fast hound on GPS

What would a fast hound avg.speed be for 5 hours . I hear all kind of numbers .What do you think?????????????????? COMENTS

Re: fast hound on GPS

Depends on terrain size of Pen what style of Dog it is all different circumstances when your asking this question

Re: fast hound on GPS

I agree 100 percent ! But that average speed don't tell you nothing in my opinion. I don't even look at it anymore.

Re: fast hound on GPS

A good speed for a hound in a big fox pen. Will be 9 to 11mph. If you really know how to run your GPS. You can pick out your front line from your pack dogs. But every thing comes in to play.

Re: fast hound on GPS

On my alpha my dogs run at least 3 miles an average faster than they did on my 320. I always wondered why my buddy dogs average faster than mine and they were running side by side most of the day now I know why the Alpha picked up different than the 320.

Re: fast hound on GPS

All depend on type of dog I get around 9-12 where I run thick hilly pen and I run 3 day dogs

Re: fast hound on GPS

On the outside, in the thick brush on gray fox, where I hunt, 6-7 mph average is a good speed. Sometimes the hound that keeps getting thrown out and spends a lot of time trying to get back in the race (using the road and such) will cover more distance at a higher average speed than the hounds actually running the fox.
As said above, all depends on terrain, if hound is running game down a path, open woods, pasture compared to palmettos, scrub, briers and vines.

Re: fast hound on GPS

Come to Old 74 and run 9-11 MPH and you will win every hunt! LOL unless its in the Road. Watch your hounds and a lot of the time your slowest hound per Garmin will be running the most game. Just an Old Fat Mans opinion.
