Last night, Frank and Zam made history for us. He finished Zam to NITECH with two 1sts and a 2nd. This is Frank and I's first NITECH since we started in this 11 yrs. ago. Zam will be my 1st NITECH as a breeder, since I bred and raised the litter, he gave his sire and dam their first NITECH.

When Frank got in an hour before deadline, I thought crap, oh well, we will wait for next year. He put Zam away, came in, took off all his hunting gear and came into sit on the bed. I said Bad night? He said Yeah it was crappy.....BUT your dog is now a NITECH and threw the win slip at me. I almost passed out, the shock rendered me SPEECHLESS and that is saying something, for everyone who knows me, I LOVE to talk, lol.

The funny thing with Zam is, you don't really have to hunt him. He can be laid up all winter, go out and tree 3 coon, when you do take him out. He doesn't usually get hunted from 1 hunt to the next, Frank loads him up and they go tree coon. One thing he is very good at is keeping his mouth shut until he almost is ready to tree and he loves to split tree and he has the coon. I'm not bragging, well ok, a little, but this dog is a smart dog. He will be 7 yrs. old in March. I hope to get a few more pups from him, before he passes on. The ones he has on the ground now are doing a great job at 5 mos. old.

Frank and Lori.It sure is a great feelin' ain't it?I find that whenever I pick up a win like that,I can't even sleep-I get so pumped up.Now all you gotta do is put 5 more win slips in your hand.Best of luck to you both in your endeavours.

Thanks all. Yes, I dreamed about it all night and the first thing I did this morning was grab the win slip to make sure it wasn't just a dream. 2 firsts and a second, wow, who needs drugs when you can a high like this.

Thats what he says. We have his daughter here to get going, so there will be 1 for each of us to hunt. Him in nitech and me in reg. Emmmm....better lose about 50 lbs. afore I do that, I doubt I would make it more then 10 ft. then I'd been standing there trying to catch my breath. Course smoking doesn't help neither.

Wayne, I did redo the post and added a picture of his daughter out of Autumn that we just took yesterday. She is the splitting image of Autumn and built like her too.
