I like to hear from some hound hunters about what they think it takes to make a cat hound. I'd like to find a pup or started dog to start with. I mainly want to run bobcats and coons. I live in Colorado right now but am moving to Wyoming soon. If there's any hound out with info. I'd like to hear from you. rooster
..well its just like training for coon hunting.......if you like hunting them bobcats.....you need to try to catch some bobcats in a live trap....then you need to order some bobcat scent.....order a drag to.....put the scent on the drag. and fool with the pup .......the pup will get the hang of it..........well if you won't to hunt coons.....catch some coons in a live trap.......let the pup bay the coons......i always turn the coon loose and let the pup see the coon go thru the woods then i turn the pup loose...makes him use his nose....he will start treeing preety quick give it some time......and another way is put some coon scent on the drag and drag the drag in front of the puppy......and another way to train your hound is run the pup with the older dogs.....its gonna be hard to find a pack of old hounds that tree bobcats all the time......but there will be know problem finding some coon hunters....run the pup with the older dogs....he will learn.........good luck.........
