We raise and train UKC registered Bluetick coonhounds for Big Game hunting. Mountain Lions, Bobcats, and Black Bears. The bluetick breeding we like to use, and have been over 20 years, is Smokey River & Solid Northern. Triggers mother Punkin came from the Kootenay kennel out of Cranbrook, B.C., Canada. I have had hounds all my life. I was raised with Black & Tans from the time I was born.Then for my High School gradution present I asked for two Bluetick Hounds (Pride & Rose) , you should have seen my dads eyes.
The Blueticks we have now are Smokey River & Solid Northern. My lead dog that we have built the kennel around is Zink's Montana Blue Trigger and then the furture belongs to Triggers nephew Zink's Montana Blue Boone. Trigger is a all around hound on lions, bobcats and black bears. He is a hound that you can put on a track and you know what the end result will be game in tree. This hound is a super strike dog, you can road him or he will strike off the rig.
We strive to develope the type of hound that is a track to tree hound. The blueticks we have are really strong running a track and treeing. Trigger is very good at locating and he goes from a long bawl to a big chop. I try to raise one or two litters of pups a year. The pups and started hounds we have been selling and training have been pleasing to the houndsmen who have bought them.
My second passion in life is Bowhunting elk in September during the rut.Then after archery season I enjoy hunting Mule deer. I was raised in the country, and my father brought me up to be a houndsman, outdoorsman, and a trapper.
My family and I love the great outdoors. So besides raising bluetick hounds and hunting, we ride quarter horses (Dakota, Scotty, Kansas & Dandy) and go camping and fishing. My wife Amy and I are raising our family to believe in God, and the reason why we hunt animals (to take part in). We want our family to be outdoorsmen & outdoorswomen and to respect what we have in this great state of Montana.
