Fellas my dad and uncle have backed out on getting deerdogs again durnit.........  They said they cost to much to feed and a dude we hunt with offered us 4brokedogs for 600dollars trackingcollars and everything on this pastweekend but dad turned him down......... Dad said he wants to get Rabbitdogs because dont eat so much and dont cost as much to feed so its looking like we will be hunting rabbits more nextseason.........-tim PS:Im not complaining Im actually gunna be happy just to have some dogs to run whether it be rabbits or deer but deerhunting is still AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!-tim |

I'm feeding 9 walkers 3 are pups for about a $100.00 a month.Deer packs come in all sizes you don't have to have 8 or 10 dogs.One guy in our group only has one dog but its a good one.You can have 2 or 3 good dogs and be better off than someone that has 10 or 12 that aren't so good.And if you only have 2 or 3 dogs a pen isn't a must have with just 2 or 3 dogs you can keep them on a chain.I keep 3 of my best dogs on chain and the pups stay in the pen with my other dogs.That way if they did dig out I still have a pack to run.I usually only turn out 2 to 4 dogs at a time anyway.The best race we have had this year was with 2 of my dogs.You could feed 2 or 3 dogs for around 30 bucks a month and keep them on chain.Back when I was younger I kept all my dogs on chain and used 55 gal. drums for their dog house.Just thought I would put my two cents in.

i would get me two good deer dogs because you can feed good dogs just as cheap as a pen full of some what good dogs..

i keep my 2 beagles at a guys house and i pay for the feed since its 30 miles from my house, i feed them 2-3 times a week and he gets the rest. i pay for all of the food for our 8 dogs just since he feeds them and washes the pens out when im not there. but i pay about 50-60 dollars a month in the off season to feed themn and about 75 dollard during dog season. we jump their feed up when their runnin.
but anywho, dad has 8-10 dogs and me and a guy kinda share 8 more and we al pitch in and i pay for food like i said and it works out. i dont have a place at my house to keep them so i just buy all the food to pay for the water to wash the pens out and all that..
