I might start 4-5 every year. I am very fortunate to live in a place where my pups can run loose. By the time they are 4-5 months old I have to pen them up because they have gone from squirrels to rabbits and then deer. After that I will run them in my 25 acre pen and it is thick in there. By the time they are 9 months or so they are ready for the woods and you can dump them in fresh sign and they will do there best to trail it up.
That is a great system Cajun!
Arkansas you are going to be a busy man with all of those pups. I can only start a max of two pups at a time with they way I do it hunting cats, any more than that and I feel like I am having to short cut things. Good luck with all of those pups and I think you have some great looking prospects there. Keep us updated on their progress and really interested in which ones you end up liking the most.
