Can't wait to see some pix in the woods too! FUNNY about the camera... must be a LIGHTFOOT thing... camera issues that is...
Give Blitz a BIG pat from me... I still love her head... and the rest of her...the other hounds are not too bad either

HappyHunting, Hope season is GOOD! Heather

Larry, sounds like a pretty good start to the hunting season. I'm glad to hear that your hounds are doing good. Especially one in particular. LOL Maybe one of these days I will get in your part of the country and get to see one of those bear races in person. Take care and keep that tradition in the woods for many years to come.

WE STARTED THIS ONE OFF THE BAIT WITH BLITZ & CROOK. THEY WENT OUT GOOD AND CAUGHT UP WITH HIM FAIRLY QUICK (I WAS NOT RUNNING JESS SHE WAS ON INJURED RESERVE LIST). DAD ADDED MY BROTHERS CLYDE DOG AND HIS FANNY DOG. BLITZ & CROOK CROSSED THE PAVED ROAD BEHIND US. CLYDE AND FANNY WHERE A WAYS BEHIND SO WE REPLACED THEM WITH TWO OF MY BROTHERS PUPS OUT OF HIS GUNNER DOG .THEY CROSSED THE ROAD THREE MORE TIMES IN FRONT OF US {THE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW US TO DISCHARGE FIRE ARMS FROM PAVED ROAD}. THE FORTH TIME HE CAME INTO THE PAVED ROAD HE WAS BARLEY GOING. BLITZ , CROOK AND THE BEAR ALL IN THE ROAD RIGHT NEXT TO A FEW HOUSE'S AGAIN WITH NO SHOT FOR THE HUNTER. MY BROTHERS TWO PUPS HAD FALLEN BEHIND AND WE THEN REPLACED THEM WITH BONNY AND CLYDE. HE WENT AROUND THE END OF THE MOUNTAIN AND HELD UP IN THE ROCKS SURROUNDED BY THE FOUR LIGHTFOOT HOUNDS. (GOTTALOVEM) THAT WAS ALL HE COULD STAND HE MUST OF REALIZED THEN THAT HE HAD BEEN LIGHTFOOTED. HE DIDN'T GO OUT WITHOUT A FIGHT BLITZ HAD A BAD GASH IN HER FLANK & CROOK HAD ANOTHER ONE ON HIS FRONT SHOULDER WHICH IS GOING TO PUT THEM ON THE I.R.L TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY FOR ME OF THE FIRST WEEK OF THE AND IT LOOKS LIKE JESS IS OFF THE LIST & BACK IN THE LINE UP WITH BONNIE AND CLYDE AND MY PUP LIGHTFOOT BLUE CRUIZ. MONDAY WE RAN A BIG BEAR FOR 9.5 MILES .TUESDAY 180 LBDER TO TREE 6.5 MILES. WEDNESDAY BLITZ AND JESS STRUCK ANOTHER BIG BEAR OFF THE TOP OF FOSTER RIDGE AND RAN TILL NOON I'M NOT SURE OF THE MILEAGE I CLEARED THE INFO ON MY GARMIN BY ACCIDENT. TODAY RAN THE 195LB BOAR INTO THE ROCKS AND I'M DAM TIRED BUT I WON'T SLEEP FOR CRAP TONIGHT THINKING ABOUT WHAT ADVENTURE THE LIGHTFOOT HOUNDS WILL LEAD ME INTO TOMORROW LIKE I HAVE SAID BEFORE GOTTALOVEM. HERE ARE A FEW PICS FROM TODAY I'LL POST SOME MORE THIS WEEKEND. LARRY

THE BEAR ON THE BAIT



HAPPY HUNTER


SCOTT, DAD & LIGHTFOOT BONNIE ME WITH BLITZ MY SON WITH THE DOG HE CALLS HIS CROOK ,BRANDON WITH CLYDE AND THE HUNTER'S


ME PUTTING A SHIRT ON BLITZ SO TO KEEP THE WOUND CLEAN ON THE WAY OUT I ENDED UP JUST CARRYING HER OUT OF THE WOODS ON MY SHOULDERS SHE DIDN'T COMPLAIN A BIT

Now your rolling Larry. Nice Bear.

Blitz looks like a boxer who just got done with a heavyweight fight, and her manager is putting her robe on her. If you keep spoiling her like that, she's gonna expect you to carry out of the woods every time. LOL. Great job.

P.S. I will put Blitz' registration papers in the mail to you tomorrow.

and pix.
When I saw the first picture of the group I was SO dissapointed to see Blitz's gorgeous head with an obstructed view! Then I got to see her head... and ALL dressed up too! Glad she wasn't hurt worse. Of course you've ruined her and she'll have to go piggyback everywhere!
Take care of her and give her a good pat from me... tell her I said Good Job Girl!
Happyhunting Heather

Bob will get to see this later and I anticipate a Thumbs up!

Bet she was MAD she didn't get to go chase down another one yet!

Glad she's feeling GOOD and hoping she heals quickly... nothing worse than a BORED coonhound!

Keep having FUN, Heather
