Curt, I never go out lion hunting with just one, i always have 3. Each senerio is different, what in perticular do you want to know

[Maverick]

There is an old lion hunter down the hill from me. He has done most of his hunting in Idaho, and has several nice mounts. If you are interested, I'll ask him if I can give you his phone number.

Sounds like a good time Curt. Listen carefully, now. It is illegal to hunt lions here so we don't do it obviously.
Being this is Gators second hunt with strange dogs where he may be off leash again, make darn sure he minds his P's and Q's. After that, it should all come naturally to Gator if he remembers one thing...."When in Rome, do as the Romans do!" Have you ever seen Deliverance.

Curt- do you have a phone #, what I can tell you will take me forever to type. You can e mail it to me at [e-mail]. 1. I would never just throw him in on a cat, pre-trainning is a key to the dogs survival. 2. There are several ways to pre-train, non I can mention here. 3. An Airedale w/o trainning will just go diving in, not smart. 4. There is no dog too old that cannot be trained.

Oh Curt, did I forget to mention

When hunting dangerous game,

with an airedale. The first sign you

have that he is cut out for dangerous game

is he survived the first three or four hunts.

Tree game is a tad safer, but, never jump a lion out

more than twice. Ask Bob what may happen.

You don't want a couple of dogs catching them on the

ground. Or I personally think you should bring

Gator here and we will do hogs together. Is he a fast

learner? Guarantee you, if he goes back with you, he

will scare the handler. What you do is take a piece of

stinky old hog hide back with you and when the handler

isn't looking, put it in the sleeve, step back, and watch

the handler defend himself.

[mack]

I'd pay to see that!

[southern]

Curt- he will do just fine in what he is trained to do. If you have your heart and head set on cat, use the methods we discussed and see if he's up to it.

I think the first thing you will want is for your dog to go with the Hounds . I know that was the first for me, until the first tree than they will know what the Hounds are doing. TRAPPER

Ok, Ok, spill yer guts Don.. """Use very cautiously any Huntin' lingo on me...I still can't remember Don's One Bark, Two Bark, Silent, etc..terminology/rules...may have to take a few note cards with me on the hunt! "" At least get me pointed to a link to it.

It is easy for a hunter Loren. One or two barks= they jumped the game and it is running or they killed it. Steady barking= bayed or treed. Steady barking with the locations changing some= they are bayed on the ground and the fight is moving. No barking but a lot of pig squealing means the dogs got tired of waiting for you and are trying to kick some but. If you are going to the dogs and you get a strong whiff of skunk, run for the truck as hard as you can and make sure the doors are closed because they may be bringing their prize to you. When the dogs are barking hard and go silent and suddenly appear running hard back to you while pig hunting, look for something to climb. They have gotten into a bedding area with a lot of hogs and have pi$$ed them all off. They are usually not far behind the dogs. Last time this happened, there were about twenty mature hogs coming in fast. My immediate reaction was

I know that my Airedale (father of Winchester and Remington) was a going type of dog. He went with the hounds about 10 minute and came back. The hounds .leftout and Malvini and i were walking the direction they had to go. About 2 hours later my Cur Dog came to me. He did this when he needed me ,came up to me ,made sure that I saw him and then went the way he wanted me to go. The Airedale left with him,and in a few minutes we could hear them. They were having a hell of a fight with the bear and everyone left out where we couldn,t hear them. Hitting a road we caught a ride with a Forest Service truck back to our trucks. Malvini went one way and I the other. After about i5 minutes I couldn,t hear them and came back to Phil,s truck. I could hear the dogs and started into them. About then the bear came down and the dogs had ahold of him when he went over a 7foot log, knocking all the dogs off. Phil said when he got there the Airdale had his feet on the tree and really telling the world about it. He got several pictuers of the Bear going around the tree and then coming out right into the Hounds and Airedale. The Airedale was the first to get his hold and from then on he wanted the Bear.
