Title: Redbone Coonhounds for pigs good or bad? Post by: Wicked1 on May 05, 2021, 12:04:27 pm I'm curious what the experiences (good/bad) are of people who have hunted pigs behind Redbone Coonhounds in the past? I've hunted behind a Walker, a few Plott's, and plenty of curs of various breedings and crosses, but I've never had any experience with Redbones. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Like I said, only tried one so not fair to judge them all by this. Title: Re: Redbone Coonhounds for pigs good or bad?

There doesn't seem to be lots of Redbones around these days.

We took him with us for a while...slow on track and fairly cold nosed...when he got on a track he more than likely would put a big boar at the end of it...several times it was him and an Airedale would catch on each ear...other times there were other dogs helping...

Post by: Birdslayer86 on May 23, 2021, 02:43:37 pm It’s almost not fair to say redbone for me because he was 50/50 redbone/American bulldog but I will say this I had him and one of my curs I bred and those were by far hands down the best dogs I ever owned and I was sadly still a teenager when I owned these and didn’t truly know what I had back then. My redbone barked the first hog he had ever saw and was silent from then on but that SOB caught harder then any bulldog I ever owned. I got called a liar many times for saying how he was bred until you got to hunt behind him. He looked 120% redbone but caught 120% bulldog.. he absolutely had the best of both worlds and I’ve wanted another one since I lost him but I’ve been to scared I’ll never duplicate him so I’ve never tried and never owned a redbone since him
