I like hounds. When my sons still lived at home i kept a couple all the time. They would hunt them when i could t. I just am not able to anymore. Too many irons in the fire. Not fair to a good honest dog not to hunt it 3-4 days a week if not more. I know lots of people have let them run loose and say its no problem but I could not disagree more. Not just dog treeing posums and leaving trees but its nothing for a hound to get several miles away in just a few minutes. I think they need kenneled or chained if not hunting. So like i said not fair to the dog for me to own one anymore

Been thinking about trying to find a young dog to start if I could find someone that would go with me.

I knew I would find those out there that get it. When your raised with hounds and then curs and such it's in ya. It's a part of ya that never leaves. A lot of people don't understand how wonderful it is to be sitting in the woods and hear a strike from a dog that is true. Davis, find someone and keep it going, life is to short to not hear that music, thanks!

oh,it left me after my last black and tans died. I dont miss it now. Grew up in my youth in the blue ridge in va.......always,i mean Always had hounds. And bear hides on the smokehouse

Nothing weird. I used to have fox hounds and liked to listen to them run when I lived in Kentucky. I miss it too.

That is how I scratch the itch now to. Not practicle to keep coon hounds anymore but running beagles is a close second.

Thanks Big Dave, I would appreciate it much. I wouldn't mind traveling some, I like adventures and meeting good people.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....
