Early Sunday morning my husband, daughter, our friend and his girlfriend got ready to go for a morning hunt. We loaded our two boys Tank and Drum into the dog box that we have, then drove over and picked up our buddy and his girlfriend. That is where we also picked up his two dogs Jed and Scout. Both of those dogs have been out in the woods looking for raccoon, bear and bobcat. They both have a ton of knowledge that we hoped would pass on to the pups. We ran into a coyote early that morning of which none of the boys chased. We were very proud, hunters who's main idea is raccoon or other certain animals, would call coyote trash, and do not want the hounds wasting their time chasing. The fact that both our young boys came right to us when we called was perfect. They periodically checked in like they were supposed to and even found a dried up raccoon body that was near a tree. All of this with the help of Jed and Scout. Teaching young dogs with the aide of an older dog is the best thing I think, it lets them learn by example, and explains to them better then we could without mistakes. All in all it was a good morning for their first time out. Have fun behind our own hound and go for an adventure, it will sure put a smile on your face:)
