Theres an elderly guy down the street from me with 2 coonhounds, all I can say is that they seem pretty laid back when he walks them, but they sure do howl a lot, its a very pronounced hound howl thats a bit annoying actually, thankfully I dont live close enough to hear it every day, except when we walk past his house.
I agree that with these types of dogs, since they have strong prey drive, its important to keep them mentally and physically stimulated, otherwise a bored dog will turn into a destructive one.
I have a hunting dog, but I dont hunt, which doesent mean Uno doesent have a good life. I hike and jog a lot and he's my partner in crime, when its cooler we also bike together, and he comes kayaking with me when I go to the mountains. So he's never really bored, even though he technically doesent have a "job".
