I think you all misunderstood what he was calling as Old Timers, I don't think he meant what you all are talking about. I think he was talking about guys that use to post on here for years but have not been as active as of late.

You got it right as usual Hobo old timers and old time posts not talking about garmins and shockers and lights they all are great for the sport and wish ever one owned the best of each.

Alot of hunters are always talking about the old blood in their dogs i would just like to see more of the old blood posts return to the forums but i doubt that will ever happen.

You had to know what the dog was doing by his voice and then listen or guess where it might cross a road and try to get there to stop him. If you missed and he got away the next step was go home and wait for the phone to ring. Sometimes it never did. I'll take my Alpha over that any day!!!
The days of Wheat lights and Wick froglegs {sewed to the top of the boot} and you had to know how to read a magnetic compass, hunt with someone who did or get lost a lot. Most dogs could quickly figure out that if they shut up and ran they could get out of range of the old shock collars. I don't know if I would call them "the good ole' days" or not....does hunting in those times make you one of the old timers?????
I remember when a Wheat light with the "brighter bulb" was top line...now our walking lights are brighter than that!!!!
It's funny, the things that never change...like guys that wont admit their dogs run junk.

John you mention the Nite Light. I saw the ads every month inside the back cover of the Cooner if I remember right. I finally paid $49.95 and got me one. Worked great for about 3 years. I then was bragging on it one night at the start of a hunt and it quit working. Another lesson learned about bragging on stuff.

You had to know where the favorite deer crossings were so you could try and ambush those trashy suckers and head them off.

When I first started coon hunting as a kid, I carried a kerosene lantern and a flashlight for shining trees, an old Ray O Vac Sportsman.

When I got my first Nite Light I was on top of the world.

I think that I am probably legally retarded now. If I wasn't already collecting Social Security, I would apply for disability. My memory is even worse. I can remember what happened 50 yrs ago but I can't remember what happened yesterday. (But that doesn't stop me from posting)

Jim Sizemore had thec answer to any question you wish to ask about any rule in the rule books.
Joe Newlin had the answer about any question you had about Clover dogs and Genetics in general.

Elvis had the answer about how to win any word hunt and has hunted dogs for Russ Bellar the man ever coon hunter envies world hunt winners after word hunt winners.

John Wick wrote three books that could not yesterday or today or tomorrow tell you more about how to train a coon hound than he did in those books but he can speak up and these young bee line hunters i call them will try to shoot him down in a second.

Tom Hopkins can speak up about the Lipper dogs and 20 people will be on him like stank on s*** before he can Say TWO words like they know more about the Lipper dogs than he does.

No wonder ever one is going to Face Book for there are about 10 people on this forum that has the answer to ever thing and they can't agree on nothing.LOL.
I remember when i was 25 or 30 years old i thought there was no one out there that knew more about dogs than i did but the older i got the dummer i became for the harder it was for a dog to please me and i now feel stupid for thinking i was smart back then for the older i get the more i learn how little i knew back 30 years ago and now my time is running out and i don't have time to learn it all over again.JMO.
