i used too...started at 6 or 7...i loved it...but when i was turnin 12 we moved...and had to get rid of the hounds...broke my heart! i want more hounds so bad...the only thing i found better is turkey hunting...both non stop action...i need to talk my parents into lettin me buy my own dog!..another problem was my dad couldnt hunt as much as we did...wed hunt 5-7 times a week...and he changed shifts and we couldnt get out cept a 2 days i think...but im old and responsible enough to run alone i think...maybe one day soon!
