I believe that
it is between 15 and 20 degrees per briquet, and try to make sure that the bottem briquetes are not touching the bottem of the oven as if touching it makes it easier to burn and will not heat as evenly as should.
I have seen some very good track dogs ( even finished dogs) that if not up front will gladly switch to a different track if not in the leadthat drives me nuts .
Seems that dogs that are a cut above whether it5 be track driving or flat out running down that track once it is jumped most just...
It is very interesting
Some dogs just flat out like the chase better than the tree and as I am sure you have seen will leave a tree or just keep going if there is still another track to trail .
As to full cry , I think that a lot of guys just feel ( like me) that it is hard to put or story...
My personel views are that there are times when that is true, but I do not believe that it is always the case. ( can go into detail but wont at this time) But I would'nt care if those dogs have the same kinda meet in the tree that I put them out on .
I dont take full cry so no article for me...
Pretty uncommon around here also
But It is fun when they do rig those cats , cause I have missed some they have not ;).
What I like about my dogs is that you can tell what kinda track it is by thier rignot animal but condition of track.;).
It is more fun and in my opinion easier to run off a rig .
As you know here in Idaho you can hunt bear about however you want , but My choice has always been rigging as it ( ussually ) gets rid of a lot of cold trailing , not always depends on conditions .

Your dogs teeth can become a very serious problem as if the teeth or gums become infected it can literaly take the life out of your dog.
I have not brushed my dogs teeth but I try to get them bones both real and milk bones just something to help get that tarter buildup down .
I have...
I garuntee it aint no lion but just below and a little ti the right of your arrow there is a nice looking bear in the picture got his head poking around the tree.;)
Just rember that us hound hunters are easy targets and making sure we are out front taking all the heat means guys that like thier bird dogs get to enjoy them longer without the inccessant fight against those environmental wacko's.
I will be hunting in 32a and 22
Have 2 buddies that drew fall bear tags over there .
Hope we can top last year the biggest went 6'10" and skull was 19"13/16 th's.
Was a good bear by anyones definition .
And just to clarify for all you nay sayers it was 6'10" squared so no tying it to the bumper...
Bears Canines were only about 1/4 inch above gum line and all other teeth were at gum line .I do0nt know how she was able to make it. Her gums were real rough almost like teeth.
