    Reputable finished hound seller?

    I bet I know why you haven’t been successful in running hounds. You will never be successful in becoming a “houndsmen” unless you are driving a Toyota Tacoma with a custom dog box in 365 days a year. Those guys are separated from the normal guys runners hounds and are special . You need a...

    New fillys

    Have completed four trail rides on the larger mare/filly, three rides with other horses and one solo. She has did great, even in some steep gradients. I think she is well on the way to turning out great. Going to start ponying the smaller one in July to get her some trail experience. I...

    Reputable finished hound seller?

    I have only hunted with one or two dogs most of my life. I would rather have one good dog as compared to a whole pack of deer chasers. The two lions, handful of bobcats and numerous coons and the one bear were are treed with one or two dos.

    Reputable finished hound seller?

    I really hate that for you. There are a lot of shady individuals involved in hounds and some great people. I’m not a big fan of pure breed or inbred hounds. I personally like the Leopard hounds or an English cross with some terrrier thrown in. I had a dog that had seizures from about 3 on and he...

    Who hunts alone?

    Before kids came along I hunted almost all alone and was successful. I have tried getting my boy involved in hunting and he is either 110% committed or has entirely different sports he likes. Right now it is golf, so I will be back to hunting by myself. I wish him or my daughter would show an...

    Horse chit

    By hand, we don’t have equipment. Once it cures out it makes great garden fertilizer. I dry lot them in the winter and turn them out for grazing periods a couple times a day from late April until snow cover.

    Packing versus riding starting out

    I’m comfortable riding in and riding out, but only have one horse currently trained good enough. I’ve been riding this one since January weekly and doing ground work. I was thinking it would give us both more experience and options, since I have young green horses, and I’m pretty green too. I’ve...

    Packing versus riding starting out

    Guys I greatly appreciate the advice, I bought a used sawbuck in good condition and will get some canvas panniers, and start walking trails with a one sack of pellets per side. Thank you

    Packing versus riding starting out

    As mentioned before I’m training to 3 year old mares to ride, and I wondering if anyone ever just packed with their horses the first year or two before trail riding them a bunch? I’ve heard of outfitters taking inexperienced horses and putting them in a packstring for the first couple seasons...

    New fillys

    I joined a few years back but haven’t had time to get very involved. Do you think the saddle panniers from State Line would hold elk quarters? Didn’t know how durable they were

    New fillys

    Thanks for the information on hobbies. I plan to start that this summer. I have taught to lead with the front and rear feet, so hopefully hobble training goes smooth. I plan to stay right there with them, to avoid problems. I want to teach them to high line also. I rode the bigger one for...

    I appreciate your advice. So to make sure I understand you make sure your horse can turn its front end and hindquarters in a pivot in a 10’ circle before you ride them? So you do this through ground work exercises? I’ve been doing this ever time I work them and they have the hindquarters down...

    Hunting Horse Deluxe

    I like you comment on taking 3 years to train a solid horse. I’m amateur but I’m learning, my goal was two years of 2-5 days a week training, but I’m willing to extend it. Looks like a great horse and you are a real professional at training/horsemanship

    New fillys

    I’ve got to ride her twice more and about a 6-10 ground work exercises. We had no issues, going to an outdoor arena this week. She has certain things that set her off, one is be hungry or working her when she hasn’t ate. I make sure she is feeding midday if I’m riding her after work.

    I appreciate it. I’m basically only riding in arena through this summer. I feel more confident in there to get the foundations down. I just don’t want to mess them up by my lack of training experience. This is one reason I’m using a trainer for both myself and horse on a weekly/biweekly basis.

    Montana Archery Elk Draw Question

    Yes since the permit is either sex, you will not be able to hunt on a general tag during the archery season, but you can hunt during the rifle season. In years past there was a period when you could change your application, but with only two weeks between the deadline and draw now, so there is...

    Thanks MissJordan, it seems like somedays one step forward and two steps back. I’ve learned to train around there resting times and not when they are hungry
