Thank Yall! She had the cast won last night until the last few minutes... The winning dog got through the country alone under a Ricky and that pretty much finished the hunt out.

The dog's name was Legs owned by Mark Brown and he was a coon treer. He won with 400+.. If he hadnt been alone with the meat we would have won with +225

My wife and I had a great time up in Madison! I had three good casts of hounds and handlers and we scored a total of 8 coon combined on our casts. I made some great memories and I plan on attending next year!

Cutter's Cold Blue Steel

I put Fattys littermate brother, Steel, in his first hunt last night and we won the cast with +225. He picked up a 1st place win! One down two to go!

Counting down the days!

Fatty is growing day by day folks.. I got a good look at her Sunday night and She's doubled in size since Southern English Days. She's definitely bred so now all we're praying for is the litter to be healthy and for her to not have any complications.. Should only be about 15 days or so left!!

Also, if you wanted to be on the stand by list... PLEASE re establish contact with me so I can know who is serious and who isnt. I feel like she will have a 10+ size litter based off of her size, so we will have a few open slots for pups I believe. My contact info is listed in my signature or you can click the link below and get the information from the cross and my contact number... Thanks again.

Had another good night of hunting. Steel went 1 for 2 with a massive den tree and i broke out my GrNtCh Whip for some excercise. He also treed a den. Big Booty Judy (Main St Slam x Fatty) treed her first coon tonight with Steel on her probably 10th trip to the woods this year. She's for sale if anyone is interested...Im havin fun hunting these English dogs. We're just enjoying the ride!

We're hosting an RQE in a month... Im hoping to qualify Steel and make a trip back to the Zones!

Countdown to Puppies....and other news

As the days get closer to Fatty having pups, Zac and myself are getting more and more excited. Zac has been pretty busy with work and hasn't gotten to go to the woods with me as often as he'd like, but I've talked to him for a few minutes every day this week and he says poor ol Fatty is about to bust! Based off of Fatty's last gestation period, we should expect her to hold these pups about 61 days. That puts her birthing them on April 20th, 2016. That's only 7 days!!

Zac and myself have went back and forth trying to decide where to raise them at since we knew she concieved. I've got a nice huge brood pen here at my place with all the fixings including lights, a fan, and even a "mister" for when it's super hot outside, and also an automatic waterer. We talked about building him a duplicate or even one similar, but we both agreed for his and my own sanity that they be raised just like he did the last one... in his house lol.

In other news, I took ol Steel out for a hunt with John Shuman on Monday night. John is from Stilson, Ga and is a real nice fellow. He has several nice bred females at his place including bitches off of Big River Dan, Jesse Lee, and Merrit's Woody. He also has a little male pup off of Awesome that's a looker too and his Dan female, Amber, had just birthed her own litter of pups via Scott Merrit's Woody dog and they were some fine looking pups!

We hunted Steel, his 6 month old Woody female, and his Awesome pup. We had a less than stellar hunt lol. Steel treed him a grinner (his first with me), ran a little junk with those pups, but he did manage to get treed on a nice den tree.

After that catastrophe of a hunt, John and I parted ways and I took Steel back to my hunting grounds for a little one on one time. He went 0-2 on two more dens. Coon really just didn't seem to be doing a whole lot.

I'd been noticing Steel shaking his head as if his ears were bothering him for a few days. I finally took the notion to look at them and they were super inflammed and irritated. I used a home remedy of Apple cider vinegar to clean them out and it didn't seem to do much more than hurt him. I called the vet and set him up and appointment for this afternoon and carried him over there. The vet told me he had two types of bacteria and a yeast infection. I've got him now on his medication and hope it clears up pretty quick.

The plan was to carry him to Birchwood, TN this weekend to an RQE. I'm going to hunt him Friday night for a short hunt to see if he looks any better. If so, we'll pack up and ride. My buddy Garret Miles is supposed to be coming for a hunt this Friday too. He's got a nice Plott hound supposedly. We'll see how it goes!

the plot thickens!

We're in the final stretch here folks! Fatty has been officially moved inside Zac's house and she's living in high cotton now! lol. Should only be about 5 days left now... I'm so pumped I can't stand it! Zac is supposed to be taking a picture or two of her and posting them to show off her size lol.


I started the treatment of Steel's ears Wednesday and I can already tell a little bit of a difference in just one full day. I'm ready to hunt tonight and see how he does. I really do want to take that trip North to Tennessee to hunt the RQE...


Roger Odom, Rocky Tanner, and myself stumbled up on a female for sale down in Florida that really caught our attention. We're in the process of trying to get ahold of the seller as it seems he has fallen off the face of the Earth. She's a going four year old registered female off of GrNtCh Big River Dan x GrNtCh Covington's Sudden Sandy.. I hope we can get our hands on her, but if we can't... There will always be others.


A nice fella from around Moultrie, Georgia gave me a call yesterday afternoon in refrence to our Judy female that we have for sale. Judy is via GrNtCh Main Street Slam and our NtCh Fatty female. We talked for about thirty minutes and I invited him for a hunt. The tenative plan is for him to head this way today and pick her up. It'd sure be helpful to get her in the woods. We just have our hands full.


If any of you that read my mindless rambling are wondering about Ol' Ugly he's doing well. Seems like every day he is noticably growing and getting three shades of loud as heck lol. On our trip to Southern English Days, I picked up a bottle of Tucks Coon scent and have attempted to try and get him to tree on the scent with no luck. He will turn 14 weeks old on Monday so he's still got plenty of time. I will say however that I do have him treeing regular on his food bowl lol. I'm going to hold off on showing him the scent much more until he gets a little bit older. I always like to at least try with them at a super young age since I've had a good handful that would blow the top out of a tree at 10-12 weeks old believe it or not.

I'll let yall know how we do in the timber tonight!

update

I got a call from Zac this afternoon around 1 o'clock. He'd got to be out of town all day tomorrow and he asked if I'd stay around his place and keep an eye on Fatty, I of course agreed. She should be dropping pups any day now. If she took the first day she was bred, goes through the same gestation period as she did the first time, she'll be dropping pups tomorrow! She could drop them as soon as today though. None the less, I'm ready for them to get here!


I took Steel to a small local hunt up in Farmington, Ga. It was a cool 3 hour ride, but I wanted to put Steel in a hunt since I knew it'd be the last UKC hunt I would attend this month. We drew a 9 year old English Female and a 4 year old walker male. I was pretty certain we stood a good chance at winning the cast, but we lost. I got edged out of a tree call and took 1st and 2nd on a coon and was down by 25... I also treed Steel when I probably shouldn't have.. He was half heartdly treed and I booked him and he left.

I decided I'd take him out for a hunt on the grounds I'll be guiding to for our RQE coming up May 7th. I cast him on the first drop and he struck around 195 yards, just past the bucket. He ended up treed on a den about 800 yards but before I went to him, I checked and saw that there were two coon setting up around my bucket. My guess is he ran the track backwards..

Drop two I cast him again towards a feeder.. He struck around 100 yards and carried the track about a half a mile to tree on a huge oak. More Circle points

Drop 3 I cast him and he Struck and treed all in the same breath. I went to him and found him on a nice size oak, but it was pretty visible and I believe it was slick

Drop 4 I sent him down a big creek where he went .65 without a bark. a few minutes later he struck in that same area and loaded up treed. I went in to him and found his coon pretty quick, but then I realized I'd have to cross the creek. It's pretty deep and swift so safety was my main concern. I stripped off my jacket and vest and dove in. It was pretty chilly, but I got across to him and we swam back across.


All in all, it wasn't a terrible hunt. We've definitely got some work to do if we want to qualify him for the World Hunt though. Thanks for reading and Happy hunting!! I'll keep yall updated further when Fatty goes to dropping pups.

Fatty dropped her pups yesterday. She had 15 total with 3 still born. The remaining 12 seem to be doing well after the first day and Fatty is doing a great job with them. Im looking forward to watching these pups grow in the coming weeks

Ginger

Well we did it. Rocky Tanner finally talked the fella in Florida into letting us try out his Ginger female. Ginger is off of Big River Dan x Covington's Sudden Sandy and is supposed to be a coon tree'r. Roger Odom met the fella in Valdosta, Ga just a few hours ago and picked the ol girl up and boy she's a looker. Rocky, Roger, and myself will be partners on her if she makes it through the week trial. The plan is to go and pick her up on Monday from Roger and have her in the woods that night.



In other news, I talked with Zac today and Fatty as well as all 12 pups are doing great. We did an official sex count and we do in fact have 8 males and 4 females.



Females


Males

Well that just freakin sucks

Well, I've got some bad news....

I took off work tonight for a few hours to hunt a local hunt in Glennville. I guided the cast to my spots and we had a four dog cast. For some reason, the MOH chose a new comer to judge our cast that was packed with 3 other "handlers"..

The first drop Steel took 2nd and 1st right on the feeder bucket. The others treed accordingly. Plus them up. I was winning by 25+ with +200

We recast and they went several hundred yards to get treed... I took a 3rd and a 2nd on that one. Circle. While at that tree, there was a little "facebarking" going on from the walker female on the cast. I mentioned it, but nothing happened.

There was a dog still out opening, so we recast to that dog. I struck in and Steel got treed all pretty much in the same breath but I didn't tree him. Typically, when he has done that, he's either left or it's been a possom. I waited around and took last tree just as the tree time was expiring.They actually accused me of striking off of another dog! I got heated and that's where the trouble started but I didn't get minused.

As we were walking to the tree, I see Steel and the Walker female tied up at the base of the tree fighting. No one else "sees it" or so they later said, but the fighting noise is noted and we all charge in to the tree. At that point, Steel Hops back up on the tree and the Blue male and steel exchange words for a second then they tie up. When the whole cast arrives at the tree, Steel is towering over the blue male and they scratch Steel, and only Steel for fighting. Mind you, all of this took place in about 30 seconds.


Im pretty sure it wasn't Steel's fault, but I wish he'd have backed down. I guess he's one of those that once you put teeth in him, he's done? SO with that being said, Steel now has a scratch for fighting on him and that's the bad news.


I agree 100% that he should have been scratched, but three of us should have went out. Not just me. This is the first type of aggression I have EVER seen out of Steel and I hope he doesn't make it a habit.

Turn of Events

Good news this time!Well considering my last post, just about anything I have to say is good news lol. So here's the skinny...

Last Monday I took a trip South to meet Roger in Alma, Ga to pick up Mine, his, and Rocky's new female, Ginger. Ginger is the Big River Dan x Sudden Sandy female and she was just as nice looking in person as she was in the picture. I left from there and headed North to Rocky's which was about 2 and a half hours away.

We hunted Steel, Lola, and Gin. The first dump we cast them and they got deep. Steel treed first, Lola Second, and Gin treed 3rd about a minute after lola treed. Plus em.

Next, we cast Lola and Gin alone. They got in there deep without a bark when Lola basically just fell treed. Gin fell in right behind her. Circle em up

The 3rd drop we cut Gin alone and she went around 100 yards, got struck, and treed at about 300 on a den.

Drop 4 we cast Lola and Gin... Gin struck first and treed ahead of Lola on a questionable tree.. Rock and I both felt like it was slick, but you really couldn't shine the whole thing. We recast them off that tree and they got deep again. Gin struck first and treed first again. After a long walk through a briar thicket, we got to their tree and found them on another den.



Tuesday night me and Zac took a trip to my club and hunted Steel and Gin. We got a pleasent suprise....

Dump 1, we cast them down a branch off of a pond dam. Steel opened up once around 200 yards, and Gin wasn't making a sound. Gin struck and when she did, she was treed. We walked in to the tree about 300ish yards away and found the coon. She did a nice job on that lay up.

Drop 2 we cast them down the edge of another branch off of that same pond. Gin struck quick and treed 1st around 500 yards in. They were on a den tree, but we were clearly able to find the coon. Plus em.

On #3 We sent them down a huge creek where they again got struck quick Gin took another 1st and 1st on Steel and we walked in to find the coon.

We weren't terribly far from the truck, only around 400 yards, so I decided to Recast them. They looped around and Steel struck. Gin followed in. after a couple minutes of looping around Steel locked in treed. Gin tried to work away from the tree, but couldn't and covered steel. To our suprise, Steel had laid a coon up on Gin. Plus em.

The final drop is where Gin really showed her stuff. We cast them on the same large creek about a mile down, and Gin struck first. She drove that track so fast and hard that she treed about 45 seconds ahead of Steel. Plus em.


I was impressed with Gin and her ability to jam coon. She's a little more choppy on track than what I like, but if she continues to tree coon the way she did, I can tolerate a chop mouth lol. I can't wait to put her through more tests and see how she really holds up.

It's been a while...

Not a whole lot to keep yall up to date with thus far. I've not been in the woods as much as I'd hoped to this week due to the rain we've had. Starting last Sunday, it's rained every day at least a little until yesterday.

I took a trip out to my club to see how the hunting on the main creek would be and its super wet. I hunted Steel and Gin seperately.

First I cast Steel and he went out around 150 yards and struck. He drifted the track sort of sloppy and ended up getting treed on a Viney tree. It was very hard to shine but I don't believe he had the coon. I didn't like the way it all came together.

Next I cast Gin, She drove out around 900 yards in quick order and never struck. From what I've seen, she's not really a straight line hunter. She got to the dead end of the branch and made a loop into the clear cut and ended up back at the truck after a few minutes.

I moved and recast her down a branch that feeds a pond on the club. She struck in quick at around 100 yards and was treed at 200. I walked in and found the coon pretty quick.

I turned Gin loose again on the next dump which was a small branch that widens into a large section around 250 yards in. When I cast her, I could tell she smelled a coon, but she never opened. She went back and fourth in front of me several times and eventually worked her way out to about 175 yards and just fell treed. I walked in to her to find she was treed on a large oak tree that I've treed on twice before but never found the coon. In desperation, I decided I'd back out to the what I thought was an over grown clear cut and shine the tree. To my suprise I was out on a cut road I didn't know was there after about 50 yards. I had a nice view of the tree. After a good squall, the coon looked and I was stoked.

I made another drop with Gin and she struck another hot coon and was directly headed for the creek. She dove off in and loaded up treed. I was debating how to get to her and once I figured it out, I headed that way. It took me about 15-20 minutes to get half way and it was super flooded timber. She quit treeing somewhere along the half way mark and rolled out. Not sure why but I picked her up several hundred yards away on a paved road.



Tonight is our club's RQE and Im going to hunt her and Zac is going to hunt Steel. Maybe we will screw around and have some luck....

Updates

Since I've come off of night shift, It's hard to get an opportunity to get on here and type out a lenthy update...

I hunted Gin in our RQE at home and was winning the cast all the way to the last drop with +150... Stupid me made a bad call and it cost me the win. I was real beat up by that.


On the whole, I haven't been hunting near as much as a should. Between adjusting back to day shift and other things, It's been real easy just to stay home instead of fighting the elements.


I've took Gin out for a couple drops last tuesday night. I didn't see a coon, but she did a pretty nice job getting hooked on a bad track. On a whim I took her to a local UKC hunt Saturday night. Coon weren't moving a bit and to be honest, Gin looked terrible. She covered everything that treed and only once tried to get alone but eventually covered late. Not sure what her deal was but we are going to work on it


Fatty and her pups are doing well. We've pretty much made our unoffical picks and will announce them and let everyone else pick this wednesday. Im ready for her to get off those pups and get her back in the woods.


Speaking of getting dogs in the woods, I have no idea what I'll be hunting at English days next month lol. I've had my heart set on Steel and Gin, but to be honest both of them haven't performed consistenly like I've hoped. I'll probably end up taking both of them and flipping a quarter when it comes time to hunt lol.

Ugly is growing like a weed!!! I still haven't shown him any scent recently, but I have been turning him loose durring the day and letting him roam around the farm getting used to stuff. I need to quit procrastinating and get started on his training... He turned 18 weeks old today.

I'll keep yall updated as time rolls on! Thanks for reading!!!

I got the opportunity to go hunting a couple nights this past week... (Tuesday and Wednesday night). I hunted Ginny and she went one for two both nights with a coon a nice circle tree. Thursday we started getting pounded with rain, but so far today we haven't had any.

I plan on getting back in the woods come Sunday night for a quick drop or two.


My buddy John Shuman in Brooklet, Ga and I have been talking back and fourth over the past couple weeks. He's bought Dual Grand Campus Creek Boater out of Iowa and has asked me to help him out with him along and along. For those that don't know Boater, he placed 4th in the UKC World finals back in 2013 and has a reputation for being a coondog. I'm looking forward to seeing Boater hunt and potentially making some crosses on him. To date, he has 44 pups with 4 titled and 4 or so with wins. If he hits 100 pups he might just make the list.


Anywho, I finally got around to taking Ugly out for some training and I got mediocre results. I showed him the training scent and laid a small drag for him which he found but didn't tree on. He did manage to get up on the tree, but he just didn't get a bark out.

I've been letting him run around the farm in the afternoons so he can gain exposer to things and later that night, I got a nice suprise. I was inside watching tv with my wife when I heard Ugly "treed" on my back porch. I was confused as to what he could be up to so I went out to take a look.

That rascal had treed our ol farm cat on the porch banister lol. I took the opportunity to go and dump some coon scent on the cat... I've never done that before, but maybe it will work? lol.

It won't be long before English days and I'm pumped up! Who all is making the trip???



Also, we still have two male pups avalible from our Triple X x Fatty cross.... If you're interested, the link is listed below.. Shoot me a PM....

Happy Memorial Day!

It was one heck of a good weekend for us down here in South East Georiga. I got off work Thursday afternoon and haven't slowed down since. We hunted Ginny Thursday night and went 0-3 all with circle trees. Friday night we hunted her again and went 0-2 with a slick and cirlce.

My coon really don't seem to be doing alot here lately. The tracks I'm getting on are either super old or screaming hot. I managed to tree a couple earlier in the week, but the weekend was kind of tough.

Saturday morning the wife and I loaded up and went down the the Altamaha River and camped with her family. We spent the day catching baitfish, crawdads, and setting limb lines in hopes of catching a dinosaur of a catfish lol. We managed to get a few good sized cats in the boat, but none over 20 lbs.


Now it's back to the grind for one more week and then Blake Henderson from North Carolina, my wife, and my self will be rolling on the Green Up Illinois this time next week!

My good buddy Zeb Myers will be taking us in for the week and putting us in coon. I expect we will have a good time!

Thank you to everyone who booked a Triple X x Fatty pup! We got them all booked and they will be ready to be picked up this weekend! I'm looking forward to getting mine to the Family farm and doing some pup training!

Thanks for reading and HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

2016 English Days

What an amazing weekend...

We had a great weekend up in Oblong at English Days

Ginny was a Triple cast winner and scored 1225+ over three nights of hunting and only drew -75 when the eight caught her and another dog.

Thursday she Placed 2nd in the one hour All English Hunt with a Score of 400+

Friday she won her cast, but got beat on the tie breaker for 10th place. She had a 1st and 1st with a coon, but earlier drew that minus so she won the cast with +150

Saturday we won again with +600 and I drew a NICE 13 month old pup off of Main Street Dino that had me up against the ropes. That was probably the nicest pup I've been in the woods with in a while.

Collectively, we won 3rd place Registered for Saturday night and Overall Oppisite Sex Champion with Double cast wins and a combinded score of +750.


I couldn't be happier with her performance she showed in the woods and I'm proud to have her in my kennel.




Id like to thank Zeb Myers and his family for housing us all week long and his club in Casey, Illinois for putting us in coon. Also a big thanks to Blake Henderson for riding up with us and my wife, Taylor Todd for all she does to help keep me doing what I love


Id like to thank My hunting partners Zac Kea, Josh Tucker, and co owners of Ginny, Rocky Tanner and Roger Odom for their support as well as encouragement this weekend. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for them. Im honnored to call all of these guys my friends and am thankful for the great support system we have.


I'm looking forward to the future of Blazin' Timber English and the memories that will be made.


Thank you all so much.


2nd Place Registered Thursday Night All English Hunt


3rd Place Registered Saturday Night/Overall Oppisite Sex Champion English Days 2016

Looking Forward

It's been almost two weeks since our win at English Days and though we are honored by the win, we are keeping our head down and looking to the next hunt.

I picked up Fatty on Monday and have been hunting her and Ginny this week. So far, we haven't had much luck as both hounds haven't been firing on all cylinders. It's mildly to be expected though since Fatty hasn't seen the woods in a couple months and it's been dangerously hot down here.

My coon activity has gone down tremendously. I'm not sure if they have moved away from where I'm hunting or what, but I'm just having a real hard time coming up with any sort of decent track. Sad part is that it's been that way since before we left for Oblong.

The plan is to carry Ginny and Fatty to the Lancaster, South Carolina RQE this weekend and try our luck. I hope that the dogs and coon cooperate this time... I'd really like to see one of our females go to the Semi Finals.

Anywho, in other news we finally got rid of all the Triple X x Fatty pups and now we're just waiting around for them to get old enough to pick with. My female, Sassy, is going to be the smallest of the bunch... I've got her on some of the best feed you can give, and she still doesn't look like she's grown much in the past three weeks lol.

There is one pup that's growing though, and that's that One Ugly Joker pup... He'll turn 6 months old July 10th and he is probably about 40ish lbs and better than knee high. He's a real houndy looking sucker, but he's still devilish Ugly lol.


Thank you to those who've read my post and those English men who've welcomed us to the breed. We've got some other things in the works and depending on how they pan out, I may start another thread to match the direction we are headed.


Happy Hunting and God Bless!
