Finished up a lynx hunt today with three good guys. A fun 6 days with 6 lynx treed and three bruisers taken.
Enjoy the pictures.

Grattis!

Very nice.

Nice kitties - well done! Man, the look on the third guy's face cracked me up!

Neophyte question - I assume the only diff b/w a lynx hunt and a lion hunt is, you put the dogs out on a lynx track - correct?

That about sums it up. Lynx are tougher to catch, you won't see to many cougar dogs catch many lynx.

Awesome!

Always love to see your cats Doug! Well done!!!

Doug, you're killin' me! 6 days last year... Not a fresh track... Really want one!

Thats what a lot of outfitters will tell you, you need better dogs then your average lion dogs to catch a lynx. 28 caught in 26 days last year.

I have been on 2 unsuccessful hound hunts. Looks like I need to talk to you next time

people need to realize i spend alot of time hunting my dogs. 70 to 100 trees a year seems to keep them sharp. The dogs are only as good as the time spent hunting.

Awesome Doug!!!

Very true from what I seen with dogs the more one hunts them the better they get.

A lot of hounds guys only want to put their dogs down on a great track, in a great location, at a great time unless every thing is perfect they don't run them.

The more you run them the better they get.

Do your dogs do free searching?

I think you mean what i call free casting. I can rig bears and cats from the dog box or free cast them into an area as i walk with them. Or find the track for them and turn them loose.
Which ever i need to do to get the job done.
