Cast Hunting

I know what you are saying Oconee...too much range is not good...every time I casted out my mt curs I worried about how many miles they would run a hog, cross a hiway, or bay up in someone's ranch that would shoot my dogs...or bay up in a neighborhood...but that is how I bred them for years...and sometimes these dogs would go as far as needed to catch hogs and as long as they could run they would stay in hogs...some actually would die from heat stroke...these type were a pain in the rear due to them hunting for themselves...I kept those on leash until I wanted them out...a certain amount of independence is needed but too much and they won't honor another dog...

right now I probably hunt once or twice a month and I don't turn my 3 dogs loose until the other hunters dogs strike then I turn mine in...or...if they don't strike in a decent time frame I turn mine out and they will usually go find one...when I get my pups up and running I will look for my own place even if I have to pay for the right place...
