Didn't I hear somewhere that the dog got killed by coyotes a few weeks after this picture was taken?

That dawg wuz roont; I'd a shot 'em, myself.
Yeah, I remember that photo, brings back the memories, donut?
I ran into a couple houndsmen in the mountains, one night. Window to window, talked a spell. They said to be careful if we saw their barrel, back a piece.
Seems that they had a dog thatwas chasing a coyote, which they promptly shot. Then they dumped it in a drum, and pushed the offending dog in after it and closed the lid, then rolled it down the hill, planning to recover it, long about sunup.
They claimed it was a surefire cure of a hound that insisted on chasing, or consorting with coyotes. As in: run the other way. Seemed a little extreme, to me?
Hey, do we have "class" here, or no?
Good hunting. LB

I used to have a dog that just loved coons, but it weren't nothin' like that! I have seen young hounds get so ramped up at their first "tree" that they'd mount just about anything nearby, including stumps and partners that weren't quick enough to get away.
All I can say is,

Michael, I also heard that the dog was killed two weeks after the photo. I also heard he was still smiling. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Sheri, there are no innocents on this board. 'cept maybe me.
Leonard, I don't know if the drum trick would break a dog from running coyotes, I would bet, however, that it would take more than the two of them to get the dog back in the drum if it didn't.
Hey, Lance how you been?

You guys are going to be so proud of me! I watched that Foxworthy Movie Special, and I now know who "Larry the Cable Guy" is!
I wonder if dogs hate cats all that much, or, as I suspect, cats hate dogs, a lot more? My last dog didn't know that birds existed, and the one before that was extremely focused on any type of bird.
My redbone believed that she was allowed to go up and sniff any cat alive, but some cats objected. Bad move on their part. But, she was ambivalent towards them, mostly.
I swear, this is the truth. If spit at; Red, (original name, huh?)...... would kick at a cat with both front paws and bowl them over, ass over tea kettle. Never got scratched, she was quite a bit quicker than a cat. A damn good dog, I might add.
Good hunting. LB

I've seen a lot of guys use the barrel method for breaking hounds and never saw it work well even once. Now, the old timer I worked with training coonhounds had two very effective ways of breaking dogs off deer and other off game.
The first was "the cage". This was a wire mesh and steel frame cage big enough to hold an adult dog comfortably and suspended about three feet off the ground by rubber straps. A cable and pulley system similar to the old tenemant clotheslines ran into one end of the cage from a blind location outside the shed where the cage was contained. He'd take a deer-lovin' dog and put him in that cage. The cage itself was attached to one wire of a circuit and the other was wrapped around a tarsal gland from a deer which was pulleyed into the cage at random intervals. As long as the dog never touched the cage and the ground, or the cage and that gland, he was fine, but when we rolled that gland in there the first few times, he'd crane his ol' neck out there to get a snootful and WHAM -WHAM-WHAM. Fence charger nailed him good. It only took one trip to the old cage to break most dogs.
The other method was a variant of the Magic Mist technique. I had an English dog that loved munchin' skunks. Without exception, every night out, he'd have to get his fix on one skunk, then he'd run clean the reat of the night. Very aggravating. So, I took a bottle of beaking scent and dilluted it in a spray bottle. This mist would be used to all but saturate his doghouse, his face, his hide and anything else he was around. On his collar was a pill bottle with holes drilled in it filled with scent saturated cotton. Then, I took two long tube socks. In one, I placed a handful of small rocks wrapped in a rag for padding. the other just had the rag without rocks. At random intervals, I'd enter the pen with one or the other. The rock sock was sprayed down with skunk scent (not musk, the actual scent the dog smells to trail). The other sock wasn't. The dog would come up to me and smell the sock. If he wagged his tail or stayed on the sock, demonstrating anything to show me he enjoyed that sock, he'd get that sock of rocks over the head all the way back to the dog house. I'd just as often go in with the plain sock which he'd smell and I'd love him up good so he knew it was the smell, not me, to be aversive to.
In a matter of three days, he managed to rip his collar off and bury the pill bottle. He wouldn't go near his house because of the smell. When presented with any sock with the smell on it, he would not only go the other way, he would start dry heaving and wretching. If I wired a new pill bottle full of sticnk to his collar, he'd actually go off food until it was removed. And he never rolled another skunk up again.
Eventually, he started on rabbits. We started the same method with rabbit scent and had him broke in a day without anything more than a spray in the face and a bottle of piss on his collar for twlve hours. He was a smart dog and I do miss him.
ASnd Rich, busy. Very busy. How 'bout you?
