Yes I do and know what some bear Hunter will do when they are so call training dogs
I have not seen the book ! But i bet there is a limit per party ! If it it is 2, and i get drawn, the small ones will get a pass and my party will be gone on day one if not...day 2. !!Since the dog hunt is etched in stone I am curious as to how many bear you experienced dog guys expect to be taken on each of the two WMAs. I seems like if four pups tree two in one day then nine packs of experienced dogs should be able to Tree a bunch of bears over nine days. I’m guessing a lot of the smaller bears will get a pass, but what would you guess the final harvest will be. Not trying to stir the pot, just trying to determine if I should spend the time finding new hunting grounds. Also, I am not a deer hunter that hates dogs. I am a bear hunter who’s only issue was the timing of the hunt. Now that it’s a done deal I will try to make the best of it.

It’s gonna be a rough week to be a bear.
There are obviously some seriously slow dudes hanging out here. Why would someone get a bunch of dogs that don't get along with other dogs, put them together, and expect them to work cooperatively? They would fight each other and not chase their quarry. Thanks for trying to educate the tards Heath.There are obviously some serious misunderstandings and flat out untruths among the general public about bear hunting with dogs.
Obviously, most of you have never been around a Pocahontas Plott or any bear dogs. Gene Walker don’t put up with ill dogs, I’ve been in his living room 3 times with him and his wonderful wife Anne visiting and talking dogs. Not sure where you boys get your information but please stop fantasizing and maybe experience something before you condemn it.
Menacing, aren’t they?
Every bow hunter who applies with the intent to take away opportunities from other hunters should be kicked in the nuts and then arrested for hunter harrassment. That's some anti hunting tactics and its crap. Grow up people.Depends on who gets drawer I know alot bowhunter that put in and hoping it turns out to be a bust
Maybe you should read up on some of the different breeds and their characteristics. Since you obviously don't have first hand experience with them. Some dogs are known for their grit...Airedales, terriers, Plots, Black mouth cur, kemmer curs, bulldogs and more. Do they get along with other dogs ??? Why yes, will they stand to be bullied by other dogs ??? No. They wont start no junk, but they wont tuck their tail between their legs and crawl off. Some dogs will pull hair and some will just bay or tree. Some are rougher than others. I know a lot of guys with hounds who don't like to coon hunt with others who have plots, they know the plots wont put up with that face barking and what competition guys call "fang pressure". Their just a different dog. I have a buddy that has a good plot he uses on hogs. The dog is fine in a pack, but he will tell you up front , when your loading Rambler...don't try to man handle him. Where we have to coon hunt, its very likely to have yard dog come in to our trees.There are obviously some seriously slow dudes hanging out here.

The folks who scheduled this hunt in the middle of, and ruining, archery season for the scores of RESIDENT archery hunters who hunt those WMAs, should be kicked in the nuts.
Again, the timing. If the timing of the hunt was between the end of archery and before the first normal gun hunt, nobody would care. But no, the state decides to shaft the folks who are loyal to these WMA’s, the same folks who pay the lease, pay for the roads, pay for the food plots, pay for the wildlife techs who manage them, and pay for the arrogant bosses who manage the techs who made that decision. They scheduled this hunt so that non residents who hunt Tennessee and North Carolina could hunt Georgia. It’s a shame.
You don't train grit, a dog has it or they don't. But you do have to handle one differently that does have it. Big difference between a bird dog and a bear or hog dog.
