I think we should plan a "reunion" type weekend where we could make a weekend of it and wheel in some campers and bring the families, 4 legged and 2 legged models.

BRANDON,
I THINK YOU MAY BE ON TO SOMETHING. I'VE GOT HOSE SPLITTERS AND DROP CORDS TO GET THE CAMPERS SET UP, TWO FIRE PITS AND AM FULL OF ENOUGH B.S. TO MAKE A WEEKEND OF IT. GONNA MAKE SOME HITCHING RAILS TO TIE DOGS OUT AND WE SHOULD BE SET. AN ASSORTMENT OF REFRESHMENTS GOES WITHOUT SAYING, AND I HOPE NO ONE IS DISAPPOINTED IF IT AIN'T IN A YETI COOLER. MR. CARL, YOU ARE WELCOME TO MAKE CAMP RIGHT ALONG WITH US. I COULD HOLLER AT A WALKER GUY OR TWO, THEN WE COULD HAVE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE. I BELIEVE A GOOD TIME WOULD BE HAD BY ALL. <v>

COONS WERE MOVING SOME TONIGHT. GOT GIRLFRIEND OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE COMING OUT OF HEAT. SHE DROVE A GOOD TRACK A QUARTER AND HAD 2 COONS IN A CULVERT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A HUGE PASTURE. THE NEXT SPOT, SHE STRUCK RIGHT OFF AN OLD BARN AND WORKED AN OLDER TRACK 700 YDS AND TREED ON A BIG MAPLE DEN DOWN ON RUSHCREEK. I COULDN'T SEE THE COON, BUT COULD SEE A BIT OF STEAM COMING OUT A SHINED UP HOLE IN THAT MAPLE. I GAVE HER THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT ON THAT ONE. CUT HER FROM THERE AND SHE STRUCK ON A FROZEN POND AND SCREAMED ONE ABOUT 70 YARDS AND PUT IT IN A HOLE IN THE DIKE OF THE POND. SEEN HIM 2. BLEEDIN FEET AND BEIN FRESHLY BRED, I FIGURED THAT TO BE ENOUGH. CAME BACK AND AFTER REPLACING A HEADLIGHT AND PULLING MY BUMPER OUT FROM GIVIN A DEER A HEAD SHOT. GRABBED TUFF AND DROPPED HIM OUT IN A BIG TIMBER. HE OPENED A FEW TIMES OUT THE END OF ONE OF THE TIMBERED DITCHES THAT LED OUT TO THE CORN FIELD. HE HIT THE CUT CORN ON THE RUN, OUT TO THE ROAD AND DOWN IT A QUARTER AND THEN 680 DOWN IN. HE WAS ON A DEN AND COULD SEE THAT ONE ALSO. BOTH DOGS DID GOOD AND HAVE HAD SOME FUR SO THEM DOING THEIR JOB, SEEIN THE COONS AND NOT TAKING ANY OF THEM REALLY DIDN'T BOTHER ME TO BAD. I DON'T BELIEVE I AM GONNA TAKE TO MANY MORE ANYWAY WITH THE WAY THE POPULATION SEEMS TO BE. GOT BACK TO THE TRUCK AT 2:45 AND SAW ONE CROSS THE ROAD ON THE WAY HOME, SO WHATS OUT THERE IS MOVIN. <v>

sounds like the dogs are workin well for ya. if ya think you would want a black dog in that mix let me know. your group sounds like a bunch of real nice guys and would be a lot of fun to hunt with. my huntin has been slow, no coon pupulation, is what it seems to me. I know it cant be the dogs cause mine can tree a handicapped coon if he doesnt have much of a head start. lol anyways sounds like your line is reproducing very nice all around coondogs that are also nice to look at. congrats.

I agree, it does sound like a good group to throw in with. Perry, I am glad to hear that you have some coons moving. I am not all that far from you (1 1/2 hour east) but this is the second winter with very little luck hunting. I even scouted out a couple of new spots for this season and still nothing much.

DAN,
IF THIS COMES TOGETHER, I WILL GIVE YOU A HOLLER. YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME. IT AIN'T ABOUT THE COLOR OF THE HOUND WE HUNT, BUT THE FACT THAT WE ENJOY WHAT THEY DO THAT BRINGS US TOGETHER. A GOOD HOUND IS A GOOD HOUND AND I WOULD HUNT ONE THAT FALLS INTO THAT CATEGORY NO MATTER THE COLOR OF HIS SUIT. HOPE YOU GET A FEW MORE ENJOYABLE NITES OF HIDE HUNTIN. <v>

DRILLER,
EVERYONE I HAVE TALKED TO IS SEEING THE SAME THING AND FROM A LOT OF DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. SO FAR I HAVE TAKEN A FEW LESS THAN HALF OF THE COONS I HARVESTED LAST YEAR. THERE ARE PLACES THAT I HAVE TREED COON IN FOR OVER 30 YEARS THAT ARE PRETTY MUCH DOREMENT AND HAVE TRIED THEM A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES TO CONFIRM. IF WE GET THIS GATHERING THATS BEING TALKED ABOUT TOGETHER AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME, WE WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE YOU AND THANKS FOR THE KIND WORD. <v>

HEY TOM,
HOW YOU DOIN OLE BUDDY. I'M DOIN OK, GETTIN OLDER BY THE DAY, BUT AIN'T WE ALL. I'M NOT HAULING DOGS RIGHT NOW, BUT TELL THE WIFE ALL THE TIME THAT ONE DAY I WOULD LOVE TO GET BACK IN. I TRULY LOVE DOING THAT. IT WAS LIKE OLD TIMES THIS LAST WEEKEND, BUCK AND I LOADED UP AT MIDNIGHT FRIDAY NITE AND RAN DOWN TO SALEM ILL.(BOUT A 6 HOUR TRIP ONE WAY) AND PICKED UP A DOG FOR FRIENDS. MY ROAD DRIVING AND BUCK'S NAVIGATION SKILLS WERE A BIT RUSTY, BUT WE GOT'R DONE. HOPE ALL IS WELL IN YOUR PART OF THE WORLD, AND GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU. <v>

Buck I swear that deer is part MOOSE!!! I was in a deer yarding area tonight, I was keeping my eyes peeled and taking a little bit longer to get to the dogs treed. No luck yet.

This was just the 2nd night I've had my new female out. So far I'm liking what I'm seeing. Tonight she made 2 dens and 2 coons, 1 coon was pulled out of a road tube against his will. They ended up out on the frozen Yellowstone Lake. The noises a lake makes this time of year is some of the most intriging sounds I've ever heard. When you're out there 50 yards from the shoreline, intriging can turn into other emotions.

Here's some pics of "Dot" and "Man". Unfortunately, "Man" is against getting his photo taken or something at this point.

BILLY,
THE LAST TIME I SAW A COON TREED UP ONE OF THOSE WAS IN A GR.NT.CH. CAST AT AUTUMN OAKS. I WAS HUNTIN RUSS' LUKE DOG, MIKE RAEF AND HARD TIME JIM, THE LEAPER FEMALE THAT RUSS OWNED AT ONE TIME AND CAN'T REMEMBER THE WALKER DOGS NAME, BUT ANYWAY WE HAD 2 SETS OF 4 SPLIT TREES.IF THE WALKER DOG HAD HIS COON HE WON IT. LIKE YOU, LOOKING AT THE GARMIN, WE ARE WALKING IN THE DIRECTION THE DOG WAS TREED AND THERE WERE NO TREES OR ANYTHING OR SO IT APPEARED.
A LIGHT POLE WITH A COON ON IT SURE MADE THAT FELLER HUNTIN THE WALKER DOG GRIN. IF I REMEMBER RIGHT HE WON NATL'GRAND WALKER DOG THAT YEAR. IT WAS GOOD TO MEET YOU LAST WEEKEND. OTIS IS GONNA BE A GOOD ONE. <v>

Good ones don't live for ever and you might want to add a little Oppy later.


I have heard good reports out of his off springs.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ENOUGH SEMEN PUPS FROM ANY DOG OF ANY BREED THAT HAS REALLY BLOWN MY DRESS UP. ON ANOTHER SIDE OF IT, I HOPE THAT WE HAVE BRED FORWARD ENOUGH THAT WE HAVE SOME OF HIS OFFSPRING THAT ARE BRED RIGHT ENOUGH TO CARRY ON IN WHAT WE LIKE AND BE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE SAME. I MAY LOOK BACK IN TEN YEARS AND WISHED I'D HAVE LISTENED TO THE ONES THAT SAID TO HAVE HIM COLLECTED, BUT I HOPE NOT AND I SAY THAT RESPECTFULLY. <v>

THE BARRETT'S AND I WILL BE WORKING TOGETHER TO GET A FEMALE OUT OF TIMM'S BLUE TRAPPER X BARRETT'S NORTHERN BLUE DIXIE. DIXIE IS OFF A FATHER/DAUGHTER CROSS OF SPARETIME SPANKY. TRAPPER'S BOTTOM SIDE IS TIMM'S BLUE SUSY BY JET 5 X SOUIX VALLEY SUE. BRED TO OPPY. SHE IS DUE IN HEAT AND WILL BE SENT UP HERE FROM MISSISSIPPI IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS. ALSO POSSIBLY A HAZEL HILL AND UCHTMAN FEMALE IN JULY. <v>

I HOPE THAT EVERYONE ENJOYED OUR HUNT AND GET TOGETHER AS MUCH AS I DID. WE TREED SOME COONS AND GOT TO HANG OUT AND SHARE OUR HOUND STORIES THAT HAVE BEEN ACCUMULATED THROUGH A BUNCH OF YEARS COLLECTIVELY. REX AND TRENT KROUGH, TODD ACKERMAN, BERT SMOCK, BOBBY DISCH, BUCK ROOSTER AND <v> WAS THE LINE UP. I WAS MORE THAN PLEASED WHEN TRENT TEXTED ME TO SAY THAT REX WAS MAKING THE TRIP. REX IS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF KNOWLEDGE ON THE OLD DOGS THAT MAKE UP ALOT OF BLUETICK HISTORY, AND WE DON'T GET TOGETHER NEAR ENOUGH, SO IT WAS FROSTING ON THE CAKE. WE HUNTED A COUPLE DIFFERENT GROUPS OF DOGS AND WAS LOOKIN TO TURN LOOSE AGAIN AROUND 4AM, BUT WHEN WE SAW THE DEER HUNTERS UP AND MOVIN GETTIN READY TO HIT THE WOODS FOR THE LAST DEER KILLIN OF THE YEAR, WE FIGURED IT WAS TIME TO HEAD FOR HOME. ANYTIME YA'LL CAN MAKE IT, YOU ARE WELCOME AT THIS FIRE. <v>
