20 feet up

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.

One wore out hound

Not much left for nails after two hours of running the cat around in the rocks

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!
