EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

No I didn't get to go hunting, but we went up to the bro-in-law and spent the weekend crabbing and salmon fishing in Puget Sound. I feel like I can crack crab in my sleep. We ate fresh crab, crab louie,crab and asparagus omelettes and smoked salmon. I have salmon in the smoker and I bet some makes it to Texas at the end of the month. I love living in Washington but I love coming to Texas. I am coming down for the ADBA National Weight Pull and Show on OCT 1 & 2. I am working to finish a hand made knife to raffle. If I was any kind of computer literate I would post a pic but it has me whipped. Anyway it will be a short trip but I will get to see a bunch of my bulldoggin buddies.

 Ive been dying to go crabbing. I haven't been in about 5 years. Love some big blues. Did yall use a line or a trap?

We use traps up here. Can only keep males and the minimum size is 6.5" across the back. I have walked threw the tall grass in waist deep water and felt them with your foot then pulled them up with a home made net. Dang near as redneck as noodlin.

Joel here is the pic of your  knife.  Man that is a nice nice knife.  Hey were is that ADBA deal going to be at ?

man what i would do for a bucket of blues and a bucket of steamed oysters, charleston was the life when i was there

Joel how much one of them knifes cost me with a 10 - 12 in blade ???? You can send me a email if you want.  I sure am thinking about showing up for that ADBA show been a long long time since I seen a ton of my old friends.

Jimmy I have never sold one and I have never made one with a blade that long. I might have to try sometime but I know it gets tougher to keep all your ducks in a row when you go bigger. I have give a few away and donated them. Some of the money raised went to fighting that BS kennel law y'all got this year. But the show will be in Cleburne on Oct. 1 & 2.

Well if you get the itch to make one that long like a Bowie holler at me and let me know bout how much I need to send to get you to make me one.  Didnt you make one for Nathans wife Kelly one time and gave it to her ?

No I didn't make one for her, I didn't want to be responsible for what she might do to him  ;D

hahaahahahahahahaahhahahah it might have been the Georgia boys that made it I cant remember.

Do you show or weight pull yours or both? What bloodline dogs are you running?

I show, but this is about the end of showing as I disagree with alot going on. Weight pull is about the worst thing that happened to the pit bull. But it's fun to watch. The good dogs pull their guts out. I have run Jeep/Rascal/Redboy for some time but I bred to a Carver bred dog from Texas on my last breeding. I also have a little BLK Cowboy mixed in. Used to run Tonka/Bolio but they were number 2ty brood bitches and I don't have time for that. I judged for over 20 yrs and won a couple Nationals but I'm kinda thinkin I want to spend my money and energy hog hunting.

I showed for a while with some Eli/Carver stuff. I agree about the weight pulling being horrible for the pitbull in general. I think that is why so many people breed and want huge pitbull dogs. I have some Jeep/Redboy stuff as well as some Jeep/Redboy/Carver stuff. I also have some Redboy/Jocko and some Redboy/Jocko/Eli. I have a little 32lb bitch that's off of my Redboy/Jocko/Eli male bred to a Plumber's Alligator female. I have a Boyle's/Carver male that is one hell of a good dog. Which Carver stuff.did you breed to.

Ibred to TLK's Musket dog. Inbred off Lil Man and Miss Kim. You can see him at Texas Legacy Kennels site.

He is a nice bred dog. This is the per for one of my females. http://www.apbt.online-pedigrees.com/modules.php?name=Public&file=printPedigree&dog_id=238833

She is a well bred bitch. One of the sons of Musket and my Snipper bitch is now in Georgia working as a RCD. He has killed 4 hogs. It would make me nervous turning on out like that. The dog is 55# and can outrun the curs.

Some folks on this board keep saying that pitbulls need something crossed into them to give them more wind and speed. Overtime I see it I try to explain that if they get the right pitbull dogs that there is no need to cross anything else into them. I don't imagine I could just turn one out and let it run with the curs, with my luck all I would have when I got to where the hog was caught is a dead dog and hog.

Back about a month ago I lost a heavy Andy Capp bred dog. He was a very very good dog. He was 38 pounds and as driven as they come and as game as you can get. Lol

I have a bitch that is out of a son of Andy Cap bred to a daughter of Indian Moon and Tonka bear. Good ol game bitch but won't raise a pup. She is 10 I think and healthy as a horse. Ready to back up to a male but doesn't want anything to do with pups. Kinda like some of those welfare mommas.
