So I'm looking to get into the hound game. I was lucky enough to spend about a weeks worth of time out cat hunting with a buddy this winter and have become completely obsessed.
I'm planning on spending the next 6 months to a year doing all my homework and research on the lifestyle of a hound owner before buying a started dog.
What I would really like to gain is some more real life experience with the dogs. I was going to run bears this spring with my buddy but he had to take off for work for the season so I figured I'd put the feelers out and see if there's anybody within a few hours of the lower mainland that would be willing to take a guy out for some bear action. I'm not concerned with shooting a bear in the slightest just want to get out and learn more about the dogs and the sport. And another strong back never hurts for hauling a bear out!
Even if your just taking the dogs out for training I'd love to come along and help/watch. Anything I can do to get more experience.
Cheers
Joel
