Take a kid

[herc14]

Hey I'm 15 live in washington have been doing a lot of talking to pegleg and I want to get in to the sport but he suggested I go on a couple hunts first was wondering if someone would take me but my dad would have to cg o as well maybe my lil brother but my dad would drive us there

[pegleg]

if any one is able to get him going in the right direction and show him the ropes I would sure appreciate it and be willing to help out in some way even if it's just some gas money or something to make hooking up easier. he's dying to go coon hunting so come on guys!! some one.
also if there is any younger kids in that area that hunt I'm sure he would appreciate hearing from you too.

It would help if we knew what area in Washington. I'm sure there is someone around that would let him tag along.

Herc14,
Do you own dogs yet?

[herc14]

I don't own dogs yet and I live in federal way

It is a bad time of the year to try and tag along on a hunt. The next hunting coming up would by bear hunting on timber permits.

Send me a pm with a number for your dad and maybe we can figure something out for you if you are close enough.

[herc14]

Ok I'll send you my number my dad isn't the easyiest man to get in touch with but if we set up something I will tel him and he well have no problem taking me

You should go to a field trial or water race. That would be a good place to meet and visit with houndsmen and women. A field tial is far from real hunting but can be fun and could be productive for your situation.

[herc14]

ok

[George Streepy]

A field trial is a great idea. I haven't been to one in about ten years but I went to the one down by Matlock and met some great people and had a pretty good time.

i think its great to see a young man wanting to get into hounds. if you lived closer i would take you. been trying to get my 13 year old cousin to tag along with me but that dad jim playstation junk is a big problem. always been told to keep your kids in church and in the woods and they'll be just fine.

See if you dad came drive you out to Matlock this weekend (Saturday or Sunday). That would be the best place to start.

[pegleg]

is there a trial at matlock this weekend? if so anyone have times and directions? we can't give him any excuses for not getting his behind out there
