20 feet up

Post by WyoHunter »

Here are some pics of a couple recent hunts. This was the fourth time I had run this cat over the course of the last month. Had him jumped on two of the other races and my dogs could not put him in a tree, lost him in the rocks both times. The second race ended in a giant boulder field with rocks as big as a house. When they finally treed him I had one hound 20 feet up the tree and could not find the cat. I ended up climbing 30 feet into the 60 foot spruce before I could see him. This wasn't the biggest tom I ever caught but it was one of the hardest. Didn't get any good pics of the cat but here are some of the hounds.

Great pics that red dog had a work out getting up that tree. How is that young female working she looks like her mom in the head. Andy

It's hard for me to keep a cat up a tree when the dogs climb up right behind them. To many jumps makes for a long day. Alot of the trees are not much taller than 20 feet.

box rocker, It's the first time I've had a dog that high in a tree in 7 years of hunting and they have caught plenty of them. I thought pics were funny, actually at first sight of the dog through the timber I thought they had caught a lion.
twist,
The female I got from you is doing ok. Medium nose, pretty quiet on cold trail but lacking in the track speed department.

Great pix.
Tree-climbing is a bad habit, but it is kind of fun to witness as long as the dog can get down o.k. I had one that learned to shinny up like a monkey on limbless trunks. That was scary, but he always managed to get down ok, mostly by using me to break his fall!
