I was out hunting today and had this really great hound training opportunity lumbering along beside my truck. Yea, it was one of those long, fuzzy porkies....

Well, I just couldn't help myself and began to unsnap my hounds on top and then jerk the door open on the box below. All my older dogs came off the box and then did a flip-flop and jumped back up on top, but OBama just couldn't help himself--you know, being a plott dog with all that grit and everything................

Well, I about fuzzed all the circuits in his brain before he headed for the truck. But damn that plott dog is gritty and he came back for more and so I gave it to him again...

If you recall, ol' Maverick about ate a porky last summer and we spent an hour pulling quills and then the infection set in and he was out of business about all of the summer bear pursuit season. If he misses summer season this year it'll be because of all the electricity that is still bouncing around in his brain ha......

Well I am glad it worked out for you. I have had bad experiences with porkys. Maybe it is bad Karma because I have killed several hundred of them over the years. They would invade our alfalfa patch and I would go amongnst them with my oak 2x2 and they can't stand much on the bridge of the nose. I lost one of the greatest young hounds i will ever own to a porky. This dog was Goswick breeding back to the ground. 27" at the shoulder and 85 pounds of raw muscle. He was an awesome speciman and well on his way when he ran into a porky. Well i never had a chance to break him and he killed it, and it was a big one. I mean slung guts all over the place. He had quills in every place you can imagine, testicles, eyeballs yes eyeballs....not good he had to be put down. Most plotts and I have owned dozens of them but my a$$ they are little grippers compared to this he man hunk of a big game hound but he was put down by a rodent....So be careful

Yup, that sounds like one hell of a hound you lost there Mike--sorry to hear it! But I guess that's why I was a little rough on my Maverick dog yesterday because I don't want him blind and useless before he makes a finished bear hound..........
