Dustin,
Thanks for the compliments. I love seeing those big boys(dandys) you guys run up north. The toms are for sure a bonus, but I love to see any cat in the tree with the dogs(young and old) doing their job to put them there.
In the late 80's my dad and a friend of his took a tom that weighed 188 lbs. empty. He was right around 7 ft. long. The green score on the skull was just over 16 inches. He was an amazing cat to look at, one I will never forget.


Everyone,
Thanks for looking, and thanks for the nice compliments. We definitely enjoy chasing our blue dogs around. We enjoy all of the pics that other people post of their hunts, and we hope that everyone enjoys our pics!!
Have a blessed new year!!
Happy Hunting!!!

Our dogs are mostly old Smokey River bred, there was some Edisto River mixed in in the later years of my dads breeding program. We started 10 years ago with a couple females from my dads line and added from there. We have crossed on mostly O.S.R. blood.

Hi Darlene and Clint, What a season you are having!!! Beautiful pictures!! Those two young males sure look good on that tree. Is Lucky out of Dixie? Is he the lighter colored dog? I am getting along well. I havent been in the wheel chair for three days now. Cant wait to get back in the woods with hounds! Bill

are full brothers out of Catie & Rocket. Catie is Dixies mother, also. Lucky is the lighter and Lager is dark. They are doing a nice job, for sure. We are having a great season for our area. It has been an awesome ride!! But for now, we are resting. When we treed this last tom, the snow was past marginal and the temp. was 50. I will get some more pics and the story on here soon. Bill, I am glad you are rid of that wheel chair. Hope you are roaring around again, SOON!!!
Heather, as always, thank you for your sweet comments!!!

The 1st day we started this cat with some young dogs, and things went slow in the rocks at first, but then out around the mountain they went. We were able to get around on a ridge above them and got to listen to the race. They ran him for a few miles and treed, but then things blew up, and the dogs advanced to the west about another mile, and some dogs were out of hearing. Over the next couple hours, one by one they started heading back in the direction we turned loose, and we picked up all but 2 dogs that night and headed home. Next morning we walked in the "A" team thinking that whatever hung up the young dogs, the "A" team could work through it. The dogs flew out of there and within a half hour were out of hearing. I snowmobiled around and could hear them plain. They sounded hung up, so Clint & I walked in to them, and this is what we found.


Rocket was hung up on this cliff slide area. Dixie and Lager were still circling to try to pick up the track. Down to the left in the bottom of the rivine is a sink hole, and that is where the lion escaped. Clint made a big circle and tried to pick up the lion track leaving, but he hadn't. The next day we left him alone, and treed one of the females. We went looking for his track leaving on day 4. My dad found his track crossing the road in some elk tracks about a mile NW. We put Lucky and Lager down, and after a slow start and potty breaks, they fogged it outa there, over the ridge, and through the next deep canyon, and up the other side, and treed. After snowmobiling around getting above them, things blew up and around and up the valley out of hearing they went. After a few minutes, here they come again and treed again not far from where they were treed the 1st time. I'm sure there were more sink holes in the area, but he didn't get to use one this time. A local kid that is a senior in high school was there to shoot him. He is jacked!!! The cat weighed 167 lbs. and was 7'4 1/2" long.



This cat was missing one of his canines, and a couple small teeth between the canines. Enjoy!!!

Big Sky Blue Rip & Rattler

Rip

This next female was treed by Lucky, Lager, and Rip. I didn't get a picture of them. I took this 1st pic from up the hill. The guys ran down to grab the dogs, and I took the second pic of the cat leaving the downfall. The cat ran by me only 3 ft away after I snapped the pic. Way cool!!!
