LIFE
SOUNDS GOOD TOM, THATS ALL YOU CAN DO IS PUT THEM OUT THERE AND GIVE THEM SOME GUIDENCE. LIKE I WAS TELLIN YA THE OTHER NITE BY TEXT, THE 3 FROM THAT LITTER THAT BEEN MESSED WITH SOME ARE DOIN PRETTY GOOD. HERES HOPIN HARLEY DOES THE SAME. GOT ANY PICS OF HIM? <v>
STEVE,
THE ADAMETZ FAMILY WERE HUNTERS AND HARD WORKIN FARMERS AND ALWAYS ENJOYED GOING AND SPENDING A FEW DAYS AT A TIME WITH THEM THERE ON THE FARM IN MONFORT WISC. THEY ALWAYS HAD A KENNEL FULL OF BLUE DOGS AND A RAFT OF COYOTE DOGS. YOTE HUNTIN DURING THE DAY WITH HOUNDS IS VERY ADDICTIVE. I WENT AND STAYED WITH JOHN AND FAMILY FOR A WEEK ONE TIME, WE CUT HUGE ASH LOGS DOWN ON THE BLUE RIVER, SKIDDED THEM OUT WITH THE HORSES, TOOK THEM TO A COUNTRY SAWMILL AND THEY CUT THEM INTO THE LUMBER WE USED ON THE NEXT VISIT TO BUILD A BIG SHED AT JOHN'S BROTHER JOE'S. NEVER FORGET THE HUGE NOON TIME MEALS COOKED BY THE WOMEN FOLKS AND THE COLD LOCALLY BREWED BEER AT BREAK TIME UP ON THE ROOF OF THAT SHED. AT THE TIME OF THESE TO VISITS, I WAS HUNTIN LUKE AND A VERY NICE WALKER DOG BY THE NAME OF GRNTCH. DOWNING'S MIGHTY MAGNET OWNED BY BRIAN DOWNING(NO RELATION TO RUSS) GETTING BOTH READY FOR THE WORLD HUNT THAT YEAR. HOGGY WOULD GO A DUMP EVERY NITE AND THEN TELL ME I WAS ON MY OWN IF I WAS GONNA KEEP HUNTIN AND POINT ME TO SOME GREAT HUNTIN SPOTS AND HE'D HEAD FOR BED. I REMEMBER MORNING COMIN PRETTY EARLY ON SOME OF THOSE HUNTS. RUSS AND I SPENT MANY A NIGHT HUNTIN THERE AND GETTIN IN AT WEE HOURS JUST IN TIME TO BE WOKE UP BY JOHN'S DAUGHTER'S HOLLERIN COME ON BOYS, WE GOT LITTERS TO TREAT. THEY FARROWED HOGS AND ALWAYS HAD LITTERS TO CLIP TAILS, TEETH, CASTORATE AND MEDICATE, AND BREAKFAST WASN'T TIL AFTER ALL THE CHORES WERE DONE. JOHN DID ALOT OF HIS FARMIN WITH HORSES, I CAN STILL SEE THAT TEAM OF BUCK AND DEWEY HITCHED TO THE MANURE SPREADER STANDIN UNDER THE BARN CLEANER AT THE HOG SHED. WE'D COME OUT FROM BREAKFAST AND HE'D HOLLER AND HERE THEY WOULD COME WITH THE SPREADER IN TOW AND JOHN WOULD JUMP IN AND GO SPREAD THE CONTENTS. THEY WERE A DEAD BROKE TEAM AND NOT AS BIG AS THE PERCHERON'S, BUT MAN THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE AND WORKED AND PULLED LIKE IT TO. JOHN LOVED THE DOGS, BUT HIS FIRST LOVE IS THE WORK HORSES. HE WAS THE HEAD TEAMSTER UP AT BARABOO WISC AT CIRCUS WORLD FOR AWHILE. LATER ON HE WON THE WORLD LOGGING CHAMPIONSHIP IN VIRGINIA WITH SOME OF HIS PERCHERON HORSES. LIKE I HAVE SAID IN ALOT OF OTHER POSTS, THOSE WERE THE DAYS AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. <v>
