I would like to hear yalls thoughts on what a good houndsman may be....
Are true houndsmen a thing of the past??
To me I believe a true houndsman knows a hound like the back of there hand from their health to knowing what each different bark on track means ... a true woodsman ....has stomped through countless miles of bottoms and briar thickets...
Watched and have listened to hundreds of races..
His hounds are family...
He wants the best for them from food to housing to the best tracking devices for them...
He truly has a passion for his dogs and what they were trained to do..he constantly thinks about his hounds and putting more tracks in front of them... he has put countless hours keeping up with pups to make sure they stay on track of the intended game ...finds pride and satisfaction in taking a pup and turning it into a broke ,seasoned hunting machine
He finds a strange pride in the briar layden tore up ears tails and bellys of his hounds ... his tattered briar proof gear
It's the odometer of all the hard work they have put in...
I could go on and on
Yall get the idea...
