I KNEW STUMP SAID HE WAS A BIG WALKER, BUT I NEVER THOUGHT HE WAS THAT BIG. WELL WE WENT OUT THIS MORNING AND TREED A SMALL ONE. PUT 13 DOGS IN AT THE START. MY WALKER MADE IF FROM START TO TREEE. HE DID GO UP THE BIGGEST TREE AROUND - ABOUT 30 FEET UP. I WILL PUT A FEW PICS ON LATER. I HAD THE OLD CAMERA. HE WAS THE ONLY WALKER THERE OTHER THAN A WALKER PUP. THE GUYS I HUNT HAVE ALMOST ALL BLUE TICK.

HEY BRIAN

THE BOX IS DOING OK. I PUT SOME NEW PLYWOOD ON IT. WISH I HAD SOME ROAD SIGNS. WOULD LAST LONGER. I PUT A DIVIDER IN IT WHEN I WAS COON HUNTING. WELL I TOOK IT OUT. SOMETIMES YOU MAY HAVE A FEW MORE DOGS IN BOX WHEN YOUR PICKING UP OTHERS. I CAN SAY THAT I DO LOVE BEAR CHASING. I PAINTED THE BOX BLACK. MOST OF THE GUYS HAVE THE BOXES THAT SIT ON THE BED RAIL. MIGHT HAVE TO BUILD ONE OF THEM SOMEDAY. WE GOT OUT RUN A FEW TIMES AND HAVE CAUGHT A FEW ALSO. MY COON DOG IS STARTING TO DO BETTER EACH TIME OUT - AT LEAST I THINK. NOT SURE IF HE HAS VERY MUCH GRIT THOUGH. WE WALKED ONE FOR ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS ONE NIGHT. HE WAS DOING ALOT OF BARKIN, BUT NOT REAL CLOSE ALL THE TIME. WE HAD HIM STOPPED 3 OR 4 TIMES. WE GOT UP TO THE BASE OF THE TREE WHERE HE WAS BAYED AND HE TOOK OFF. I NEVER SEEN HIM ON ONE REAL CLOSE YET, BUT HE NEVER HAS COME BACK WITH ANY SCRATCHES OR CUTS. HE DID STICK IN THERE FROM TRUCK TO TREE ON THE LAST ONE. THEY LEAVE A BUNCH IN SEASON - ONLY TAKE THE BIGGER MALES.

TREED ONE SATURDAY NIGHT. RIGGED FOR OVER 2 HOURS AND FINALLY HAD A STRIKE. WE THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD TRACK. PUT A LEAD DOG DOWN AND SHE STARTED THE TRACK. WE PUT IN 5 TOTAL AND A PUP. HAD THE BEAR TREED WITHIN 30 MONUTES. IM NEW AT THIS. ONE OF THE WORST TRACKS WE THOUGHT AND TREED THE EASIEST. GO FIGURE.

Hate to see ya get out of it. I think I heard you say that before.

you will be back

I only got just the one dog - are you getting rid of all your dogs. not much money right now - if you have trouble finding them a home let me know. have any pups up there that you are keeping.
