Would like to know what you guys with hounds feed them.I feed mine beef and tripe and about a month before the hunt starts I ween them onto milk replacer to give them that extra help keeping wait on during the hunt.Good hounds will run themselves ragad till they cant run anymore so it's very important to keep the wait and strength up in them as well as making sure they are in good running condition.
How often do you run your hounds before the hunt or are they on a chain or in a pen from one hunt year to the next hunt year.I start running my hounds in late spring till about 3 weeks before the hunt.The wife gets pissed that every weekend I'm gone at least one night with the hounds but it pays off when the push comes at deer hunting time.

I supliment with meat also.I only start running my hounds in Oct.This gives them plenty of exesise before the hunt.
In season I only run one hound at a time with one of the other hunters colies.My hounds rarely go far then 10-15 min runs are as a rule.This way I dont have to go camp hopping into the wee hours looking for my dogs.This also gives them a break on thier day off and they dont look starved at the end of the season.
