Yes, we are having fun with Doc. Also have a couple of young dogs that are showing some promise. Trying to spend as much time in the woods as we can. I will let you know if I locate the other female. Thanks. RT

I do enjoy hunting this time of year also. No leaves makes a good hound look better. Jim Combs, Jake Hall & I had a tough hunt last night. Twenty degrees and a bright moon. Made a den tree and one tree with a coon & a slick tree. My gyp has issues hitting big water when it's cold and had me ready to trade her off last night. Jake has a muscle disorder in his neck that makes him use a neck brace to hold his head up. Combs & I wear an inner tube around our waist and all three are retired. Walking to one tree were .7 miles from the truck and didn't know if they would ever find us, lol.

Sounds like I might be able to keep up with you guys.

Friday night it was cool and cloudy here with the temperature holding steady at about 32 degrees and a steady brisk wind blowing out of the northwest. Brian Moore and I took Doc and two young dogs and headed for the timber. The first turn out it was quiet for a good while and we finally drove around and found Doc treed alone with the coon on big oak. The young dogs ended up in a dozer pile. After that things really picked up and we hit some good tracks made four more trees having three singles and a double. My young dog out of Doc seemed to have turned the corner looking really good on three of the coons.

Saturday night Brian, Kevin Ennis and I hit the timber. The weather was clear and the temperature in the low 40's. It would take me all day to type out everything that went on with this hunt. Between the four dogs we treed six singles, two dens, two slick trees, one big viney oak that could of or could not of had a coon and a coon in a rock pipe that we seen. Man we were busy. I said that it seemed like on Friday night that my yonng dog out of Doc made some strides. Saturday night he split three times having one coon, the big viney oak and a slick tree. All said an done it was a good two nights hunting with some really good friends. Thanks RT

Hunt

Took Doc and a young male I have out last night for a short hunt.

Turned loose about 11 o"clock. It was cool and clear and there just wasn't much going on as far as any good tracks went. After about 20 minutes or so Doc opened up about 700 yards down a small branch. He worked his way down the branch opening every 3-4 minutes and finally got treed on a vine going up into a beech den. After that he treed two layups. One on a big oak next to a corn field and the other one was on a poplar tree next to a feed lot. Seems the coon were down early for awhile and then layed up.

I plan on taking Doc and my young dog out of him late tonight and see if anything is moving. RT

OK. You probably should know that the dog is Levi and the good looking guy on the right is yours truly. Anyone know who the other gentleman on the left is.

Wednesday night I hunted Doc and Hoss (DocxJenny). Made 5 trees with 3 coon a den tree and another tree that could of had a coon but if it did I couldn't find it. They split treed once with both dogs having a coon. So far I have been happy with the way Hoss has performed since I bought him at the Winter Classic.

Last night I took Doc and JJ. Doc opened about 50 yards from the truck on a bad track. Opening once in awhile and getting deeper all the time. He finally got treed a little over 1/2 mile in. I started in to Doc and when I got about 200 yards from him Waylon treed behind me. I went to Waylon first and he didn't have anything but did show that when he trees he is going to be a stay put tree dog. Doc was on a den.
The next turn out Doc and Waylon made two trees and had coon in both. Called it a night after that. RT

It is Cleveland Dunaway Jr.

Mr. Dunaway was the owner of Dunaway's Blue Boone and nite ch. Dunaways's Boone Jr. He sold Boone Jr. to Dave Dean. Boone Jr. was the sire of Dean's Norther Blue Hammer (1).

Just think about how many thousands of bluetick hounds over the last fifty years have these two hounds blood flowing through their veins. From the Hammer line to all the spin offs from the Hammer dogs.

I had the opportunity to have a conversation at Autumn Oaks in 1998 with Mr. Dunaway. It was an honor for Levi and me to get this picture taken with him. One of my favorite pictures. RT

Glad Max is doing good for you. Keep putting him in the hunts and keep me up on how he is doing.
For those that don't know Max is a liter mate to Leon's Darkside (Son x Ring) and is a real nice hound.

Saturday night Brian Moore and I had a real nice hunt. We took Doc, Hoss and Banjo. We made 9 trees with 6 having coon 2 dens and 1 slick tree. All around it was a good night for the dogs.
Sunday night was a whole different story. We just had one of those nights that we all have once in a while. Nothing went as planned. The dogs got in some tree tops, cut over and brier thickets. We did end up treeing two coon but it was not a good hunt for us or the dogs. There was a little to be happy about as Waylon one of our young dogs did get by himself and had a coon. Planning on going tonight and see what happens. RT

Kevin Ennis and I took Doc and JJ for a short hunt last night. WE made four trees and had two coon a den and a big oak that had vines going every where that could of had a coon but we didn't find it. JJ is starting to do better and is showing improvement each night out. It's just a matter of time until he really gets it going.

Taking Doc and Hoss tonight . Planning on giving Hoss some alone time next week and see how he does by him self. RT

Bestever:
Once again I apologize for my PM in-box not working. I keep trying with UKC to get it fixed with no luck. I will try once again next week and see what happens. You can e-mail me at texasridgebl@bluemarble.net or just give me a call 812-322-0263

Dennis:
In years gone by it would of been easy for me to just load up the truck and head for Kansas for a weekend hunt. But as we get older time and family responsibilities become more important to us. I do look forward to having the opportunity to take a walk in the woods with you and a couple good hounds someday soon. Until that time comes I will keep plugging along trying to get one treed. Hope to see you at Bluetick Days.

George:
I will not be able to make it to Ashland next weekend. I do plan on being at Portland for the Bluetick Reunion next month and at National Bluetick Days in Mississippi in May.

Thanks RT

Last night Kevin came over and we Doc, JJ and Hoss to the woods. Doc made three trees having two coon and a den but there just wasn't much in the way of any good tracks. We are getting in to the time of year when you can see coon out moving anytime day or night and you just can't predict when the best time is to hit the woods.

We hadn't seen or heard from Hoss since we cut them loose and couldn't pick him up on the tracker either. We got in the truck and headed down the road and found him off in a holler treed on big oak den. I'm not to sure how or why he ended up where he was but he did go find him a coon. RT

For those who have been following this thread sorry about the delay but I have been under the weather for a few days. Bronchitis. Doing better now.

Last Wednesday night I took Doc and Hoss for a short hunt. First turn out Doc and Hoss split treed with Doc having a coon and Hoss dare I say it had an opossum. First time Hoss has treed one for me.We will work on that. The next turn out Doc and Hoss treed together and had a coon.

Thursday night I again took Doc and Hoss for a short hunt and made two trees with one having a huge nest in it and the other having a coon.

Friday night Kevin and I took Doc, Waylon an Hoss and had a good hunt. We just made one turn out in the hills making seven trees with five coon and a couple of slick trees. "It Happens" to us all. Thanks. RT
