    I voted for Trump in 2016, but he has to be dumped this November!

    I was afraid then Hillary would otherwise grab all our guns but now I know much better. It sounds like Donald Trump may have stimulated the growth of a lot of burger-flipping, mopping, sweeping and coffee-pouring jobs but precious few professional careers, government jobs and skilled-trade...

    What kind of weather, climate and terrain do you favor for hunting and scouting?

    My first and only deer was taken by me in a "lush green forest" of Trinity Co., CA in 1996. A few gentle rolling hills in the woods (a private ranch) but no vertical cliffs to climb. No rough brush. No snakes, warm in the afternoon but not burning up in mid-October. Damp in the morning and...

    Is a Golden Retriever as good as a Lab for blood-trailing

    deer? If one is a multispecies hunter for several seasons and kinds of game one might want some versatility Some birdshooters may happen to also have a Lab that can be handy for blood-trailing during deer season. I've heard of Labs being put to work on deer but not Goldens. If one's...

    I am very disheartened about hounds in America today.

    American Foxhounds are almost virtually extinct. At least my Google search would have me believe that. Finding a pup anywhere in the Lower 48 will be something of the Holy Grail. Walker pups also seem hard to find. Bloodhounds are unattractive. Black and tan coonhounds aren't that pretty. I...

    Who has an American foxhound for blood-trailing?

    I fancy the American foxhound because they look so handsome as compared with most other hound type breeds as the bloodhound with such a homely face. I understand that the American foxhound may or may not be the number one tracker of wounded deer but I am impressed by the one my deer guide had...

    Hello, from Boise, ID

    Like most American states outside of most former Confederate States of the South and to the blueness of my heart, deer hunters in Idaho are deprived of the joy of baying hounds off-lead in the woods and this is a shame. I can't get enthused about hunting at all unless there are pooches in the...
