I'll be the first to admit that I struggle with this. I’ve been sure I was walking into a bear bay up several times to get there and see a bull elk backed up against a tree. It is something that I have struggled with since my first hound. It's very easy to assume the best about your dog and...
Beagles and rabbit hunting are one of America’s favorite pastimes—only slightly behind baseball and hot dogs. Rabbit hunting continues to be a popular family tradition and a gateway for youth and newcomers to enter the hunting and hound communities. It only takes one round of beagles baying on a hot track breaking the stillness of a crisp fall morning for...
Purchasing a furry, four-legged hunting companion is one of the most fun things to do when it comes to hunting, no matter what it is to be used for. I am yet to meet a person that doesn’t get excited and full of joy when puppies are around and if I ever do I will know that I am in...
There’s not a lot I can tell you about myself and my family without it involving our hounds. Our life has slowly evolved and shaped itself around them, directly involving them in everything that we do. My husband can be found in the woods just about every day of the year and the kids and I tag along as often...

At the age of ten he became interested in sled dogs and by the age of twelve had his own team. Bear guided dog sledding tours, canoe trips and backpacking trips in Maine, and glacial dog mushing...

You come home excited about your new puppy and you can't wait to take it to town + show all of your friends. I get it. Their wrinkly face, floppy ears, and mini size are to die for, but I'd think twice about letting the new family member roam the town with you until it has had ALL of its...
Can Garmin improve Battery life in the Alpha 200i? As with anything it is possible to put a larger battery in the device. Just think about carrying around a truck battery with you in the woods, heck you might get your alpha to last a month or two with the right one. One of the first questions asked in a...
David here wanting to introduce myself to the Double U team. Growing up along the western slope of the Rockies in a small-town Colorado community, my dad mentored me into a lifestyle with dogs a part of our every day, living hand in paw. He has made his living training bird dogs by preference and every day pets by necessity...
I was born and raised in Southern Utah and intend to live here for the rest of my life. I grew up on a farm/ranching operation and as far back as I can remember I have had chores and responsibilities on the farm. I got my first hounds when I was 13 years old. They were free, and absolutely worthless...
