    Reputable finished hound seller?

    I would waaaayyy rather get a puppy and start fresh, but I guess that would take at least another year before I could run them on bear. The one I originally started with is doing well and has been on cat and bear tracks. I trust the guy I got the newer one from. He actually let me take two of...

    Reputable finished hound seller?

    Well at this point I'm going to have to say I was taken for nearly $5,000 by Pathfinder(Hunter). I drove all the way to Colorado and bought two dogs from him that were supposed to be finished cat/bear dogs. Soon after getting home the $3000 lion dog had a seizure. I thought ok maybe she's just...

    Lightest weight cold weather hammock set up?

    TLDR; Looking for a new sleep set up that's going to get me to 0F and is as light as possible. Comparing models between HH and Warbonnet is challenging me because of the extra required rigging rainfly etc. What's your setup look like and weight complete? Underquilt or sleeping pad? I've been...

    Hammock setups for hunting

    It's great when there are plenty of trees for a good setup. Had a HH for close to 8 years. Last night the only tree I could find was small. In the middle of the night there was a a creak and I was suddenly on the ground in the snow. First time I had a tree pull out and almost fall on me. Miles...

    Taxidermy time

    Must not have read the part where he took five years to not do someone’s wood duck before they asked for it back and he didn’t even give his refund back. Or the guy he gave the wrong Elk to… Or the fact that he butchered my wolf hide…

    Percheron for hunting/ mountain trail riding?

    If I had property I wouldn’t expect to have less than two or three. And a couple of llamas. I actually had planned on looking into getting llamas anyway, but somebody said they do not mix well with Horses?

    Percheron for hunting/ mountain trail riding?

    Handsome boy. Still waiting to hear back about a price and get videos of him trotting running etc. before I make the drive all the way to Washington. I would’ve thought there would be no shortage of suitable horses to look at in Idaho and I’m really surprised that it seems so difficult to find...

    Percheron for hunting/ mountain trail riding?

    I went and checked out a boarding facility and got this picture (actually 12 years old) and immediately realized why people said he was definitely older than 12. I don’t know the ages of the ones in the stables but the difference in what you described was obvious. That guy finally came clean...

    Percheron for hunting/ mountain trail riding?

    The way I’m looking at it is as few animals as I’m actually packing it doesn’t really matter. 0/4 on archery elk. At most a deer or two and maybe a wolf a year. Might try tyin up coyotes on him but eh. As little as I get I wouldn’t care how much more difficult the losing was. Also considered...

    Percheron for hunting/ mountain trail riding?

    Definitely decided against a full draft. Half draft at most. Also realizing if I am set on a certain breed or color I may be out this for a few decades before I find the right horse so I’m open to a lot more. Someone is looking into the price on this half shire for me. Allegedly he is a great...

    Percheron for hunting/ mountain trail riding?

    What's the best way to find out what I can/will tolerate and what I wont? For example, I don't see lifting elk/deer quarters being an issue because I'm younger and moderately fit. But the jarring my guts loose riding sounds horrible. Short of knowing people, is there a way to find some different...

    Percheron for hunting/ mountain trail riding?

    I actually thought he may have drugged it today when I brought the vet out because it was much calmer and a completely different horse. But that doesn’t make sense right? Nobody would drug a horse knowing a vets coming over and May do bloodwork?

    Percheron for hunting/ mountain trail riding?

    Yes sir, will be going much slower now. I would never have given him a dime if my friends didn’t vouch for him that he would refund me. But yes, that guy is 100% off my list because he was very pushy and threw up lots of red flags like trying to dissuade me from getting a vet check.

    Percheron for hunting/ mountain trail riding?

    Vet check showed his feet and joints were actually much better than expected for a horse his age. However, he did end up being upwards of 18 years old like a lot of people guessed so I got all my money back and left so I can get something younger. Easy peasy.

    Percheron for hunting/ mountain trail riding?

    I really don’t want to start pointless bickering online. I asked for your guys input and you gave it. It was received and appreciated for taking the time to do so. However, while many people have been commenting about the horse and possible health concerns, my “jumping in” etc, actual equine...

    Im guessing you didn’t understand the context of that comment. But if that somehow offended you, oh well.

    This should be hilarious

    Percheron for hunting/ mountain trail riding?

    Idk this guy seems like he might have some experience having owned multiple ranches and having done it for 50 years. Not saying he’s not out to make money but I’m sure he’s pretty experienced. https://longhornguestranch.com/ Going riding this afternoon and the vet that I sourced is coming out...

    Taxidermy time

    I picked it up and got a whopping $75 back from my $600 deposit. Not sure where he sent it $525 to get tanned. He couldn’t even guarantee me it would be done in the next three months in which the other taxidermist said he would so I took my losses and went. Turns out he was full of it. He gave...
