Bill

Last night was the first night that I can ever remember not going hunting because of snakes, but I had seen so many in the last couple of weeks. I usually hunt about 95% of the time by myself and when you get to thinking about what could happen, not only to you, but to your dog it aint good. Well I better get off this subject before I have everyone else thinking about them.(like they already don't) Well they kept me out of the woods one night, but I'll be back out there with them Monday night. Good hunting

I took Tramp out last night for the first time since getting back from the Fall Round-up. I cast him in on an old slough. He went in about 100 yrds and I was watching him on the Garmin and could tell he was working an old cold track, but he wasn't opening on the ground, but he's that way some time he wont open until he warms it up some. He worked it on around to the left about another 150 yrds and treed. His voice was kind od raggedy and I thought he may still be having trouble with his throat. I got my rifle and walked in to him. He was treed in a real thick spot on the edge of the slough. there were about 4 trees growing there togeather and a lot of vines that went out into other trees. I could see one side of the tree pretty good, but couldn't get to the other side. I figured as cold as the track was he might have missed him, I didn't see him anyway. I leashed Tramp and walked back to the 4-wheeler. Loaded up and went on down the swamp. Drop 2, I turned Tram back in on the same slough farther down. He went in a ways and I hadn't heard anything so I got the Garmin out. and It said he was back the other way about 450 yrds. and I didn't think he was in that direction. About that time he opened probably about 3 hundred yrds completely in a different direction than the Garmin said he was. He had a pretty good track this time and he was moving out. I moved back the way he was moving and got pretty close in on him and looked at the Garmin again and it said he was in the opposite direction. I knew at this time I had g\Garmin problems. Tramp went on in a little deeper and treed. I knew from hunts before he was in a bad place. I started looking for another road that would get me closer to him. Igot on a road that I thought would get me closer to him, but it didn't. It kept getting me farther away. I stayed on it until I came to a place where I knew where I was at. By this time I just could hear Tramp, so I hit another road and it took me back close to where he was treed. I stopped to listen and Tramp wasn't treed any more, he was deep and he was running. I looked at the Garmin and it said again he was in the opposite direction. So I knew the Garmin was messed up so I put it away. 3 things were bothering me now. Tramp was deep and getting deeper. I was almost out of fuel in my 4-wheeler that I had forgot to refuel before I left the house and the Garmin had messed up on me. So I knew I needed to get Tramp out before he got out of pocket. I went around on another road that I thought would bring me pretty close to him and it did, I called a few times and he came out. When I loaded him up I seen what my problem was. His Tracking collar was gone, so I got out the Garmin and started tracking the collar. It took me back around to where I had made my first drop and was pointing in the direction of where he made the first tree. I walked back to the tree and there it was laying on the ground at the backside of the tree. I had leashed him and moved from there to the second turn out and I had never noticed that the tracking collar was not on him. Well I'm glad he lost it there instead of some of the places he had been. I guess it had caught in some of the vines and thick stuff around the tree and some how it had unbuckled and dropped off. We called it a night. Maybe we'll have better luck tonight.

Yes, Mr. Myers I'm pretty bad about things like that happening to me.
I took Gin out for a short run last night. I turned her up an old dry slough bed and she went in about 200 yrds and struck an old cold track. She worked it and moved it about another 200 yrds and she was getting close to another woods road so I went around on it and got close to her. It was a real bad track and she was just opening every now and then. When she came out on the road I was on she decided it was just to tough for her and came on in. I loaded her up and we moved farther down the swamp. I turned her down another bottom and she went in another 100yrds and struck another cold track. She moved it in another 150 yrds and treed. She wasn't treeing like she really believed it but she wasn't going anywhere. About that time a pair of armadillos came thru and I got my rife and shot both of them. I thought that might pull her off, but it didn't. Hogs and armadillos are two things that are a real nuisance in this part of the country. I walked into where Gin was treed and she was treed up a small oak going up into a larger one. She didn't tree like she was serious. I looked it over , but didn't see any eyes. I think she just did the best she could with this one. We moved on down the swamp and turned loose again. She went in a ways and struck again, another bad track. She didn't go far and treed again. This time she treed hard. I walked in to her and she was treed up a large oak. I shined for awhile, but if he was there he wasn't looking. That seems to be about all we have struck lately was old cold tracks. I guess the coons are moving before dark. Everybody that I have talked to seem to be having the same problem. I loaded Gin up and we called it a night.

Thanks Bill

I took Tramp back to the vet today. I took him to a different vet this time than I did last time. I guess you could say that I wanted to get a second openion. He told me the same thing the other one did and give me some pills for him and told me to lay him up for another 2 weeks, so that will knock him out of hunting in the state hunt on Oct.31 and Nov. 1. I went up to Claytons and picked up Tramps Littermate sister Doll V. She hadn't been hunted much in the last month or so, I hunted her tonight. She made 3 trees The first one was a big oak. It had a lot of leaves on it, but if he was there he wasn't looking. The second one I saw and the third one she run it a good ways and jammed him in a den tree so I'm pretty sure he was there. She looked good, I just need to sharpen her up some, so looks like I may still have something to hunt in the state hunt

I went to a place just south of here to hunt tonight and as I was going in a big coon ran across the road. Well we all know that when this happens the best thing to do is just keep driving to your original destination, but its hard to do so out came the dogs and away they went. I drove the truck on around and parked. I unloaded my 4-wheeler and road back around to where I had released the dogs and by this time they were almost out of hearing. There was a woods road close by that went in their direction so I headed toward them. I got to within a couple of hundred yrds of them and stoped and listened. They had come through some rough stuff and was still in it. They were having a rough time and the track was not as hot as it was. They finally lost it completely. Gin hit a tree in there and treed for about 5 min., but she didn't stay with it. I called them out and we moved on down the swamp and I turned them up another slough and they struck a pretty good track. They made a couple of circles through the swamp and headed out up a branch. They were pushing him pretty hard and after about 750 yrds he decided he had better climb, but he knew where he was going. Doll locked up treed with Gin right behind her. Those two little ladies were making the swamp ring. I had ti go way around on the 4-wheeler to get closer to them. I went as far as I could on the 4-wheeler and walked on in to them. they were treed up a group of Gum trees that were completely covered with vines that went into some other large trees around them. I'm sure he was there the way they ran him, but he was locked in tight and wasn't looking. I led the dogs back to the 4-wheeler and we called it a night

I went up to Claytons last night to make a round with him. Clayton was gone most of last week to a squirrel hunt. I think he told me Missouri. It was a competition hunt and he won 2nd place Friday and 1st place Saturday. Pretty good for his 1st competition hunt. We were going down an old oil well road and a coon ran across the road. We discussed the do's and don'ts of turning loose on a coon crossing the road. Clayton said he was headed into some bad stuff, so we decided to go on down a little farther and turn loose. The only problem was we forgot to tell Doll what we were doing, so when Clayton turned her loose she took off back to where the coon crossed and away they went. Gin got with her pretty quick and they went right out in the middle of that big briar patch and treed. We worked our way in there to them and they were treed up a big oak. Clayton found some eyes pretty quick and then said (man that's a dern possum) We shined the tree for several minutes and didn't see anything else. I know that there was a coon up there some where, but we didn't cut Clayton much slack about the possum. We worked our way back to the 4-wheeler and moved on down to a Dummy Line and turned loose down beside it The dogs were gone for a little while and they both opened about the same time in different directions. Doll had the better track and it wasn't long till she loaded up treed. Gin was still in a different direction so we got on the 4-wheeler and went back down the Dummyline to Doll. She was treed about 50 yrds off the Dummyline up a large oak. We found the coon pretty quick and decided to knock it out to her. It was a big coon and he came out of there ready to fight. Before I could get Doll turned loose the coon ran through a colvert under the dummyline. With all the noise and excitement Gin came in to check things out. They found where the coon went through the colvert and got after him and caught him in a briar patch down side the Dummyline and the fight was on. They finally got the best of him, but the dogs were bit up some too. We loaded them up and went to another spot and turned loose. They probably went in 300yrds and struck again. It started out cold and they soon had it running. They moved it about 500 yrds and treed. We were in an old woods road and we walked back around it. The dogs were treed right beside the road up a large Oak. It didn't take us long to find the coon and we left him to run again. We turned loose one more time and they struck a bad track and moved it a long way. They tried to tree a couple of times and then move on. We finally got a chance to catch them so we caught them up and called it a night.

Steve, I sure enjoyed the hunt also, it was good to see Mr. B. H. Patterson again. It had been a couple of years. Bo sure did do a good job and sounded good on that last tree in there by himself. Steve is going to hunt Bo at the Ms. State Hunt next weekend antd they should do good. As for me Looks like I may just have to go over there and guide for them. I was going to hunt Tramp in it and he came down with some Kind of problem with his throat and they haven't found exactly what the problem is yet. I went and picked up his littermate sister Doll V and was going to hunt her over there and she came in season on me about a month before she was suppose to.

on your 2nd place win at Lucedale, Ms. last night. This win finished Shadow to a Dual Champion. With a 1st. 2nd. and 3rd place win and I think 2 Best of Shows and a couple of Best of Breed wins. I think that was done in six hunts. Jeremy has sure done a good Job with him.

We took Tramp and Shadow out for a short run tonight mainly just to see how Tramp was doing. 1st drop, they went hunting came back in with out a bark. 2nd drop same thing. 3rd drop Shadow hit a cold track and didn't go far and treed. Tramp came in to him and treed a little with him. We shined the tree but if he was there he wasn't looking, but it was 2 big oaks togeather so he could have been there. Shadow did a good job and treed good,but this didn't tell me a lot about Tramp. We loaded up and moved on down the swamp. 4th drop, They went in about 300 yrds and Shadow struck a working track and was moving it pretty good. Tramp was in another direction,but he covered him but never opened until they treed and he really treed good on this treeand sounded good, but he had never opened on the track and Tramp usually opens good on track. I'll hunt him tomorrow nite alone and see how he does.

Took these two a few miles south of here to hunt tonight. I was going to hunt Tramp alone tonight,but it sure is hard to leave Gin in the pen. I turned them up an old slough and they left in a hurry. Tramp went south down the slough and gin went east across the slough. Tramp went in about 400 yrds and Gin was about 300 and they look like they both started to circle back about the same time. They both came out on the old road that I was on without a bark, so I loaded them up and went deeper in the swamp to another part of the same slough and turned them north up the slough. They went in about 600yrds and Gin opened a couple of times and Tramp opened about 50yrds deeper in. It was the same track and it was a cold one. In a few minutes they were both togeather. I was glad to hear Tramp opening on track again. They worked the track on up the slough a couple hundred yrds and Treed. I got my rifle and started to them. Just before I got to them I came to the slough. Naturally they were treed on the other side. In all my years of hunting It hasn't happened many times that if there was a creek or slough around they were just about always treed on the other side. I had to walk down the slough a ways to find a place to cross without getting over my boots. I found a place to cross and walked back to where they were treed. They were treed up a large oak and it was a den tree. I shined for a while, but if he was on the out side he wasn't looking. I leashed the dogs and came back to the 4-wheeler and moved on down the swamp and cast again. This time they didn't go far and hit a hot track and drove it about another 50 yrds and slamed a tree. Tramp hit it about a half bark ahead of Gin. I went in to them and they were treed up a medium sized oak and ther were several sets of eyes looking at me. I took one out and left the others to run again. I didn't want to over work tramp so we called it a nite.

I took Gin for a short run last night alone. I think it is as about as dry here as I have ever seen it. The only thing that has any water in it now will always have water in it. I don't see how these ole hounds can smell anything. We were suppose to have gotten a little rain here this weekend, but it didn't happen. Now they are saying it will be at least another week before we get another chance. The State Hunt is this weekend and the weather man said we are in for a big weather change, sometime the coon don't move much then, but they haven't been moving much anyway, so maybe it will start them moving. Oh well enough about the weather, back to the hunt. I turned Gin loose up an ole dry slough bed znd she went in a couple hundred yrds and struck a cold track. She worked it into about 400 yrds and treed. I went to her and she was treed up what I thought was a large oak, but after a closer look about 30 feet up it was broke off. A little momento left by Catrina. There were a lot of vines up in there going out to other trees. I looked for a while but I never saw anything, so we went back to the 4-wheeler and moved on down the swamp. I knew where a deer feeder was so we went close to it and turned out. She went on by the feeder there had been nothing there even though there was a lot of corn on the ground. She got in about a hundred yrds and struck a cold track, moved it about another 100 yrds and treed. She was treed up a medium sized oak that had a big vine in it that went over to a much bigger oak and about half way between them sat a big possum. I looked the tree over good to be sure there wasn't a coon up there and then put the shock collar to use. After that we loaded up and moved on up the swamp. I didn't figure she would go hunting or anything else last night, but to my surprise she went hunting and struck another cold track and worked it a bout 200 yrds and treed. I went to her and I don't know what kind of tree she was treed up, but it was right in next to the river leaning into some more trees with vines everywhere. I shined for a while, but if he was there he wasn't looking, so we went back to the 4-wheeler, loaded up and called it a nite.

Thank you Geremy and Darren for your congrats and congratulations to you Darren On your win with Andy and finishing him out to Nite Ch.

Geremy nor I did any good Friday Nite. I drew a rough dog and that didn't help. Jeremy won his cast with Shadow Sat. nite, but another cast came in with more points. This was Shadows first hunt since making Nite Ch. I lucked up Sat. nite and won 1st place with Tramp.
this win gave Tramp two first place wins. I drew out with Mr. Larry Woods and 2 more real nice guys, but I cant remember their names. We had a real fun and exciting hunt. We treed a 1 Armodilla, 1 Possum and 2 coons. Mr. Larry Woods female got hung up about 30 feet up in a leaning tree and one of the young guys spectating in our cast climbed up and tied some of our leashes to her and lowered he back down to us, and she went right back to treeing. I think the female belonged to Mr. Steve Wilson and she was a real nice little female. I heard no complaints of any kind at the State Hunt. We had A large turn out for the bench show both days and for the Nite hunt. Mr. Tim Dillon and all the officers are doing a great job for the State Assoc.
