if you are going to run deer get some kind of bassit hound mix or something. i can understand hunting up there with dogs but don't have a coon hound.
What? A beagle a coon hound? what are you cracked? maybe where your from but around here beagles are for deer. It would take a basset hound a full day to run a 1 mile squared tract of forest. Around here coons are the dirtiest animal around, would never eat one.
