Hey Im not an it for the money im in it for the sport. I was once a kid who was given a dog and desired the same thing as this one does the way i look at it im returnin the favor. It looks like a day care some times when I go hunting with all the kids but hey its keeping them out of trouble and off the streets!

Hi, My name is Alex, Im 13 yrs old and excited about getting into coon hunting.  I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for helping me find a pup.  Especially to Tie, the nice man from Mississippi, that will be making me the new owner of an English pup (red Tick Hound). Im so excited and looking forward to my new pup. 

If anyone has any pointers for training my new pup I'd be happy to hear them.  This will be an exciting new adventure for me!

Sincerly,
Alex Mezger
Huntington, Tx.

Alex you are very very welcome. I would first let the pup get a little more age then get a live trap and catch a coon, let the pup start bayin it good in the cage. Then I would turn the coon out (very carefully) let the pup see it  as he took to it start trailin it and treeing it start doing it at futher distances eventually you will be able to let the coon out hours without leting the dog see it and him take it and tree it. Also shot as many coons out of the tree but dont shoot em out right when he trees let him tree a while then shoot em out. He will make you a great dog!

Ur a great man tie, the world needs more people like you in it

[LILLWILL]

MY HAT GOES OFF TO TIE,THAT IS WHAT WE SHOULD ALL BE ABOUT.TONYAMM30 WHEN THAT YUNGSTER GETS THE PUP,THE OWNER OF HUBBARDS FEED IN CORRIGAN  MR.HAL HUBBARD IS WHO YOU MIGHT WANT TO TALK TO FOR HELP,HE IS DOG MAN THAT WILL NOT BRAGG ON HIS DOGS AN CAN TEACH ALOT,AND KNOWS ALOT COON HUNTING#1,#2 HOG HUNTIN,I RESPECT HIM VERY MUCH IN REGUARDS TO TRAINING DOGS,HE IS A GOOD TEACHER

[tonyamm30]

LilWill, I guess as luck may be on our side...Hal Hubbard is our cousin.  Thanks for all the information though cause I thought he was a hog hunter and not coons.  We greatly appreciate all the help sent our way.  We have a very excited little coon hunter in the making.  He earned $100.00 this week on spring break so, now that Tie is giving him a pup...we had to go get the live trap!!  We already had the kennel and dog house but tomorrow he wants to get his leash, dog collor and a few other provisions.  Not only will he have a great dog but, a spoiled one too!! 

Again, Many Thanks to everyone that has sent help our way.  I hope that someday, we can also pay it forward!!  Seeing the exspression on his face when we told him about the pup was priceless...not to mention his face when he saw the pictures of the pups and actually talking to Mr. Tie.  Needless to say he was tongue tied and almost speechles.  lol

He is now waiting for the rain to pass to bait the new trap!!  lol

Folks this thread really warms my heart!

Alex, the best dog I ever had was given to me. The best advice I can give you on your new pup is to use him for what he was bread for as often as possible. HUNTING!
Give it all the opertunity you can to hunt but dont rush it.
Good luck and keep us posted on the pups progress so we can all enjoy your success as one of East Texas's newest and finest coon hunters!!!

this thread makes my day .


 i'm glad to see a young person interested in hunting , willing to work for what he wants , and grownups willing to take time to help !!

When that pup is old enough to introduce to coons I have a roll cage that I wouldn't mind letting you borrow. Check out John Wick's books on training coon dogs. You can find a hoop of supplies here:

Hey alex i am 14 years old and have a bunch of plotts.I hope that dog makes u a good un wat i done to help my plott pups to train with coon (before we put um on bear) was drag a coon hide around but dont let the puppy loose intrest with it when the puppy looks lik it is loosing intrest in the hide put it up and play with it again the next day and when it gets some age i would full with it in a coon trap (dont let it get eat up though) and good luck to ya  

[tonyamm30]

Thanks you guys!

Jdt, I agree 100% about him working and earning his hunting stuff....the great thing is, it was All his doin.  He ask what he could do to earn money.  And trust me, I feel like I havent paid him enough cause everything he did, he gave it his all.  We got up at 6 am Sat morning to get my husband off to work and we went into his room and ask him if he was awake...he rubbed his eyes and said yea, what do we need to do?  We just laughed and handed him a $ 100 bill...he rubbed his eyes more and said..." Whoa!", we laughed and said is that enough?  He said yea...It's "almost" more than enough!!  We were speechless on that one. lol  Its funny when you take them shopping with their own money...they get a little more careful!!  

Thanks Sean, we will probly need to look at your roll cage so alex and Justin can make one.  Im sure any ideas will help Justin out...he's not much of a carpenter. lol  

Thanks soo much everyone.  We will keep everyone posted on their progress and post plenty of pictures!
