I love hunting Satch! I have been getting him out 3 to 4 nights a week. I'm trying to get him out at least two times alone and me and Tim will hunt Satch and his Sis female together the other. He is hunting much better although still not too deep, which is OK by me, I figure it's coming! He has shown that he will split, or honor Tim's female, if she is right. He has run a deer, for a short distance through the field but is much more interested in coon. He has gone as far a 500 yards alone (on a track) but for the most part, he ranges from 100 to 250 yards. He is starting to tree much harder and knows what (Get on there) means. I'm pleased with his progress and he has shown steady improvement each week. He handles good and is a real looker with a very nice mouth. He still gets a little sick in the hull box and is reluctant to jump in but after the first drop, he's much better. I'm looking forward to every night I can hunt him and it's been quite a while sense I've made that statement. If everything goes right, I should have a pretty good coon hound come spring time.

Hello Ron,
It is good to hear that you are enjoying your young male out of Sport and Emma. There are others out of this cross that are doing well also. You are probably right when you said that after this season your going to have a good hound. Keep him in the woods and good luck with the upcoming season.

If I'm not mistaken, there are just 7 that are living now. I only have direct knowledge of 4 of them. Of these 4, all their owners seem to be happy with them. The other three, including the one you sold, I do not have direct knowledge about. Roger kept a female out of the cross and has been letting her run loose at times. He seems to like her and is going to hunt her this fall with his old dog. I think he told Dale that he likes her actions. Daryl Adkins has a male that he really likes. He has been running and treeing his own coon for awhile now. All 7 of the pups have stayed in West Virginia as far as I know.

From the sound of things, this cross was worth making and may turn out to be a great cross. Thanks for the update, have a great day....Ron

I've been having a ball hunting my pup "Satch" out of Sport & Emma. He's been pretty much a natural from the start. Treed his first coon at around 8 months old, (alone in the wild). Has been steadily getting better each night I hunt him. Hasn't fooled with trash much either. Good looking rascal too, big ole boy about 70+ lbs with good conformation and a great mouth and disposition. Just a big happy go lucky pup that can flat tree a coon. He turned one year old on 18 Oct and has treed me 6 coon alone sense then and one tree was over 800 yards away. No record by any means but I'm sure pleased with him. With limited hunting he has done as much and even more than my expectations. Thanks George!

It's good to hear Ur liking ole Satch. I finally got out for a hunt last night. First time Izzy had been out since shortly after I bred her. She got after an old cold track and took it out of one holler around face of hill up and through another holler treeing it just over ridge. She showed Sarge he is still young and inexperienced. He tried to work it out of first holler and around face of hill but got so far behind he gave up and went to her. Lol. I'm liking Sarge and he's fun to hunt as he's a classy treedog and will take tons of pressure on the wood. He's the kind that makes dogs pull to him wen he sets it up and starts clicking. He was a natural. He's smart and handles the way one should. Good luck rest of season.

Yep, those old dogs make it look easy sometimes. Izzy just showed young Sarge that he still needs some time under his belt. Even though Satch is doing well, I know he has much to learn. It's a big difference hunting one alone and not having something to judge it against. I used to have a good friend that I hunted with quite a bit. He had a very nice Walker dog that was a tree dog deluxe. He hunted alone most of the time. One night he came over to hunt and I took my old Bonnie female. His young male struck and pulled around and up the hill and treed. Bonnie went the opposite way with the track and across an old dusty field and way back in the hollow and treed. We went to his dog and he had nothing, we walked about a quarter mile the other direction to Bonnie and saw the coon. His response was, until you have something to measure your dog against, it's hard to see what you have, LOL! Make no mistake, that didn't happen every time, that Walker was a coon dog! By this time next year we'll see what we have in these two young hounds. Heck, they just turned one year old. Good luck George and keep us posted on the progress of Sarge.

He sure is a fine looking rascal. I have given up coon hunting, at least for the near future. Too many Irons in the fire with too little time for all of them. As soon as Tim gets room in his kennel, he is going to take Satch. Satch is a super nice young hound that has all the tools needed to make a top cooner, they just need refined. I'd say that was a fairly good cross from all the reports on the off spring. Good luck and please keep us posted on Buck's progress.....Ron

It was an exceptional cross as the whole litter will run and tree their own coon. I'm hoping Buck makes the grade hounds out of crosses like this typically r the reproducers.

Ron, Good luck on ur next hound and hope ur back at it soon. Tell Tim keep us posted on Satchs progress. Thanks

U guys gonna b @ Ashland next month?

Just an update on the Satch pup off of Emma and Sport. I have been out with him 3 times in the last week and have seen 6 coon on 3 trees and 2 dens. The last time he treed is as good as I've ever seen him look. Had a fair track but when he hit the tree after a beautiful locate, it was a big loud chop till we got to the tree. He does throw a bawl in on the tree once in a while but you definitely know what he's doing. My good friend Tim Wolfe owns Satch now cause I gave him to Tim when I quit hunting back in the spring but I couldn't stand not going so I'm back at it now. I believe with a little tweaking, Satch will finish in the hunts pretty easy. He hunts good, is an excellent track dog and doesn't hardly ever miss. Big good looking sucker too, that always helps! Figured I'd let you know about one of the pups off of that litter George hope the rest of the litter is fairing well. Have a great day.....Ron
