Thanks guys and gals. I took the hounds up rigging around and invited an old hounddogger to ride along, as he wanted to watch my old dogs work the rig. We'd never hunted together although we've visited about hunting alot over the past eight or ten years. He has probably been running and training hounds for nearly forty years so I had the microscope on both my hounds and myself ha..........
I put Ike (a nine year old redbone), Choco (a seven year old redbone) and Kody (a four year old half redbone/English cross) on the box and cut for tracks. They rigged everything from a screaming hot bear track to bumping on a lion and bobcats. This hunting partner of mine takes alot of pride in knowing the country, knowing hounds and finding a tough track, so he wanted out everytime they rigged to looked for tracks and verify what they were rigging.
He had brought along a couple young female rig dogs, and the older one was only two or so. His females roared on the fresh bear but never bumped on the bobcats, the lion or some of the older bear tracks. On the way back to town he commented, "that's really neat to watch and see those old dogs rig tracks they can't even start. With dogs like that you don't even need to cut for tracks."
I guess they passed the test..............
keep'em treed, ike

Sounds like they did!! That's great!! I loved watching Sissy and Lightening on the front of Ken;s truck I guess you call it rigging for tracks! Sissy's B & T sire is a box dog from Utah from Duncan Kennels.
