Well its mistin' rain here. Don't know if I'm into gettin' wet and chilly. Keepin' dry sounds good, but it don't help the young dogs any. Think I'll set a live trap and see what happens.

Sounds like a pretty decent night Rex. I went down to Olney last night to a wrestling match, Charleston did ok lost by 2 matches both teams had a lot of Rookie Freshman.. Made for some pretty good matches, it was rainy and foggy the whole way down. Just took my time, My Boy Jack is still riding the pine with a shoulder injury and he may be for a good while as it is not healing real well. Might have to mix him up some emergency dog muscle healing stuff. I'm afraid he got a separated shoulder instead of a sprain as trainer thinks.

Being a old coach and seen lots of injuries don't like the way its healing. Vacation coming up Dec23 - Jan 2 boy needs to be right to lead that Bluetick and carry coon..LOL

Tony, I am not sure I would call that Goat Obama as he might hit you rear end you when you are not looking. Wait isn't that what Obama is doing to us all...LOL

Mike Bill Chuck have a good day.

Nothing down here TD. Cloudy and 45 degrees. Just got back from having lunch with my wife. Sure is busy downtown. Looks like a big city with the traffic. What is going up there? You say you didn't see any squirrels out today?

I haven't seen one around here. I don't know what they are doing. Deer are plentiful in the pasture and haven't seen any Turkeys.

It dropped on me twice yesterday. Last night about 8:30PM sitting on the couch and all of sudden I felt funny. My wife jumped up and got my meter and it was down to 51. I don't know what is going on with it. It has me scared enough now not to go anywhere. So far it has been running in the 120-140 today. I sure don't understand it. Need to get out and start hunting but I can't take the mud around here in the bottoms. I will have to wait for it to dry up or freeze. Which ever come first.

You guys have a geat post going. Are any of ya'll coming to the Grand American? I hunted in shirtsleeves last night. Stayed busy but I was embareassed myself with my female treeing on a empty palmetto tree obvious. Then two iffy live oaks, I broke a palmetto frond over her though cause they should have been looking. Then a downrite hollow that would not suck the smoke. But i had 2 of mine I took almost out of hearing to cast from the marsh runners i left and they did not get on a coon and came back in about 45 minuites and made me Happy. If you come to the Grand , give me a call, we can pleasure hunt. Ya'll sound like fun. Also I need to hear some good dogs run>

Morning guys. Sorry about your bad hunts. I thought last night they would have been running good. Maybe they are waiting for this rain to move in. Hi! Lyle. We have a good time on this thread. Can get deep some but we all laugh and have fun. Everyone have a good day.

Thanks for Invite, it is to far for me to travel, Tony and i are just pleasure hunters and go to competions once in a while.Often to just spectate and see dogs that we might like to get pups out of. I especially like to see good dog work.We enjoy our club as we have a good group and the Bull runs deep...LOL

Thanks Jeff
