CNC when I use to follow coonhounds around 8 nights a week, I finally had the best hound I ever had… I kept a journal of her every nights hunt. It was a competition between Me and Her vs the bandits… I loved her so much when she died the love for it died… wish I’d kept the journal but i laid it with her…
I know a gouge you pretty hard on the tracking vs dog hunter deal, but I don’t doubt one bit you are in it for your dog, just as I was with mine. I never got into the money hunts bc of that very reason..
