I have heard that dogs are really handy for finding wounded game.
yep marktwain they are called mountain curs brought over by the first settlers, they are called curs because in the old days the rich were taxed on their dogs with long tails so the poor, curtailed( cut) their dogs tails so they would NOT BE TAXED. That’s why they are called curs. real good at finding game wounded or not. First American hunting dogs everyone should have a few. They don’t runs miles and miles like a hound. Real easy to hunt. Proud to have own them for more years than I can count. They will decoy coyotes, tree any game that will climb, blood trail, damn near make breakfast for ya in the morning. We own Kemmer Stock Mountain Curs here, Got some good German dogs called Jagdterriers that are real handy and smaller than a cur.
