My mentor called me first thing this morning to confirm our hunt opening day. It’s gonna be the usual suspects so it’ll be a good time. He also said he just got a 2 year old female plott and wants me to be involved with training so I’m excited about that. Also mentioned he wants me loading/unloading dogs like I did last time and of course chasing the hounds in the woods. Can’t wait gonna be a blast

There isn’t anything like a young dog when they do good. On the other hand there isn’t anything that will make your hair turn the color of mine like one when they have those teenage days.

My next to the last one was absolutely gifted and never gave me a minutes trouble as far as stupid stuff. She was a little aggravating over being an over achiever but she was so much fun she caused me to eat my words and I now have a younger one that as well has been much much easier that most pups. Had I not just been through his sister he would be by far my best young one on record. But I have had some that have almost driven me nuts over the years. A couple in my early years I even gave up on that knowing what I do now I shouldn’t. Also a couple I didn’t that knowing what I do now I should have.

Thought this might be a skirl hunting thread 😁

We are ready for Monday too. Wanted to get in one last run before the rains come. Will be my dogs 2nd year, she just turned 2 back in July.

Lots of squirrels this year, she struck 'em real good on sight, held the tree and lit it up pretty dang good this evening. Treed a couple in short time. She knows what I expect her to do for sure now, hope we dont hit too many bone-headed moments this year.

Good luck to ya @YanceyGreenhorn. Hope y'all kill some, been seeing lots of bear lately. Keep up with me, I may have a spot or 2 out towards Green Mtn/Pigeon Roost y'all can turn out in late season....

My older hounds know it's near, when we pulled into the dog barn yesterday afternoon with 2 trucks to load them up for the to the hunting camp they got a little rowdy. When I pulled down to the dog pens at the camp this morning all 32 of them were standing at the wire ready to go.

I love hearing that. If I remember correctly, I think we should have about 16-20 on the ground tomorrow. A few are pups that will stay with me on leads as we hike to the tree. Plenty of experienced dogs too tho. Nice assortment of walkers, plotts, English, blues, and a few mixes of those mentioned above. Can’t wait

I run 10 at a time so those that run on Monday will not run again until Thursday, got two really good young hounds that are doing everything they are suppose to do but they have never been in on a kill going to take one Monday and the other one Tuesday to see what happens. One is a cross between a B/T and a Bloodhound I haven't run a cross in a long time but I really think he is going to be an outstanding bear hound.

Better get a kennel ready. That young plott will probably be yours. We tried to earn you 🤣

I did him one better. Someone contacted me about 2 nice shingled dog houses they’re getting rid of. I grabbed em for him and he’s on his way to get em now. Free of charge of course !
