As I was going through the new Bloodlines, I was looking at the new degrees. Low and behold, there was GR. NITE CH. Snyders Deathrow Joe. Reminds me of the Rosie female Chris and Aaron Wade had. Dead before she made print.

Didn't he do well down here at Southern Redbone Days this past year? Take care and hopefully you will find another one as good.

Chris, Joe

I hate to hear that. Chris I still tell people about the time you and Wade made the trip down to Darrin's and ole Joe made it over one of the tightest woven wire fences we have in our parts through the country and had the meat.

He definitely had the sic um in him.


I think Maitlands wife will tell you that he slimmed down some since following ole Tripod

Keep them red.

I never got to hunt with Tripod but it sounds like he would have been my kind of dog.For the last 12 or so years I have always said heart is the biggest weakness in the breed.You can get 1 to run and tree easy enough but to get 1 that will get through the country byhimself while you set on the tailgate is rare.I'm sorry about your loss.Dogs with heart likeTripod,and Pete just dont come along everyday.Hope to see ya at US days.

Sorry for your loss. Comeing from an english guy this dog made me want to buy a redbone. I hunted against him a couple times and he was a special dog. I was on one of the cast he won to become Nt.Ch. Cast was never close. He could get away from every body and get under a coon. And like Chris you either found him under a tree or you didnt find him at all.

I actually got a lump in my throat reading some of the posts.

A couple nights I'll always remember from Joe:

Last February down at Ricky Jayroe's, while coonhuntin' on the Peedee River, Joe struck a fast track and lined almost out of hearing quick. We all said Uh-Oh. Well we found him three miles away and across two channels of the river bayed on a 250# wild hog. He had him backed up to a big cypress stump pullin' hair for over an hour by himself. Kevin Shelley took a flat bottom boat into the swamp to get him. Ricky shot the hog twice.

Then Saturday night in North Carolina I'll never forget him rolling through the country and falling treed. We drove around the section several times trying to get to him and could never find a good spot to go in. Well to make a long story short we walked a couple miles into the tree and crossed a nasty beaver pond to get to him. We found him split treed from a walker bitch from some other cast after nearly 3 hours of being treed. My light was dead and I flat wore out the other three guys. I had to practically drag them the last 100 yards to get to the tree and my light was stone dead. I had to turn my light off for 10 minutes to build up enough juice to flash the tree one time. He had the meat and won Southern Nationals that night. PS. The walker was slick.

I'll also never forget the night he swam the Wisconsin river and treed a coon about 1/2 mile out on an island in a Grand Nite cast. In that stretch the Wisconsin River is as wide as the Mississippi. We had to steal/borrow a boat to go to him. He had the meat. A very wet and scared raccoon.

And just a few weeks ago up north I cut him loose to run around the yard at my cabin. He disappeared and my cell phone rang about an hour later. He was walking a bear thru the fire warden's yard about 2 miles away. The guy caught him up and was visibly shaken to find that the bear had chewed his leg off and he was still hanging with him.

And last but not least, to earn his 5th Nt.Ch. win, he scored 1100+, no minus. He treed one more coon after the hunt was up and I laid back on 1 or 2 trees. On that cast we had about 3 or 4 split trees. On one of them Joe and Scott Shaw's nice female were having sword fights with their tails under two coons about 10 feet apart. A clear split. Scotts bitch had 1000 points that night as well.

There are many more memorable nights but these are just a few. I loved the dog like I owned him all his life. If your life depended on treeing one coon in the Sahara desert, Joe was the dog you want on the end of your lead. And yes Chris, you're right, there's only one thing to do about it now. RELOAD!

Thanks everyone for the thoughts.

Sorry to hear of Joe's death. Had the pleasure of hunting with him at southern nationals on thursday night. One heck of a dog, we walked quite a bit that night, but Joe had the meat and won our cast. I'm glad I had the opportunity to see such a nice hound go and do what he loved to do. Hang in there maitland.

I too never got to hunt with Joe but I did see him in person once at a hunt up here in Wisconsin. If I could say anything about him is if a dog has only one hind leg and can still run and tree coons better than a lot of 4 legged dogs, than he must have had one hell of a heart. Just imagine what he could have done with 4 legs. I felt like crying when I read this post. First thing I thought when I read the post title was that Old Pete passed on but I just about crapped myself when it was Joe. Take care Maitland and Red Cedar.

Real sorry Chris and Joe. I know he was special to both of you guys. Heck he was special to all that got to see him do his thing.
Real sorry, don't really know what to say right now.
He could of helped the breed I'm sure.
He is surely going deep now, in hound heaven. Some old coonhunter up there is fixing to hear a treedog, take a long walk, and look at a coon.
Hope their's pups out of him.
Darrin

I drew Joe last fall at Troy Ia. Arron Wade was handling him. 3 dog cast. My dog and the other dog (bluetick) treed after be loose about 2or3 minutes. After scoring the tree he heard Joe treed in the spot we were going to go to next. After pulling him out from under a coon and getting back to the truck, the guy with the blue dog was throwing-up and sayed that he did'nt care if he had 1500+ if joe did that again he was going to with draw. I will never for get that.

Hopfuly old Joe will reproduce just alittle of that. I am proud to say that I got the privlage to hunt with such a fine hound!!!!!!!
