Tagging in to hear what actual hunters are using. I've wanted to get into this for awhile, and in videos I've seen a wide range of breeds. There is a semi-local hunter that sells pups....I believe they are a Catahoula/Cur? It may have more to do with temperament than breed. You need a dog aggressive enough to give chase, but not so aggressive that it wants to run them down and kill them. Hope someone with actual experience chimes in.
