Parforce Hound
Parforce dog hunting is a method of hunting where mounted hunters and packs of dogs pursue large game, such as a stag, until the animal is exhausted and cornered. The name comes from the French par force, meaning "by force," referring to the dogs' role in tiring out the quarry. This form of hunting was historically considered the noblest and required significant planning and a strict, coordinated effort among the participants.

🐾 “The First Houndsmen”

Caption:
Long before rifles, trail cameras, or corn piles — there were hunters and their dogs.

Archaeologists in Saudi Arabia have discovered carvings that are over 8,000 years old, showing hunters running dogs on leashes, chasing game across the desert.
That’s the oldest known picture of a man and his dog working side by side.

Even older cave paintings — like the 45,000-year-old panels in Sulawesi, Indonesia — show people hunting animals. But no dogs, and definitely no “food plots.”

🧠 Fun fact: In all the ancient cave art discovered so far, there’s not a single known picture of corn piles, bait sites, or planted fields.
Our ancestors painted the hunt, not the bait.

👉 Proof that hunting with dogs is older than farming itself.

Well isn’t that just interesting

Did you know that raccoons do not wash their food? They wet it, there's a difference. It turns out that their dexterous forepaws are covered in tiny sensory spikes and the density of pressure sensitive cells on their paws are about 5 times of most mammals. Humans and other primates match them in this respect. Their brains are wired such that nearly 2/3 of their cerebral cortex's sensory perception is devoted to touch. So when raccoons wet their food and submerge their paws those sensory spikes on the paws soften and become more sensitive making them feel the surface even better. The raccoon is seeing with its paws. Even long periods in cold water does not reduce this sensitivity. This helps them find food in aquatic and muddy conditions with diminished visibility. It also lets them see food with their paws while keeping an eye out for predators. Raccoons are very smart and adapt well to new situations. If you put something down that a raccoon has never encountered before it doesn't shy away from it. Its first inclination is to grab it and investigate.

Back in the 60s the only way about anyone deer hunted was with dogs.

Many a day I rode with my grandpa to cut the deer off as it was about to cross a road or trail.

There was only one big hunting club in the entire southern part of the county and there were dog and dog pens galore.

It was fun as all get out. The land was open to anyone and nobody cared where you hunted. The good ol days were just that, GOOD!

Already down on your luck and the only thing you had left, loved, trusted..you name it! Poor guys got nothing but sorrow to live with. I get the issue, I understand the situation but dang do I feel for the homeless man who lost his side kick that was only trying to protect his owner. 🥺😭 I love dogs and the one you have, it loves you ❤️💔🐶

A spokesperson for the Tulsa Day Center said an early morning raid of a homeless camp led to a dog being shot.

Great story and another reason to keep hunting with hounds legal!!

A black bear in Michigan preyed on sheep year after year. Finally, my dogs caught up with him: https://trib.al/m3RrXCH
