Hunted coon with hounds my entire life. My dad traded and sold dogs his entire life it was not uncommon to have 20-30 hounds in the yard at any given time. We also hunted hogs with dogs for almost 20 years and had squirrel dogs as well. After losing my dad I quit hunting for a while but I do have a pair of 1 Year old registered blueticks that I hope to put in the woods this fall. I just can't leave behind the experience of standing in the dark listening to the hounds run. That's it. I was houndless for 15 or so years. I hope to never be again. There's just something about that bawl ringing across the hollows on a crisp fall/winter night. I had a redbone born on Valentine’s Day called her Val. We road hunted her a lot and she also rigged out of the truck. Raised her with a fast bluetick gip named Sue, was a deadly pair on coons. Those two dogs would do everything together except stay together when I lost them. I would leave my jacket by the road the last place I saw them. Ole Val would be lying on my jacket the next morning and Sue would be miles down the road trying to trail my truck back home. Lots of memories. The dog in my profile pic was my last hound. She left the house one night to go hunting and never came home. I'd never worried too much about them getting stolen/killed/shot until that happened. Well, Pete tried to name her Heathen, but I just can't seem to call her that even though she is one, lol. It just doesn't roll off my tongue right. So he calls her that, and I call her Dixie.

As far as the long run I dunno. The cur will run deer. My hound's not gonna. I guess it depends on the pup. If she can see a deer and turn away despite the other dog running it like my last hound did then fine. If the cur running deer makes it so I can't break the pup off it, they'll need to be separated.
