NYCOYOTEHOUNDS

You know that answer.

Start out with 1 or 2 of our jump dogs. When they get one going we try to catch them off. Hard sometimes. Then we get some young dogs in on the chase. 3-4 dogs usually. When they catch one we put more in.

I have a good friend in Canada who runs field trials on coyotes. He also hunts them up there. He starts some of the dogs there and we start some here. These are registered Running Walker Foxhounds. It has taken us a few years to breed for grit in the dogs we have now. If we see some hounds that have the traits we are looking for we breed them.

I hunt all over. Mostly around Pulaski and Mexico.

I sure do miss my beagles.

When I was younger, there was an older gentleman that I used to run with. He said way back when they ran fox, and when the fox ran in a hole they would take burlap sacks and light them on fire and stick down the hole. There was usually another entrance/air hole a few yards away and they would wait there and club the fox when they came out.

My Dad has told me stories of getting coon out like that.

Those dogs were not coming out of that hole. They are tough and will not leave a live coyote. We had to dig so we could grab hold of them. The coyote ended up going further into one of the chambers when we got down to them.

In 20 years I have had maybe 5 yotes go in a hole. Had 2 in one day. Old beaver bank den. 2 dogs and a yote about 15 feet down and 20 feet in. Den had many chambers. Had to get the shovels. One of my dogs was bit pretty good on the face.

Owls also.

You will NEVER hurt the coyote population. To answer some questions, I either find a track and put my cold trail hound on until it is jumped or free cast them until it is jumped and put more dogs in. Guys get on watch and wait until they come thru and shoot it. Sometimes they miss and the coyotes run for awhile and tire and the dogs catch them. Some dont run at all.

Dogs caught this yote.

One of my passions is brook trout. Love walking a small stream and floating a worm.

New to the site. I love trout fishing, hunting and trapping.
