What type of dogs do you boys plan to run this year? I've always ran hounds, mainly because I field trailed them out of deer season. I see more and more boys around here going to smaller dogs. Most of the guys in our club run beagles or mixed up dogs. What are the reasons you run hounds or beagles and how many do you turn out at a time? Me, I typically haul 2-3 dogs unless its just a few of us hunting and I am the only one bringing dogs I will bring 4-5.
