Just curious to see what others opinions are on the subject. At what age would you stop letting your hounds hunt for fun?? I'm talking about older dogs that have already proven their worth and over the age of 5 yrs old. Had a long discussion on what some should or shouldn't do with older dogs that have graduated high school and their uses other than breeding... My belief is to let the individual choose when to call it quits or not, if they still seem to have that fire and desire, I'll let them play.
