Title: he's a keeper Post by: tnhillbilly on August 16, 2011, 08:56:30 pm http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid655.photobucket.com/albums/uu277/tnhillbilly/VID_20110816_090426.mp4
(http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu277/tnhillbilly/IMG_20110816_090352-1.jpg) (http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu277/tnhillbilly/IMG_20110816_091038.jpg) Hit the woods this morning, it was a cool 59 deg. But didn't take long to warm up when that Sun popped out, plus crawling and climbing up and down these mtns, in this THICK mtn laurel. Unloaded dogs, and started walking. Didn't take long and found a track. Dogs left out runnin sounding good, pups and all. One of my plott pups was a first time in the woods and made half the race. Not even a yr old. My young male plott sure made me proud this Morning. Struck with the old dog, made the whole race, and was hammering when I finally got to them 2+ mi. And several ridges later. Little bluetick gyp was at the tree but aint quite figured out whats going on yet. The blk n tan is everything the man said he was, just took a couple weeks to get him used to me and my dogs, and to get back in shape after setting on chain. I am one wore out old fat bear Hunter, lol this bear hunting aint for the faint of heart, there aint no in between, you'll either love it, or you'll hate it. I was so pumped when i finally got to them, but was mad as heck, by the time I got out, leading two dogs, two plus mi. Back out, LOL thru all that mess, some of the thickest ive seen. hope ya'll enjoy. Title: Re: he's a keeper Post by: buddybegone on August 16, 2011, 09:03:09 pm now that was pretty

I've had the local bear hunters tell me they do this so they can run him again... and comin' from the source I tend to believe it ... might actually like to try it myself one of these days!!! ;D
Title: Re: he's a keeper Post by: tnhillbilly on August 16, 2011, 10:21:07 pm No need to poke them out, all you have to do is tie the dogs back off the tree, and they will shoot right down. Thats what we do, and then turn them back loose. Real good way to train pups.
Noah, your more than welcome to come up anytime. Reuben, I dont have a good pack yet, but im working on it. This new dog is gonna give me that little edge I have been lacking. "Tree" Title: Re: he's a keeper Post by: SCHitemHard on August 16, 2011, 11:16:55 pm wow tom i deff know what im missin, would be funny to watch you climb a tree to poke em out, glad that black and tan is workin i like that dog

Title: Re: he's a keeper Post by: chainrated on August 17, 2011, 08:47:53 am Nice video, Tom.. That plott sounds like a cur dog...
Title: Re: he's a keeper Post by: shankem on August 17, 2011, 09:20:31 am good deal! Sounds like tough huntin but worth it. Congrats
Title: Re: he's a keeper Post by: firemedic on August 17, 2011, 09:59:07 am Well....neither computer that I own will play the video >:( It says that i don't have the right 'codec' installed. Oh well,....figures that I wouldn't. I'm glad that the dog is gonna do what he's supposed to Tom. It's been awhile since I've heard a good bunch of hounds treeing on a big ole' bear. I may have to come up and check this new dog out here before long. Y'all going back anymore this week? If so, I hope you tree another one, that's really good for your young dogs. If I get to come up and go with you, you can video me climbing up and poking the bear out so Noah can see how it's done.... ;D
Title: Re: he's a keeper Post by: ujustneverknow on August 17, 2011, 10:58:18 am Good hunt... I plan to b in the woods by Sunday hope I can get one treed! Lol good job
Title: Re: he's a keeper Post by: big D on August 17, 2011, 12:27:06 pm oh heck yeah i want to go lol
Title: Re: he's a keeper Post by: tnhillbilly on August 17, 2011, 03:37:41 pm Thanks chain, he sure does, sounds like that on track too. You cur fellers would hate him, he will pull dogs to him from 1/2 a mile away. LOL but thats what you want bear hunting, when your tryin to pack more dogs in.
Shankem, its bout as tough as it gets, better pack dinner when you leave the truck, and im being serious. Neal, dont you have a smart phone? Cant you watch video on your phone? You know your welcome here anytime friend. It would be an honor to video you poking one out. LOL. Title: Re: he's a keeper Post by: tnhillbilly on August 17, 2011, 03:42:39 pm Good hunt... I plan to b in the woods by Sunday hope I can get one treed! Lol good job Good luck, I hope ya'll tree a bunch. Im very interested to here how them curs do, I been kicking the idea around, to take mine, but the one I was going to take came in heat.be sure and take plenty of pics. Title: Re: he's a keeper Post by: firemedic on August 17, 2011, 03:51:20 pm Well Tom.....I tried to view it on my phone but no luck ........it says the content is not supported on this phone. Now that's aggravating...... >:( so I guess I'll just wait. Pics look good though ....may have to come up and chase a biggun with you bud. Glad that dog is what you hoped he was.....good luck with him.
Title: Re: he's a keeper Post by: tnhillbilly on August 18, 2011, 02:47:48 am Come on up, you watch that video and you'll be lookin for some hounds, LOL
Title: Re: he's a keeper Post by: Bump on August 18, 2011, 09:37:56 am Bring em down to Kerville.....they have bears down there. ;D
Title: Re: he's a keeper Post by: firemedic on August 18, 2011, 07:24:22 pm Well Tom I got to watch the video on another phone this morning.....I know now why you're so tickled with the Plott pup....he did good. The new dog is gonna be what you're looking for I'm thinking. Good bear too.
Title: Re: he's a keeper Post by: tnhillbilly on August 18, 2011, 08:42:31 pm Thanks Neal, I really like this line of plotts. I cant wait til his 1/2 older sister gets healed back up, probly another week at least.
these dogs just have the right genetics, seems like all you have to do is turn them loose and they know what to do. Just have to fine tune them. I wasn't too sure about the new dog first few times I took him out, but he is coming along just fine, and is a real tree dog which was what I was looking for. Ive got the bear fever again. LOL. Llooks like im going back to hounds, so there will be some curs for sale. ;D |
