Why would anyone give a dam if he got his dogs that night or waited till the morning for them to come out of that hell hole. Got to agree with the kid


Posted by rob thompson on 10-05-2017 02:00 AM:

I really don't just wanted to give him a hard time because I remembered a post he made a while back then Richard started in and I couldn't drop it

Long before Garmin and before I had my mn10 my long range never quit hogs dogs spent many a night in the woods...i would try to find them or call them in until I about lost my voice...last resort is blow the truck horn before I laid out a sweaty T-shirt or jacket...I always left it hid upwind and out of sight so dogs wouldn’t be seen while waiting on me...i way a young man then so I was up to the challenges...

Telemetry was awesome...I knew where to look and saved me from calling thus saving my voice box from getting sore...and the alpha...anyone can call in the dogs...minimal training required...

It seems back in the old days dogs were bred to barked on trail so we could hear them and to help us keep up with the dogs...it sure was fun visualizing what the dogs were doing...

I haven't left one in a long time since the newer garmins came out but not long ago in the late 80's I did it several times. I didn't have a tracking system and coons were thin due to trapping plus I had a great coon dog that hunted till he found one. Didn't matter what county. Sometimes I would find him in morning under a coon sometimes under the porch I cut him from.

I don't believe this man is afraid of the dark but since you brought that up,I have seen several that were that had so called grand nights at their house and also hunted other peoples dogs for a few hundred a month. As far as what one fellow said about maybe having wld hunts there. That's what went through my mind when all them were complaining about it in Georgia. Personally I don't think many would want to hunt in this part of country where it can take up to 2 hrs to go 720 yrds to get to tree or a hole. Them places like these a person best have heavy duty briar proof clothes on or subject not to have much on at all just getting to them,then you gotta come back out with two dogs on leash through it again and likely want be the same way you came in. Blood,sweat,running on your face, in your eyes,briars in your hands everything you grab to stay balanced. So ya'll go ahead and judge this man and while you stroll down that hedge row,like a Saturday walk in the park thinking its the 4th of July and jump that little fence and there he is boys. Ya'll don't have a clue and don't want to.a few nights like this and you would quit,period. Come on down,I'll guide you in some pretty woods and hope they don't get out of pocket into the maze,cause if they do,I'll go with you to get' m, buckle up butter cups! Ought to be ashamed,responding like this. Come on down,the waters fine,Lol

Sounds like a typical coon hunt to me boys. Man up or buy a squirrel dog.

Challenges

To all.
When you get tired of the rough stuff (eventually you will). Buy good equipment and do a little training. Coon hunting can be pretty easy most nights, and you won't always be dragging butt the next day. If you don't have an Alpha, Garmin makes a trash breaker with the tone feature. It reaches way out there, even in rough stuff. Get them tone broke. Anytime you want them to stop what they are doing and come back, they will. Use it with a Garmin Astro. It is very important to know if they are headed back to you, or being stubborn.
Works great.

The best thing that has happened to my Hog hunting has been the Garmin alpha...I can go home in 4 hours if I choose instead of 14...

I got some laika's we'll take,tree coons too. Guarantee to have you bleeding like a stuck hog in the daytime in this mess. These southern squirrel ain't like them park, golf course coons either,their worse. Come on down,fellows,the waters fine.


Posted by Ozark Hillbilly on 10-08-2017 09:58 PM:

Haha! Southern squirrel are tough! I surely couldn't follow a fluffy dog to one! Especially not through a briar patch! GAWWWWLEEEEE! The thought just sends shivers down my spine! A fluffy dog that is..... not thickets. I think what most people are saying is that hunting dogs is tough. So if you're going to do it, you best be tough. And if you ain't tough enough, don't get on here and tell about it. I myself would rather hear how you BLED and CRAWLED, and SWEATED to retrieve your hound. Because that is what dog hunters do. Not how you looked at the bushes, had fear in your heart, and went home without em.


Posted by Richard Lambert on 10-08-2017 10:14 PM:

Are you saying that he should have embellished his story a little bit. Now that sounds more like a real coonhunter.

well well well Gawwwwleeeee to each their own. Didnt know we were gonna start condemning dog breeds and turn this into a tuffman ******** contest.Last I saw crossed up dog just shook up the world. As far as the fluff goes, I know for a fact you won't be looking in no holes and looking up empty trees. Go on and hunt with one,a good one and tell me how yours stacked up. You'll see a whole new world of speed let alone deep and lonely.I treed mine at over 600 yards will a commercial airplane landing. I ain't even gonna go into cross breeding or hybrid crosses I've sold. Stick with them pure breed,you'll be fine. And if day comes when you're 68 and you're able,you can tell,how tuff you are. Stay away from fluffy creme puff dogs though,they give a whole new meaning to tuff coondog. Have a niceday.


Posted by Ozark Hillbilly on 10-09-2017 01:36 AM:

Sorry I offended you swamp. My points were
1 go get your dog.
2. I don't care how rough it is. Thick is thick, steep is steep. Go get your dog.
3. I don't care for fluffy dogs, but I would follow one to a tree, through ANYTHING. You called em creme puffs, not me.

Thank you for an entertaining sit on a slow day on the deer stand.
I admire your willingness to stand up for what you believe in mr swamp. I wish I didn't live so far away. I'd come let your dogs punish me, but one thing you're wrong about is I wouldn't quit em. Because I love the struggle of rough country. I love a challenge. Sweating and bleeding, well that's just part of it around here. Just like where you are. Good day sir.


Posted by swamp1 on 10-09-2017 04:21 AM:

No offense taken. I've hunted with all kinds of dogs,good ones, bad ones, mediocre ones of about all breeds. All I'm saying is if there's one person that hasn't left dog out,their a rare person. Everyone is not a garmin wizard,some cannot afford them and when dog goes out of hearing on a deer in right place.what you gonna do? Man said they crossed highway I believe.they didn't get hit by car,didn't go hungry,weren't abandoned. It happens, sometimes. Man did what he felt was best he could under conditions and everything worked out. Wonder how many have ever lost a dog for any number of reasons, even theft with collars on them,it happens.I know personally.

punish, did you say punish?Lol. The only punishment there is in hunting around here is going to some of these comp hunts and enduring them is far worse than any hell hole. I'm sure young man if we ever by chance go hunting it would be a blast from the past and would be enjoyed greatly. I can tell by your attitude you have a great desire to hunt and enjoy it a lot no matter what the terrain is. I would do my best to keep up. Good hunting to you and be careful out there, God Bless

I always get my dogs , whether it's right away or when daylight hits when in bad stuff. Either way they stay treed I don't need to rush in there. I've left them treeing over 8 hours in some real bad stuff until sunrise when I could see better. I really don't see what the big deal is. If someone wants to tone theirs in so be it. To each their own . Have had to leave some out on occasion over the years. Really don't see why it should matter to the next person. I'm not calling or toning mine in off a tree, whatever timeframe it takes for me to get to them they better be there unless the game we are pursuing decides to leave.
