Does anyone share the thrill of a good deer hound, if so what breed
My fav. is Bluetic followed by walker.

Rebel Hog

Down here in FL, it's Redbone and Bluetick.

Baleful Scout

Boxer.
Norwegian Elkhound.
The two best "deerhounds" I ever seen.

You can't beat a good beagle.

Beagles are good for deer trailing? What about blood trailing ? Man I need a good deer dog.

Beagles are great for pushing/trailing deer. They mover slower than the blueticks/walkers etc so the deer arn't coming past you at 100mph!
I've had a couple great blood trailers out of beagles as well.

Dont get me wrong beagles ar ea good deer dog we still use one
but where I hunt there is alot of water and the big guys tend to run abit then stand out in the water, I like the big dogs then

Just curious, why don't you guys use Deerhounds (Scottish)?

Cryptic Gypsy

Deerhounds the Ultimate.
I hunted with a man that used four Deerhounds. I have seen them turn whitetail back towards us right off the bat. No jumping in the truck to ride down the road and no 2 mile chases.

Jumping in the truck? To each his own but I've never hunted like that before. We line men up at a choke point and one or two guys will work the dogs towards us. Booter is beagle/black lab, Dewey is lab/red bone/beagle, we call him Max Power, he once retrieved a deer from a pond!
