new set of problems. The female has had a problem in the earlier stages of being a little gun shy but a hard hard tree dog now you get within range of her and she will shut it down and move on or mill around. She will tree all night until you get within 50 yds of her I know the shooting bothered her so I didn't over do it and took it slow but how do you get them over this both hounds are way to good to give up on so I need some advice before I have to buy golf clubs that I will end up breaking . lol thanks mike
