The hound that made me so Picky
I’m 26 now, Back before I knew much about UKC and honestly coonhounds and how big the coonhound world really is I was fortunate to get lucky and pick a pup I named Chainsaw. He was off Turpins Stylish Rube and All Grand Almond Joy. I got him from Josh Daniels in GA he was in the front page of the Coonhound Bloodlines magazine around 10 years ago. I was 16 years old and had only started 2 blueticks with ‘PR’ parents and sold one of them as a rig dog on Bear for 1000 at a year and a half so I had money to buy some walkers and had trained about 30 deer hounds by then so my coonhound Training numbers were low and I wanted to bring them up. I knew Training a Coonhound was a lot more work I was ready to see just what it’s about I knew it Took more patience than training Deer dogs. So I quit deer hunting hard and started training coon dogs. I was on my way to Pick up a 7 year old NITECH Walker male from Tennessee who ended up being Ill and liked to slick tree. Also picked up this pup off stylish rube in GA and then to AL where I picked up a pup I named Rambo off the hound that was 2nd in the state race in pkc (forgot the bloodline) it he turned out very nice honest hound overtime but started slow. Let’s just say little Chainsaw didn’t need a leash walking back to the truck ever. I was never upset at this hound except for maybe when he was on deer but he just stopped running them. he was a pleasure to hunt. When I put him on the Bench to show he would stand stationary with his tail and head up without me really touching him. He would be 700 yds before you could walk back to the truck it seemed like. He was a second or third strike dog but a first tree dog. He would smoke other dogs I hunted with on a track. He stayed treed until the morning if I couldn’t get to him numerous times on someone else’s land Deeep!! He Always hunted out of the woods I cut him in. He hunted wide and hard and was accurate and not mean in any way. Won my cast with him on his first hunt he did great but unfortunately got killed by a car at the next hunt I had put him in. Let’s just say I will withdrawal if you try to hunt close to any Highways now. Still on the hunt for a hound like this. I miss him but I will never forget him. Been thinking about him a lot today he is what trained me it seems like. My most memorable hunt was when he was about 13 months old he treed a nice coon. I knocked it out to fight. (Don’t do this anymore now I like to hit them in the head) well the coon whipped him and run off. He was still Bawling trying to chase him so I cut him loose again. He treed it about 200 yds deeper. Knocked it out and he got whipped again. Coon Ran now he was really Bleeding but he still wanted to go so as cut him. Let’s just say the next tine he treed him I made sure to hit him in the Head. And the last tree was about 7 feet tall lol. Another time around the same age he got Whipped a different time by a coon and swam a creek chasing it. I took my boots off and swam the creeek too to save the dog becasue this coon was BIG! And it sounded like he was killing the dog. The coon escaped to the big river where he crossed and I didn’t make it back to find my hip boots that night, I lost them and my compass. Fun memories
