He doesn't shoot the lions. His dogs tree the lion, then he bangs the tree with a stick causing vibration and the cat jumps. The dogs sometimes scrap with the cat but it's 4 on 1 and yes the dogs are in danger and sometimes get scratched up or seriously hurt. But the cat runs further up the mountain. He may tree/chase the cat 2 or 3 times until it's far enough up the mountain and not going to come back for their livestock or elementary school kids. Yea a cat was seen near the school so they called him in to run it off.It would never occur to me to even think about using a dog to trail a lion as the lion can just turn around and kill 6 dogs in rapid succession as a mountain lion can slap a dog and break it's spine instantly. Then again it would never occur to me to hunt something as beautiful as a mountain lion in the first place.Again no GSP owner ever shows their GSP an animal or trail, really this happens the other way around as the GSP seems to know the unknowable and does not need the handler for anything. The fact is that GSP owners understand this and all others are wannabees including English Pointer owners who's doggies are afraid to get their feet wet. Again the best French hunter is the Braque Francais which is merely an unrefined GSP.I said I showed my dog where I shot the deer. He then picked up the blood trail and ran right to the deer. I actually had to wait because if the thing wasn't dead yet my dog would have made him get up and run further into the woods.No German Shorthair owner has ever shown their partner where any animal live or dead was or is. So if you are showing your dog where a deer is, from a hunting standpoint you just have the wrong dog. The photo also looks like a cross between a bearded collie and a basset hound, now since the Basset comes from the Bloodhound their tracking abilities are there, but as you say the prey must already be dead as there are no legs. GSP's hunt, track, point and retrieve, the tracking can be scent or sight or both, they are legendary and if you ever get one they will teach you much because they are the teacher to inferior humans where hunting is concerned. Not sure if you are French but the French actually have their own GSP and they call it the Braque Francais because well they are French and can not admit that the German is the best of the best, always.Today I have a PBGV. Somehow I got lucky when I found him because he's an amazing hunting dog. If I shoot a deer I go get him and show him where I shot the deer and in 1 minute he's on the deer trying to rip the hair off it's ass so he can get to the rump meat. It's like instinctively he does exactly what wolves would do. And when the dogs at the dog park pick on a dog he knows pack mentality so he joins the pack. That way he's never the one getting picked on.Well your beagle is still a parasite that can not exist in the wild. People do not understand that wild dogs do not see breed, they just screw the bitch in heat irrespective of breed including wolves and coyotes. As such purebred dogs can never exist in the wild. LOL my 4 German Shorthairs could bite a bear on the ass and never be there when the bear turned around and run any beagle or bear to death.Beagles can't catch a rabbit but I've seen my beagle kill a possum, water vole, muskrat, mole, mice, groundhog, etc.The fact about a beagle even though they are great hunters is that they are short dogs with short legs meaning that they rarely catch anything on foot. The fact is that an eagle could choose to eat the beagle and not the other way around. Poor choice Fred as I owned a beagle onceAgain dogs and wolves are exactly the same species,Not true. Dogs are evolving too. Not into a new species at least not for a long time.There is no evolution between dogs and wolves as they are exactly the same species. That said I do like your baby gif, is that you or your Son?Excellent, see you are ok when not obsessed with fake trainsIndeependent
Actually Since Floods leave scars on the Earth Surface that last well basically forever----------we can safely say that there never ever was a World Wide Flood as described in the Bible. NEVER happened. We also know through genetics and DNA----that one pair of animals would not be enough genetics to repopulate any species----well other than a virus maybe.
And what is "world wide", when you are a Neolithic people who never wandered more than two dozen miles from your home village?
Obviously, it is a flood that devastates everything in your region, because that is the "world" as far as you are concerned. If you live on that split of land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in 4,000 BCE and then everything as far as the eye can see is underwater, of course as far as you are concerned "the entire world flooded".
Obviously even trying to change your mindset to seeing things how people thousands of years ago viewed them is beyond your capability.

We are talking about evolution. What that has to do with trains, I have absolutely no idea.
The dog, Canis familiaris, is a direct descendent of the gray wolf, Canis lupus: All modern dogs are descendants of wolves.
Now what about us? We are homo sapiens.
But humans are not descended from monkeys or any other primate living today. We do share a common ape ancestor with chimpanzees. It lived between 8 and 6 million years ago. But humans and chimpanzees evolved differently from that same ancestor.
Exactly?
and no breed of dog is evolved from the wolf, as no dog can exist in the wild.
(1) After an beagle had disappeared here in the near they found him 2 years later in the woods - he was very fat.
(2) If you say dogs are not able to survive but wolves are able to survive and you say the same time both are exactly the same species then something is wrong with this idea.
Sure some can but they rapidly either die with the survivors picking up wolf traits
Perhaps your beagle was a pussy? I had a pure bred blue tick beagle.
The blue tick beagle is a small hunting dog with a short coat that is partially mottled bluish-gray in color. It is a very friendly and intelligent breed that is often used for hunting rabbits and other small game.
PS Your tiny beagle will also not survive a northern winter in the woods, but since you live in the redneck shed.......Well u kno
PSS. One of my shorthairs actually handed my wife a rabbit once. Really
He acts tough but as soon as the other dog shows their teeth, he becomes a pussy. So cute. I've even heard him yelp like a little girl before the dog even bit him. They just ran at him with their teeth showing and YELP! So cute. I love that little guy.
What's a PBGV?
View attachment 507656
One day a raccoon was walking through the woods. He ran up and bit it in the neck and shook it but he doesn't have that powerful of a bite. So the raccoon was fine. It turned around and was going to fuck my dog up and I grabbed my dog by the body hair and picked him up like a pillow. The raccoon was clung to him and he was just about to start fucking up my dog and I shook the raccoon off. WHEW!
P.S. I was watching my favorite tv show mountain men. One of the guys dogs didn't come home. In the morning he found it dead. But it was 15 years old and it was winter. Heck, even coyote's and wolves have dens where they sleep and keep warm. I feel sorry for the lone wolf who gets kicked out of his pack and has to live on his own.
PBGV. Petite (small) Bassett Griffon Vendeen. Vendee is the town in France where the breed came from.
I was wondering what kind of dog does the guy on Mountain Men use for hunting mountain lions.
Blue tick coonhounds are the preferred choice for most, but black and tan hounds, leopard curs and redbone hounds are also used.
On Mountain men one guy uses Treeing Walker Coonhounds
We always joke that the reason he doesn't kill the cats is because they are his business. If he kills them he's out of a job. They'll be back. But at least he's instilling a fear of man and dogs in them. It's not worth coming to kill a human child, cat, dog, sheep or cow.
