Hounds and mules hunting lions in the desert. It's what I love to do and hopefully will continue to do. In this video I give a little commentary on how I like to hunte where I like to hunt and what I like to hunt lol. I also take a pack mule (Old Jet Johnson) to carry extra gear just incase I decide to stay out. It being 2 days before Christmas it just wasn't a good idea to camp out.

Hi Brett, no need for the simplistic explanation here. Dogs, mules, and yourself on the hunt is all I need!

Thank you .. still learning

[@garlandturner1642]

January about 15 years ago I was bow hunting deer in those same hills just south of that flat top bluff. In a steep ravine with bluffs on both sides I found the skeleton of a mule deer doe which looked like it had been killed by a lion. As I continued to climbed up the ravine another 75 yards there was the skeleton of a fawn. I think a lion got them both Doesn’t look like real rough county in the videos but it’s extremely difficult to walk in that entire mountain range. The loose rocks from pebbles to 6 inches in diameter on top of solid rock with just enough soil to lubricant the slide makes for some interesting ski slopes Of course the cactus always help break the fall just before the cliff edge Great video and indeed the winter winds on sunny days can be bitter cold Thanks 🙏

[@BrettVaughnB100]

lol yep those cactus will get you ... it is pretty rough .. and does hold a few lions .. Thanks Garland

[@tadsiskiyou4213]

I had a couple of mixed breeds that i USED TO LOVE TO HUNT OVER. One was Catahoula and Shepherd dog and the other was flatcoated retriever and Border collie. We hunted everything together, and they were really bird specialists. I did have some great Jackrabbit hunts with them in the sagelands of Central Or. They loved hunting Jackrabbits. Watching them work, and being able to read their signals was really a neat experience. The way their body language changes when they are on scent, and how their noses are down and their tails are thrashing. That was where it was at.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I do love the hounds .. thanks

[@markwebb9911]

Oh man I wish you would've had a couple more hours of daylight.......it was hurting me you having to call them off. Great dog and film work though. Otis and myself have been having some really good hunts......I'll send you some pictures when I have a chance. Until next time take care.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Me too Mark …I just can’t tell how far behind one I am …thanks

[@hollerbredkennels3579]

Another great video brother 👍 hounds sure sounded nice on that track! U have done a great job on your packs handling! I love a hound that listens to what I say, very important part in my book!!!

[@BrettVaughnB100]

[@BrettVaughnB100]

[@practice965]

Hello, I have been watching your channel for a few months now and I must say, It is awesome! I would like to know about your riding saddle, who made it, etc... Thank you

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you very much... James Morris made one my saddles that I use the most .. quarter horse bars and modified association.. gotta pad up right but seems to fit them fine .. it was made the way I wanted it .. little lighter leather free swinging stirrup leathers set just little further forward then a roping saddle ..

[@Nick76571]

First one of your Video's I've seen ,along about Dark, I got to Thinking old Mox Mox ,was back in the Area ,and Was Wanting be sure you Don't wind up like Ben Lilly 🐕 Looks fun Sir ,If I wasn't so old n Beat up ,I'd like go too !!!

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Here you go ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXW8qJSdrJyjg9k kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3evZ4N_i6aGfrs .... thanks Nick I had almost forgot about this

[@royq1434]

Did Sheila had them pups? I would love to have a pup from your booger dog, I love the looks and huntability off the dog

[@BrettVaughnB100]

She did but I already got them to some hunters .. if I have any more I will let you know .. Thanks

[@JRMny-nl4ut]

You go thru a lot of mules to get two you liked

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Really not that many … or I didn’t think so anyway .. thanks

[@mariusrusu2662]

Good moning ✋🇷🇴 Marius

[@robertmclean9737]

Ain't much around to Tree a Lion in lots of Rocks. Cheers

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yeah kinda hope to get them up on a big rock or bluff .. could be dangerous I guess .. Thanks!

[@aardhond]

Its all about the dogs , i also cant really care or a hunter miss the fox after i dug it out of the ground,, i just come back another day to dig him again cuz a well trained fox/badger will bring up more qualities from the dog

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yep I like to watch these dogs develop and learn how to trail in this desert .. it takes some patience and you have to enjoy the process ... Thanks!

[@lanegra9505]

Howdy sir really enjoy watching ur content.. wondering the gear that choose for packing hauling stuff. The hounds looking great keep up the good work blessings.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Just a saw buck pack saddle and some panniers ... depends on what I'm doing what panniers I use .. some hard and then some soft .. Thanks!

[@vincehalverson7378]

Brett, where do you get your hats. Seems wide brim hats are harder to find than they used to be. Glad fat Lorrie is joining in the hunt.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I just buy my felt hats here at the western store in Las Cruces .. my summer I get on amazon amzn.to/481toN7

[@edwardwatson6606]

Question for you that back strap capturing the tail so the animals can’t raise their tails to relieve its self

[@BrettVaughnB100]

No they can raise the tail .. when they need too .. I've been asked that a lot .. we call it a britchen ..keeps the saddle from sliding forward going down steep hills .. Thanks!

[@royq1434]

Do Sheila had them pups? I would love to have a hound from your booger dog, I love the looks and huntability off the dog

[@BrettVaughnB100]

She did and they were all taken .. If I ever have anymore I will let you know .. Thank you!

[@rockyperez2828]

I noticed that the wind is making the video horrible if you would put a bandaid over the mike puege on ur camera it will cut out 80% of the windy noise, just saying hos

[@glenntrumbo9766]

Im from Kentucky i have a 9 yr old Black an Tan an 4 month old Walker pup just wondering why the bobbed tails. Really enjoy the videoy.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thanks for watching ... we like to cut the tails to keep them from getting bloody tips from whipping them back and forth .. ie "Monkey Tail" I don't have all of them docked so we will see how these others turn out ..

[@rockhunter6260]

Those hounds had her going Brett, just one more day. I’m sure you didn’t rub it in on your wife until you open your 🎁👍🏻

[@BrettVaughnB100]

lol i caused us to miss her company Christmas party one year because I was out with the hounds .. I just made sure I got home this time ..of course there was no party this year but I thought I better stay home... Thanks!

[@jefferyschirm4103]

Do you ever pack a little snack for the mules when your way out 2or3 day ect. !! Sorry if it's a dumb question ?

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes I pack either oats or alfalfa pellets .. Thanks .. not a dumb question at all .. I also let them graze on whatever grass is available

[@kennethmiller6158]

Have you ever went back to get your mule and the mule was not there

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I lost a pack mule one time that had been just following us .. found her a day later .. I have tied up before and went with the hounds on foot and came back and couldn't locate where I had tied up at for a while lol .. most of the time they won't leave as long as I'm not too far away .. Thanks

[@haroldwillman9876]

Need to get better drifting track. Dogs in that countryl

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Lol .. track to track in this country till jumped

[@haroldwillman9876]

Lol when running in circles not getting any were the drifting track dog will push the track make the he climb todays track dogs are way better than the old time dogs were better tree dogs

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Let me guess .. your probably a coon hunter .. never hunted west of the Mississippi .. and have never dry ground lion hunted ?

[@bretdavisdmd]

I hope I'm not asking something that's been answered 100x, but what kind of hounds are yours? Like your name btw, I'm also Bret.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Your just missing a T lol they are just crossed up hounds .. stuff that has been bred up to trail lions in the dirt .. thanks!

[@ismaelmedina3830]

What do you do with lions

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Depends ..

[@wallacerose7499]

Do you Harvest lions ?

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes

[@JRMny-nl4ut]
