Than you Cajun, that pic does not disappoint.

Cajun my interest in plotts got peeked again recently after listening to a couple of podcasts. One of the hunters is a Cuban guy in Georgia and the other is Bob Plott, both guys had a wealth of information. I’d like to see more pics of the dog in that pic, i really like his looks.

The only plott I had I got from Star Mountain in the mid 90’s, young gyp. I tried to make her a coon dog. I wish she turned out better, the one thing she could do was smash a coon by herself. She lacked in the track, trail and treeing departments unfortunately.

Good results in tough conditions, the clay soil here is so dry I’ve got cracks a car could fall into in my yard.

Definitely showed those blokes a good time, you guys wracked up a good body count on the hogs too.

I sure think we did. We wore them hogs out. Make sure you get with Thomas on you coming back next year. We will get together and make a run around us.

Much appreciated, I’ll most likely be down there in the next month or so.

A little update, when I built the dog box for my truck 7 years ago I just used some barrel bolts. Well they wore out and weren’t working so well anymore, so I ordered two more of the spring pin latches. I had to cut and grind the old ones off and make some brackets to mount the new latch pins on. Took the dogs out this morning and the doors stayed closed the whole way and back.





Stop laughing at my welding, I’ve got feelings you know.

Also t dog, I put wood filler and fiberglass resin on the plywood top for the buggy cage. Pics to follow.

Lol she’s a pretty little thing!

Thanks t dog, I hope she hunts as well as she looks.

Been spending my time getting my young gyp lined out on the preferred target species around here, I just about got her broke of of everything else. 

Hollowpoint I like those latches. They look nice and work well too. I built a box for Rednose and his cat dogs. He’s bougie though and had to have the slam latches. I won’t lie, they looked good and they are nice too.

T dog, we all got our ways about us for sure, I’m not judging because I’m just as bad sometimes. Anyways I posted a link to the eBay page where I bought the latches to save on shipping. So far so good, I’m liking them I have another set on the way.

Hollow those are nice latches. I think I need to get one to put on my SxS since I broke the latch off of it.

This is an update, I bought another set of two for the cage in my truck. But I remember I bought them from their eBay page, it saves you $10.00 in shipping instead of buying from their web site. Lord knows I’ll try to save where I can with prices of everything the way they are.

T dog I was telling my neighbors when the temps dropped into the 80’s I was going to start wearing my hoodie.

I like them so far, they won’t break the bank either. I need to get two more for my truck box, those barrel bolts I used initially are about wore out and not dependable.

Also, I’m posting a link of where I bought the spring pull pins. T handle just for you t dog.

I saw a stack of those yesterday, I’ll go back and have a closer look.

Thanks t dog I appreciate the kind words, I haven’t treated the plywood with anything yet. I was thinking of a coat of primer and then paint. But now I think about it, I might try some stain instead to see how that works out.

First project was the kennel I had to build, next order of business was to make a dog box for the buggy. Just sharing this because there might be something that someone can use to help in their program. My welding has fallen off to embarrassing levels, I need to go to school for that. Now I just need to add pork.

Cajun, I put my pics on https://postimages.org/. It’s a hosting site, then just copy the code for forum and paste the code in your post.

Sulphur, OK, only been here 9 months so just getting started. Learning the layout of the public land nearest me but will be exploring some of the other areas. I do hunt in the Hondo, Ozona areas, not afraid to travel to hunt. I’m getting older and want to take advantage of however many birthdays I have left in front of me.

I’ve used a few different knives, the one I’m using now is the Aussie tassie tiger. That thing is really good at getting into the oil pump ad opening up the drain plug.
