Can a feller break a dog from running bobcats? If not how can you shoot 'em out of the tree? I get close to the tree and the cat bails out. What to do. I guess it would be fun if you could get one every now and then. My dogs treed it 2 or 3 times last night never got to see it.

If the dog is a true bobcat dog, sell him and take that money and buy a pack of good coon dogs.

If u think your cat running dog is a cull
let me know I will take him off your hands.

Brake em by using house cats

How do you break a dog from running bobcats by using house cats? That just doesn't make any sense.

you dont thank thay have similaritys like sent I used them to train cat dogs way not use them to break dogs

Ok, maybe I was a little harsh. You obviously are new or have never thought this through. I think that a bobcat and a housecat MAY have similar scent. I also KNOW that dogs can tell the difference between individual animals in the same species. Therefore, unless you have a dog thats afraid to run ANYTHING after its been shocked on one specific species, I am failing to see how you would break a dog off of bobcats by using housecats. I think deer and elk have similar scents. I however can assure you that most dogs that are broke off deer and never hunted around elk, will in fact run elk at a given opportunity.

White tail & mule deer have different scents.
U can have your dog off white tails
& they will run mulies

nice bobcat dogs dont just come around every day. have fun catching bobcats or sell them off. i was wondering how many you have caught with these dogs. you were asking how to shoot them out because they never stay. well not to say your dogs are false treeing but alot of times a cat will bump a tree and thats all your dog has to work with and theyll tree instead of seeing if the track continued down the hill. good cat dogs will drift a track hard enough to catch it on the ground before it knows its on em. not every time but it happens.

That is the reason every one I know uses running dogs on cats
on dry ground.
Tree dogs will tree on 90 % of the marked trees & this will blow up the race.
Running dogs will truck right on past the marked tree & pick up the track again.
