Our hunt with Sadie
Well, we finally had the opportunity to go hunt with John's Sadie pup via GrNtCh Main Street Slam x Fatty last night. She's a smaller, stocky built, tri color female that looks a lot like John Ferrari's old Blue Magic Gold female and has a unique mouth similar to her mother's but higher pitched.
We met up with John Sail, Justin "Bubba" Newsome, and Jerry Webb at Mr. Webb's farm just North of Metter, Ga in Twin City. Jerry was hunting a nice Walker male named Crockett and Bubba was hunting his Rinky Dink, a Walker male off of Slow Talking Blaze.
The first drop we cast them and all dogs struck quick (striking order was a calling contest), Crockett and Sadie loaded up treed only 150 yards or so in the branch as Dink trailed away from them. Sadie is a pretty nice tree dog. She chews a bit here and there, but on the whole she's pleasent to listen to. Anywho, we made it in to the first tree and found them on a Den. I searched the outside over pretty good with high hopes, but no coon was to been seen. Circle em up. About that time, Bubba said Dink was nearing a main highway around 600 yards away. We pulled around to cut him off only to find him treed on a fence in the woods.. Tough luck Dink. Minus points.
Drop two.... Sadie took a 2nd strike here and they DROVE a track down the Branch. About 600 yards later, Sadie came treed with a commanding locate.. I couldn't help my self as I said aloud, "Tree Sadie!". Everyone laughed as the other dogs piled in behind her... We walked to the tree to find them split. Sadie and Crockett were on one tree and Dink was behind them about 50 yards. Bubba handled Dink, us Sadie and Crockett. It Ended up that Dink had the coon and Sadie and Crockett were on a big ol slick oak tree. Minus Sadie and Crockett and Plus up ol Dink.
Drop three.. Again, Sadie took another 2nd and the dogs powerd down the branch 800 yards to get treed. Sadie took 2nd tree this time. We drove around to them to find them yet again split. Dink was several hundred yards away this time though. We Shined Sadie and Crockett's tree first. No luck was had until John pulled the magic vine on the tree that made the coon look. Plus em up. We pulled around to Dink's tree and had a moderately easy walk to another tree with a coon. Dink was on a roll and plus him up again.
That concluded our hunt. John said he felt real bad Sadie wasn't getting the hunting like she should be, and that lately she's only been getting 1 night a week of hunting for the past several months. We talked about getting her down here to be hunted and he said he'd stew on it. Sadie actually "belongs" to his son, so letting her leave the house for a few weeks to be hunted may not be such an easy thing to do as we originally thought.
I liked what I saw out of Sadie for the most part. She was pretty action packed from what I could tell. I'd really like to see her after several nights in a row of hunting alone.
