I want to hunt a little diffrent.....

You won't get a lot of firsthand experince comments, mostly just opinions which you can already see. I don't have a lot of experience, but I do have some. I have had two pit/dane ceosses that would hunt short range (200 yd) and straight catch. I preffer loose baying curs, but sometimes the property won't let me run them. Some places are in the edge of town, or are just small bedding areas that I don't want to get off of.

I would highly recommend the pit/dane cross as they have worked well for me. I would be curious to see how a little stag might compliment this cross. I would recommend running 2 dogs as well just because you will get on some that one dog may not handle. If that is a risk you are willing to take, then just run one. I don't know of any dogs or pups available at the time.

Good luck and don't let the haters discourage you, it's not a bad way to hunt if that's what you like.
