We will get to run some hounds and curs? Might bring my Bluetick, He'll put a black bear up n pull hare to do it. He ain't afraid of grizz' either. Do ya'll use flack jackets when ya run hogs?

Man you would have loved running my pack of Plotts! They would bay hogs in the daytime, tree coon, fox, bobcats, bears at night... and one night something else...but at that time they didn't exist according to Arkansas Game and fish! :msp_rolleyes:
If yer bluetick is really cold nosed you could just coon hunt hunt with him. Cold nosed dogs aren't really excellent where there a tons of hogs, they can"t figure anything out, need a hot nosed dog for that. Yes I have kevlar vest and cut collars I run on anything mean...
If ya want to invision what kind of area I live in, watch the movie "Winter's Bone". Despite the fact it was actually shot in Southern Missouri..which is really close...it gives a pretty accurate portrayal of "right here". Not so much my place but I could drive you up the road and you would think you were on set. I could drive you across the river and you would hide in the floor board! LOL! Seriously!
We should try and make it happen....pretty far off to make plans yet though LOL!

Yeh it's white oak. It sorta looks like a tree grew over and around a stump and the stump burned out,

twochains-It will be at least Jan., on acct. of them slithery things ya'll got down there. If hidin' on the floor board has to do w/ cities, you are probably right. I don't think a dog from up here will be able to smell to pee down there for a coupla weeks or so. A Mt. dry ground hound would be hard to smell at first. We houndsman up here are trending to hotter nosed, closed mouth on track dogs up here on acct. of the new "subsistence food removal equipment "(wolves) or fine Uncle Sam introduced to the lower 48. I personally know of 5 dogs that got killed last year. These wolves are Grays, which is more like a timber wolf on steroids. Maybe you should come up here and run some 'bobs and lion in the snow. And saw some 65-?% yarder logs. ..... We will have to plan something, that's for sure. I think the funnest thing would be arranging an "AS GTG" that way several of us could have fun....... If there is already one I'd like to know about it. Saws, dogs, guns, and poles. Oh, and did i mention I like beer?

Clint- Or western wood up here will burn-out like that and some will heal. Like a yella'pine. It is a very fire hardy tree. But they always stay burnt looking to a default. Can hardwoods heal up clean W/ new bark and all if a fire just burnt threw? as I have mentioned before, I don't know a hole lot about hardwoods, just was wondering?

Hey. Never realized some of you were hounds men. My old walker died a few years back and I haven't had another since. Ran her on coon spring through fall and bobcat in winter. She was a bang in coon hound out of the sackett blood. Miss her a lot now that I think of her. Her name was Echo

I dont know... I havent run it yet. The guy that owns the yard is fussy about who runs his machines. So I just run the chipper remote. Takes the fun out of it really. The chipper will go to auto feed if she starts to bog down for the most part. Sometimes I have to manually back the wood up if it has fresh knives in it, that thing will literally suck the wood down fast than what the feed works will feed it. Been training another guy on it too. I want to go home soon not be stuck here. I dont know how well this is all going to work out. The wood supplier cant bring in enough wood lately with the rain and the customer is freaking out because they arent getting enough chips. I last load I ran was 100,400 lbs.... I dont want to do that again...

76 and sunny here, more of the same Tommorow, this sucks..:cool2::hmm3grin2orange:
this is weird the east coast is whining about being all wet, and out here in the temperate rain forest its so dry I'm starting to get bloody noses... and I might have to change the air filter on the missus... gods forbid... should be able to get a decade out of that thing...
On a lighter note I broke the main line and a choker on a little doug fir today... longest drag of my life...

Used to have 17 fully trained hounds. Was heading into govt. and private ADC work. My ex wasn't my ex then and i stayed back for the sack of the family. Big mistake in some ways, a gift in others. Never been around the Sackett line. Yadkin Tar rattler, House's Chief, and Finely River is what i think most of my walker dogs were. I am a runnin' Cameron Bluetick right now. I'd tell ya how good he is but i learned a while back not to brag about 'em till they are dead.LOL.
