thanks guys ! I'm not sure I would have any use for a line bred mr bill dog but I think a little will be good for what I'm trying to do !

Hare Chaser,Budd & others You guys got any experience with the Buckshot Mr Bill blood ??? I just got a dog with a good bit of his blood in it

This subject has come up on this board before and I couldn't believe it wasn't 100% agreement that something happens to an animals scent when frightened ! maybe those in disagreement just don't know what they are seeing ???

that's interesting for sure! But what about when a game animal is frightened? seems like dogs lose the trail , what happens to the scent molecules then ??? (another can ? )

OK ! GRAB ME ONE TOO !

I hear more people complaining about lack of hunt then I do lack of nose or brains in Trial bred dogs ! seems like more & more people are looking for a dog that will go
in the bushes to jump a rabbit !

this is the same old stuff ! some guys that posted here are out of beagling or switched bloodlines ! HMMMM!

If he aint up he will be! with some nose power!

I know what yer saying ! I said in my first post that I don't like cold trailing either ! some of my vocabulary comes from my coonhunting days! lol cold trailing or gearing down is what I meant to ask. I think its pretty much the same thing in reality in the winter when a dog is workin its butt off ...

this post wasn't about dogs trying every track in the woods and not producing ! and I don't pack hunt ! I train dogs by themselves ! but will pack them when they are ready! I think some very experienced hunters & houndsman replied to this post and pretty much said it all in a hunters point of view a...

LOL! Bring back the ones you would hunt with!
