We get on just fine here with Sambar stalkers and hound crews, even loan pointers.
Is hound hunting any different to long range hunting?
I don't consider LR to be hunting any more, I did it a lot when I was younger but I never considered it hunting back then, it was culling or harvesting.
But I don't begrudge anyone that chooses to hunt that way, why should hunt bears with dogs be any different.
The biggest disadvantage with dogs is they don't know the difference between a trophy and runt, so you might find more game, but you usually have to chase after it and then it could be any size, boar or sow ect.

YES, hound hunting is up close and personal.. at least in the end of it..

ROD who is a member on here has MUCH more experience at this than I..He lives in Idaho...perhaps he might log on and see this at one point..

We have been able to chase cats here previously..killed a large lion years ago with hounds..have chased a few bobcats..

Contrary to the greenies thoughts, it can be incredibly touch hunting.. had a lion take me up and down the mtn 4 times one Sunday..finally lost him as the dogs found a fresh bobcat to chase instead..
