    I'll start a separate thread for the people that would be interested in watching Brett Vaughn's YT channel.

    I've not done it myself. You'd have to talk to a man named Floyd Green form AZ. I listened to a podcast interview of him by some predator show and he laid it out there. It was mostly about lion hunting in general but he talked about Ace for a few minutes. I would think that most folks glazed over that part and never really grasped what he was saying. If you do an internet search for it you should be able to come up with it. I just searched and apparently there are a whole bunch of interviews and I don't know which one it is. I'll bet they would be some good listening. Just type in "int

    All of the above. They don't leave a lot of scent and they pull some interesting tricks. It takes the best of the best to catch them consistently, and those dogs are not easy to find.

    Sounds well worth a 14 hour trip to me. I hope to hear how duce and your other dogs go on the jacks. Good luck with the breeding too. Atvb.Edited to add, what else have you run duce on besides coyotes? I'll be roading Duce quite a bit between now and when ever I can get out there. It sounds like there's enough jacks to wear any dog out. I'll be bringing 6 dogs I think. I won't go into everything but he runs canines mostly. He trees pretty well so I take him coon hunting occasionally. I also run him to all of the large birds we have. He does well for a big dog on rabbits. He'll r

    For me it's bobcats. They are more challenging for the dogs than lions. I'm referring to getting them caught and the skills it takes to get there and not the fight. One of the lurchers I sold is in AZ and NM assisting a pack of hounds on lions. It's mainly used to speed things up after the jump and keep the lion from getting to rougher ground or from getting away. The man that has him is a smart one. There's not a lot of people doing that. There are several men that are using some spring loaded terriers to get to lions in the rocks where the hounds have trouble going. If they were f

    I've been bit to many times to count while out coon hunting. I used to hunt around a bunch of farms and when I'd tree a coon in someone's back yard I'd just go up to the house and ask to shoot it out or just pull the dogs if they wanted. It was usually pretty late and I know they were up because my dogs were barking right close to the house. Anyow, I've been bit in the rear end quite a few times and nearly all of the time it was an ACD. Dang things are a sure bite. I usually had plenty of layers on to soften the bite but still...they're a real pain in the behind. Good dogs if they are yo

    Duce has never seen a jack. I do have a friend that just texted me about a hare population boom happening in his area and I'm heading over to his place this fall. He's 14 hours away so it's a bit of a drive but he's got a world class BC that I'm wanting to breed to. If I can make the trip this fall, I'll be bringing Duce and several other dogs along for some fun with those jacks, you can bet on that! They have a thick coyote population also. It should be a seriously good time. The female I'm breeding to his dog should come in heat around the 2nd or 3rd week of October. It'll be a great

    Micky- There's a couple of guys that go to the UP but most just stay local. I would like to go to the UP to run cats but Wi residents can't run bobcats there because of some reciprocity issue about trapping. I've got a few buddies up there that have gotten cat dogs from me that I would like to run with...kind of sucks.

    Not many people take video of encounters with bears. We still have to be somewhat careful of public opinion. The lessons learned from watching the UK loose so much in the way of dogging critters was not lost in America. I don't now a single hunter that isn't at least somewhat familiar with "The Ban" over there. We have a lot more freedom and a lot more land than you folks do and most don't take that for granted. If you made your way over here during the bear dog training season (when you can't kill them but you can run them in July and August), you'd get to see plenty of dog work on ju

    3-5 days a week in the winter. More after my youngest child goes to school this fall. Less in the hottest part of the summer. Every day I can manage to go year round.

    There are folks that run them on hogs and bears. That seems like a bit of a waste but if you have enough dogs and don't mid loosing one once in a while it would work. They'll run anything and have plenty of fight...the good ones anyhow.

    As you can tell by the quality of the picture I posted, I'm not much for taing pictures. Most of the pictures I have of my dogs are at home on the chain. The only picture I have that comes close to that is of Duce when he was young and standing over his first coyote.
  13. Dan McDonough
    Any around November or December,anywhere in the states? Not at that time of year. Everyone is out catching fur. You wouldn't have a hard time finding someone to go with at that time though, weather depending.

    There's a sale/race (there are several around the country but this is the largest) in Holdrege, Nebraska every fall around the first weekend in Oct. where you can go and see as many as 400+ staghounds. Of that 400 about 98% of them are for sale. I've been to the sale twice and I was very impressed that nearly all of the dogs there were in good health and most were in decent shape. A man could go there with a pocket full of money and take his pick. It's also a fun weekend with a race at the end.

    Here's one from the other Dan. Here's my biggest male. Duce is 28" (71.12 cm) @ 100# (45.35 kg.). He moves and bounces around like a dang terrier. He's got a good turn on him for a big brute. He catches rabbits just fine. He'll snag a turkey out of the air if it's not flying higher than about 2.5 meters. He can neck a coyote and hold him by himself and outright kill med. and smaller coyotes by himself also. He has enough brains to be able to pace himself after a loss and track coyotes, jump them and go far another catch when he's in good condition. He also trees and I can take hi

    Wonder where that is. I don't speak enough Spanish to figure it out. It's got to be in the North with all of that snow.

    Walmart, most of the hardware stores and there's Cabela's, Sheels, and a whole list of other hunting stores all over the country. Most counties have fur buyers and several taxidermy shops just about everywhere you go. Getting gear certainly isn't a problem. The Southern states have their charm but you wouldn't catch me East of the Mississippi River if I had the choice. I'm East of the Mississippi now but when my son can get free of his mother I'm moving West. When I go I'll sure miss being near the big waters of Lake Michigan but that will be about all I miss of this land compared to the

    That was very informative fella. South Dakota or Nebraska sounds like the place for me! I'm not serious so don't get excited but I have filed that away for future reference. So cheers. I figured people would like a real view of some of the best state from a dog man's point of view. Nebraska is a real gem. The state is sparsely populated and nearly no one hunts the predators except for during deer season. Bobcat pelts go for aroun $150/each and the coon hunters out there break their dogs off of them and most don't even try hunting them. Trappers take quite a few but once the snow hit

    The two brothers aren't mine, I sold them to a couple of dog sport folks. They are looking nice though. The black one was my pick male of that litter. I kept a fawn brindle female but I don't have a good picture of her. She's slightly larger than the black male. They are close to home so at least I have access to them. They're living a posh life.

    Trumpis changing the immigration policies to help good folks and inhibit muzzies and other ethnic groups from taking advantage of the USA. You'll soon find it a lot easier to come here. Anyhow, all you have to do is marry one of the tens of thousands of desperate ladies trolling around on FB for a Sugar Daddy. Unfortunately not Dan. I have studied immigration in the US from a neutral point of view (wrote a 20,000 word thesis on it) and worked in an immigration center in Boston. He is not doing any favors for anyone! Good or bad. Give him a little time, he's just finished his fi

    You should have a look at the Antelope Jacks they've got around Texas. I used to see them all of the time when I was in basic training for the USAF. One of these days I intend to get back down there and run the pants off of those things! They are enormous!! any sites id see them on Dan Mc?anyone adopt a 54 year old over there lol Just put antelope jackrabbit into your search engine. They're huge! That's exactly what I did and as far as I can see they're much less impressive than our brown hare. Smaller too They may be lighter but they are not shorter when you factor in the ears.
