I have never bear hunted but I am interested in getting involved bear hunting with hounds, and I was wondering if there are any clubs that I could come on as a Guest to see what it is like.
try it but its a disadvantage for the bears
Have hunted bear a good bit with hounds in WV. As stated it is a blast....and a lot of hard work. If you are fortunate enough to give it a go talk to everyone. Guys with good dogs have good reputations....quality hounds make a huge difference in your experience. Low quality hounds will run about anything on 4 legs leaving you working your tail off trying to round up dogs spread all over.
I do not personally own any hounds. I hunt with my cousins up there who do. If I lived there I would go broke trying to make a good pack to run with. Takes a lot of work and a lot of time to train a hound to be good at his job.
Obviously, you have never bear hunted with hounds. [/QUOTE
I reckon he figures it's more sporting to shoot one while his head is shoved down a barrel eating donuts.
