As for training pups me and my grandad caught wild house cats doused them down with water and squirted lion piss on them and let the pups run them that got them started the fastest for us. Then put them with the old dogs and see what they were made of!! I also run bobcats with my hounds because there is not enough mountains lion in my area to have straight lion dogs .

Running house cats is about the best way to instill the eternal hatred that is needed for a good cat dog.  It is better to train a dog on cats first and then go to stinkier animals as they learn to really grub out the tracks, cats leave by far less scent than hogs and bear.

Had one up on our place in llano last year. Almost called you Jesse to come up here but I can't get permission from the neighbor. Found one axis doe dead a week after I saw it crossing a ranch road.
