Using Walker Hounds for Running Deer

[eboutdoors 2]

We dog hunt here in Florida using Walker Hounds. We have four, 2 male and 2 female and they're absolute hunting machines. I've seen a lot of other breeds being used overseas. Anyone working with Walker Hounds across the pond?

What do you hunt with them and how? I.E flush to rifle / shotgun? Bring to bay? Or pull down?

We mainly hunt deer with them but sometimes hogs too. Mainly using shotguns but some hunters in our group prefer rifle. We hunt these areas on the lease we call 'blocks' and what we do is put the dogs in on one end of a block. They start trailing and winding for deer until they jump one and then a race starts. They'll chase the deer until they either lose it, someone shoots it or we call them off because they're approaching the edge of the property.
