I have an 11 month old female that I need deer broke. I am looking for someone to do this in or near NC. Has only run deer twice and not very far, but I will not tolerate any. I would rather pay someone than do it myself as I don't have time.

There is a man named JC Bruce near Statesville that has a deer pen that he uses to break dogs. He gets $35 a dog to break them. I do not know his phone number but I think his address is either Hidinite or Stony Point.

JC Bruce in Hiddenite, NC can be reached at 828.632.0527 and he asks $35/dog and keeps them for about 5 days.

Does one 5 day trip usually do the job?

I send all my dogs to Mr. Bruce and he does a great job. You will be very pleased. He also has some good dogs and pups for sale at times.

Rosewood-
I'd say one stay with Mr. Bruce would cure 90% of beagles from running deer, but there are some that are just determined to run deer.

I am taking them on sunday or monday so I should be able to give some feedback shortly thereafter. I have talked to several guys who have used this guy in the past and they have nothing but good things to say about him. According to one guy he witnessed the guy that does the trainings dogs eating out of a trough next to a deer who was also eating. I would pay money to see that.
