Big Country Blueticks

Donny Walston and Chris Powell have teamed up to promote a couple of Blueticks that we are pretty proud of. Donny raised Walstons Blue Big Country from a pup. We call him Bimbo. He is out of top bred hounds. He is direct son of Bocephus. Mr Robert Shelton bred his bitch Shelton's Cotton Oxy to produce the litter Bimbo came from.

Bimbo is 72 lbs if heart and desire. He comes out if the box on the last drop the same as the first. Donny and I have tried to wear him out. It doesn't stay dark long enough. He has a huge mouth and a locate that will leave an impression on the hard to please.
We will use this thread to keep you updated on our hunts.

Bimbo has big motor to match that big mouth. It seems to be a family tradition among these Bocephus pups. Steve Bankstons Bo has a big motor and mouth to match as well as the Casey Bigelows Zero dog. This is an exciting line of dogs that are fun to hunt.

CHRIS AND I ARE VERY EXCITED FOR WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR THESE TWO HOUNDS. TEAMING UP WITH CHRIS WAS A VERY EASY DECISION FOR ME TO MAKE, FOR THE FACT THAT WE ARE LIKE MINDED WHEN IT COMES TO OUR EXPECTATIONS OF A COONHOUND. MEDIOCRE ABILITY IS NOT SOMETHING WE ARE WILLING TO LIVE WITH. WE BOTH LIKE THESE DOGS AS GOOD AS ANYTHING WE HAVE OWNED OR HUNTED WITH. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME FUN!

BIMBO IS THE CLOSEST THING TO A TOTAL PACKAGE FROM TAILGATE TO TREE THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED. HE POSSESSES ALL THE TRAITS THAT I REQUIRE IN A HOUND AND IS A PURE PLEASURE TO HUNT. THE FEW TIMES WE HAVE HAD HIM OUT IN PUBLIC WE RECEIVED A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS. HE WILL GET YOUR ATTENTION DURING THE DAY AND AT NIGHT.

IF YOU FOLLOWED CHRIS'S THREAD ON JAZZ FROM WHEN SHE WAS A PUP TO PRESENT TIME, YOU UNDERSTAND WHY WE ENJOY HER SO MUCH. I'M 35 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH COONHUNTING SINCE I COULD KEEP UP WALKING, AND JAZZ IS THE NICEST 1 YEAR OLD I'VE PERSONALLY BEEN TO THE WOODS WITH. CONFIDENT, ACCURATE, QUICK-LOCATING TREE DOG ARE A FEW WORDS I WOULD USE TO DESCRIBE HER. SHE HAS WON HER CAST A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THE TIME AND IS JUST GETTING STARTED.

NEITHER OF THESE DOGS ARE PERFECT AND DO NOT WALK ON WATER, BUT WE SURE DON'T MIND BUYING PRO PLAN FOR THEM. COME GO HUNTING WITH US SOMETIME!

BIMBO and JAZZ

Congrats on teaming up! Yaw have two fine hounds and I enjoyed hunting with both of them. These two hounds are everything Chris and Donnie say they are and couldn't be owned by any better men. Honesty and Class all the Way, The Hounds and the Men. Good Luck with them, yaw will do Well, Take Care and Good Hunting!

Great Weekend For Big Country Blues

Probably not the smartest thing in the world and if somebody wanted us to work we would have immediately said "don't you think it's too hot?" But Donny and I, loaded up as our wives looked at us like we were crazy and headed to the RQE in Bryant, IN at the Limberlost Club.

As we passed through downtown Brookville on our 3 hour trip North the sign on the bank read 100 degrees even. I had soaked the Jazz and Bimbo down good before I put them in the box but that was an hour ago. I needed to stop for fuel and we bought two bags of ice and put one in with each dog. Blueticks on Ice probably won't be the title of a Disney Ice Skating show or an horderve at a fancy restaurant any time soon but I sure keeps them cool.

There were 28 dogs entered to make a run at qualifying. I looked around the parking lot and saw quite a few blue dogs. I joked with Donny and said you tell it was late in the season because the Blueticks were still trying to get qualified.

When we went to the woods at 10:30 my weather app showed 88. Humidity was high in sharp contrast to my level of intelligence. Donny went north to Decatur and I was hunting local. Temps in the cornfields had to be close to or 100+. The heat affected the dogs but Donny and I both packed water and were ready to pull the plug and withdraw if we needed to.

Jazz took control of our cast early. She split with a coon and had a 1/1. The other dogs circled up. One dog was scratched for fighting. Band the rest circled up. In the heat I was trying to play good defense. The other dogs took some minus and Jazz scored on another coon. One of the dogs treed a grinner. With 30 minutes left I had more than a 1 coon lead. Last drop I took a 1'strike and waited for 2 tree and we found the coon.

At the end of the hunt Jazz had 325+. Good enough for a qualification and her 1 st NC win.

Donny came rolling in to the clubhouse and I saw he was holding the card. We had done it. Travelled over 3 hours and both won our casts to qualify for the world. This win would also finish Bimbo to Nite Champion Walstons Blue Big Country. My longtime Plott Buddies nicknamed us the "Two Blue Wrecking Crew". Kinda has a ring to it.

The drive home was rough. Even after the wins the 3.5 hour drive was a challenge. We made it in as the sun was not quite breaking the horizon but the birds were telling us it was coming.

Thanks everyone.

I wasn't sure if anyone would want to read this stuff or not Lol!

We have had inquiries about Bimbo and stud plans. Donny and I talked and are not real interested in a "public" stud dog right now. If there was an exceptional female that was to be bred we would consider something.

We are in this for fun. We really would like to network with other Bocephus/Rambo II enthusiasts and make a splash.

Thanks for reading our stories.

wins

Chris and Donnie
congrats to you and Donnie on your wins. good luck in the up coming events. take care Dave

THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE KIND WORDS. LAST WEEKEND WAS DEFINITELY NOT THE SMARTEST THING I'VE DONE RECENTLY BUT IT ENDED UP PAYING OFF. DESPITE THE LESS THAN IDEAL CONDITIONS BIMBO DID WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO TO SECURE A CAST WIN AND FINISH TO NITE CHAMPION AND GET QUALIFIED. TIME TO START GETTING READY AND PREPARED FOR THE ZONES. I JUST HOPE I'LL BE ABLE TO HANDLE HIM WHEN THE TIME COMES. MY WIFE IS DUE WITH OUR THIRD CHILD RIGHT AROUND THE SAME TIME.

CAME ACROSS A VIDEO THAT I THOUGHT I'D POST THAT WAS RECORDED WHEN BIMBO WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT 13-14 MONTHS OLD. JUST TO GIVE AN IDEA OF WHAT HE SOUNDS LIKE. ITS HIM STRIKING A TRACK, LOCATING, AND TREEING. HOPEFULLY PHOTOBUCKET COOPERATES.

Donnie/Rowdy

Congrats on wins & good luck down the road. No luck watching video, photobucket don't work worth a crap anymore. Take care, Ron

Planned cross

All right sports fans, Jazz is in heat right now. If we crossed her on Bimbo who wants one? They would be born around the 1st of Nov making them perfect Fall Super Stakes pups. If there is interest, I'll book six. We are keeping 6 and at least one is headed to Tennessee.

You can check out Jazz and Bimbo on out Big Country Blueticks group page.

One male pup remains

Bob Moffett will have a dog hauler picking up his pup on Monday evening. The route will go from the west side on Cincinnati up to the Erie Pennsylvania area. Make me a reasonable offer on this pup and we can get him a ride with "Little Bob.
Text 812-584-7402 for pictures and info.

Still have a very nice male pup available from Bimbo and Jazz. This is a choice pup that has been well taken care of and acts great. Ready for a new home.

Despite the freezing rain, spitting snow, and temperatures dropping in the mid 20's I decided to cut Bimbo loose right from the house last night. I expected the coons would not be moving during this streak of bad weather, but I like making a hound work sometimes to get one on a limb. I was confident enough in Bimbo to get treed somewhere with a coon in under 10 minutes that I bet Chris everything in my wallet, knowing full well I only had 3 dollars. Chris reluctantly agreed knowing full well that with a new house and 3 young kids there was no way I was packing much of a back pocket. Bimbo hit the holler like he was late for work and I starting watching the yards click off on the Garmin as Chris was keeping an eye on the stopwatch. When it was all said and done Bimbo had covered a distance of 1.2 miles in southeastern Indiana hill country to get one treed. I lost the bet due to the fact it took him 16 minutes to get it done, but nevertheless was impressive. His average speed on the Garmin showed him moving at 5.8 mph.

I have no idea yet how this dog is going to reproduce but if your looking for a big motor, drive, heart, and guts this dog has enough for three. He is the most complete package I have ever owned in a hound all across the board. Quite possibly my true once in a lifetime hound that came around at the worst time in my life. If any of this interests you, and you have a nice coon treeing female your thinking about breeding get a hold of us. We will try and work with you the best we can to get it done. Thanks!
