I was running the other day had about a 45 minute race when my hounds all returned to off the track they was scary like something was after them has this every happen to you guy and what do you think it was?
I have 3 speculations one could be a bear or bob cat or coyotes and I had a couple that would come back if they would run into other people in the woods where we was hunting maybe someone tried to pick them up
I think beagler is right.
Your lucky something didn't get one of you hounds
The only time my dogs comes back like that they have encounted the creature scent.
There was some kind of animal that scaried them.
Coyotes will cause them to do that.
Have dogs that will come right in if they run across a deer. Act like they are afraid I will think they were running it.
mountain lion scary my hounds hurt on of them bad.
