I live in north Louisiana. We have the ouachita river running thru our hunting ground. There's delta type farmland/CRP on one side and river hills with pine thickets and cutover on the other side. We hunt both. We hunt old stock type curs that's been bred around here by our ancestors. My budddies and I breed dogs amongst ourselves. We use these dogs to work cattle as well. I've tried the hound deal but it's just not what the way I care to hunt. I do have a pup coming from a friend of mine (Clue Anderson). That I'm excited to see how it works out.
Clue is the real deal, old man on this board. his cds follow him on his mule to a bay, no leash, he ties up the mule vests them up and sends them in on command. Nice line bred curs as well - respect
