Merry Christmas Randy, Thank You so much for finding that picture of Ole Deamon. I hadn't seen that picture in many, many years. I did have the good fortune of hunting with Deamon one night. He was a nice balanced hound on the night I hunted with him. This was probably 1979 or 1980. I took my young dog, Tree Banging Buddy who was directly out of Deamon and went to Mike Sheeks house. (probably not the correct spelling) Mike lived near St. Mary's, Ohio. This was right after the vey hard winter of 1977.
Well Ole Buddy was one heck of a quick locator, and an every breath treedog. Now buddy was only about 9 moths old but man was I proud of him if you know what I mean, LOL.
We cut them dogs in a little patch woods near Mikes house, and Ole Buddy went in there and slammed a tree about 1 minute after I turned him loose, had all the old dogs shut out, and he was telling all who would listen, just how proud of this tree he was. Mike told me "man that pup just did one heck of a job". I said sounds like he just treed a possum to me as there was no track, he simple came treed. Mike told me, "awh Dave you don't have to worry about that, I haven't treed a possum here since the hard winter of 77, I think they all froze to death. That dog has just treed a coon on all these old dogs." Well wouldn't you know it when we got to that tree Ole Buddy was sounding strong, but he had just treed the ONLY Possum that had been treed in that area in the past two to three years. Man was I dissapointed, but that is coon hunting. Just when you get so full of yourself that you cannot stand it any longer, the Good Lord has a way of bringing you back to reality, LOL! Absolute True Story, But Again, Thanks so much for posting that picture of Ole Deamon. I sure like/liked that line of dogs!!
Take Care!
