Dry Ground Tom Lion

[npm352]

Took the hounds out last week for the close of our lion season and had a great race on a nice tom. We were walking on the frozen dirt with two pups and one older hound. My older dog started popping off in the dirt and they all took of up the mountain on the trail. They eventually jumped him out of some rocks and cliffs where I imagine he was sunning himself. We never saw a track so we were pretty happy when we made our way to the tree and found this nice tom. We walked back to the truck, drove home, switched out dogs, hiked in and casted them at the tree for another run and catch. Good way to wrap up the season with some fine dog work.

It's great when they can put together a run off a dry ground track.....nice work.

Thanks @Trail153 ... I agree....most of my hunting is in snow...or at least a snow and dirt mix, but it is nice to get one in the dirt once and again to know the dogs have it in them.

Great job! I like nothing more than a great hound race. Lion, bear, coon, even rabbit. Sounds like the dogs did a great job on the dry ground!!

Thanks @Robster

I agree...doesn't matter what they are after, it always fun.

Nice work, I miss the sound of hounds.
I gotta get out of this state
I’d love to be able to help our deer heard.
