A study of the history of hunting with hounds, the development of hunting breeds, and contemporary hunting practices in North America. Hunting with Hounds in North America is a unique study of what can be considered the world’s oldest team sport. History suggests that man has hunted with hounds for at least twenty thousand years. Using evidence from ancient Egyptian drawings to paintings by the great masters, Dr. von Recum traces the evolution of the hound, or free-hunting canid, and its place beside human hunters. While hunting dogs like pointers and retrievers assist the human hunter in locating prey, hounds instinctively know how to find, track, and even capture prey on their own. Dr. von Recum describes the two classes of hounds. Sighthounds, such as greyhounds, whippets, and borzois, are lean, fast dogs designed to chase down, or course, their prey. Scenthounds, including redbones and beagles, will follow a hot or cold trail until their quarry is caught, cornered, or treed. Discussions of different breeds, including hound-and-dog hybrids, are included. Dr. von Recum vividly describes contemporary American hunting practices, from the fast-paced fury of prairie coursing to the formalities of traditional fox hunting. He also addresses important concerns facing houndsmen today, from communicable diseases to game-management practices.

Hounds is a book for all those who admire the most endearing of sporting dogs, the scenthounds, the enthusiastic canine companions of the sportsmen who are thrilled by seeing a pack of hounds in full cry - watching these exceptional canine athletes exercising their delight in pursuing scent, whether real or artificial. Painstakingly researched and packed with information, this book covers both the well-known recognized breeds and the more obscure ones from overseas, some quite unknown to the British public. This book is not a manual covering training, grooming, nutrition and dog care; it is very much a celebration of the hound's contribution to the sporting and companion dog scene, and an examination of their past, their peformance and their prospects in an increasingly urban society.This is the fourth and final volume of David's quartet on sporting dogs following: Sporting Terriers (2011), Sighthounds (2012) and Gundogs (2013), all published by Crowood.

Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... dead in the course of a run, as his master was in the act of opening a gate for Lady Theodora Grosvenor. Lord Wolverton kept the mastership of the bloodhound pack till the year 1880, and he showed good sport, though, as I have said, there was even more uncertainty about the quality of the hunting than with foxhounds. Like other members of his family, Lord Wolverton was devoted to sport. He had been entered early with the V.W.H. and the Old Berkshire Hounds, and later he was well known with Baron Bothschild and in Essex. After he sold the bloodhounds to Lord Carrington, he hunted the country round Iwerne with harriers. The bloodhounds were not a success with Lord Carrington, and he parted with them after one season to the Comte le Conteulx le Canteleu, who used them for hunting the deer and the wild boar. At the latter sport I believe they were hardly courageous enough to be successful. It was evident in the days when the bloodhounds were in the Vale that they required the most careful handling. As the bloodhound does not "pack" naturally, he is inclined to trust too much to himself, and to take no notice of what his fellows are doing. He is shy and nervous, and if rated or struck will turn sulky and refuse to work. It was therefore by his study of the character of his hounds and his individual knowledge of each, as well as by his unfailing patience, that Lord Wolverton showed the sport he did. A characteristic of the hounds was that they hunted entirely by scent, never raising their heads for a view, this trait doubtless coming from their ancestors the black St Huberts, which were used for hunting the dense forests of the Ardennes, in which they could only run by scent. Some twenty years before Lord Wolverton was hunting in Dorset, Mr...

"Ed Vance, acclaimed hunter and expert tracker, hunted mountain lions, bears, and bobcats in the mountains and forests of California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Montana for 25 years. Featured in Bowhunters Digest 1st. edition, Los Angeles Times West Magazine (1967), Saga Magazine (1968), Western Outdoors (1968), Bow & Arrow Magazine (1971), Bow & Arrow Magazine (1973), and Western Outdoors News (1968 – 1973), Ed Vance risked everything to follow his dreams, and without knowing it, chiseled a name for himself and for his dogs in the history of these places. The bond between the hunter and his hounds was one of deep trust and reliance, in a time when the changing landscape threatened to take it all. Trained by a Hound Dog recounts the legends of the hunt, in the authentic voice of the man who was there, told as if the reader were sitting with him around a campfire. The true stories he tells of his hounds and the lions and bears they caught in some of the country's toughest terrain and conditions are a glimpse into an era of Western History that has faded from view"--Back cover.
