Clue, are you still using Termidor for Ticks?

  I have hunted the coast of No. Carolina and the reason they grow such big bear is agricultural. Pretty thick terrain but plenty of bear.

Thanks Teaspoon, I have used the Conserve for 7=8 years but the last two it doesn't seem as effective and has done nothing for ticks.

T dog that was before the internet so didnt really know where else to look and at that point I was well into bear hunting with Plotts.

  What is everyone using for Fleas and Tick prevention. I was using Conserve SC but it doesn't seem to be as effective.

No TDog, sure didnt. Had a Grandson of Dawg and he was a pretty fair dog but never reproduced himself.

I just listened to it and have to apologize. The reception on my end was not that great.
  Those cur dogs came out of Abita Springs, La. and they were Catahoula Curs. Those guys had cows and hogs in the woods and had about gotten rid of all their dogs. I was shoeing a horse for Sal Smith and noticed a few cur dogs hanging around and asked him about them. He said they were all that was left of his Dad's dogs that he used on cows and hogs. He had a young blue leopard about 8 months that he offered me and said he was going to keep the parents. The Dam of the pup was a blue leopard and the sire was a yellow brindle.Those dogs were leggy lean built dogs not at all like the heavier built Catahoulas seen today. Anyway I took him and he made a real dog that had unbelievable stamina and a real good nose. I had gotten a gyp from Robert Hobgood( She was a Mason bred dog) and bred them. One of those was one of the ones that stayed bayed so long. He was a Yellow brindle like his Grandsire. Named him Couger and the other one was a Blackmouth cur that was a 1/4 treeing Walker named Hank.

No problem at all. Hope y'all enjoy it.

 Y'all have been having some good hunts for the young dogs. That is what makes them. Good luck on the bulldogs.

  Glad you got your dogs back. Garmin is good as long as they are working. I was running tag along collars but they finally went dead. I have to send them off and get them refurbished.

  Made a hunt with Larry Smith, Charles Gainse, and Highwater and his son Wes joined us Saturday. We got beat by about as many ways as you can get beat by a hog. Charley had two dogs bayed 450 yards across some backwater and we just couldnt get to them with a bulldog. He finally toned them out. Ran two other hogs out of the club and had to tone them out. Ran one Boar most of the day and he would bay up, then break and did this most of the day and then he headed across the river and we caught the dogs. Finally got on one boar that stayed put and we caught him. I know the dogs put well over 20 miles on Saturday.
  Sunday put on a feeder and the dogs caught a shoat, then relayed out and had to tone dogs off as they crossed out of the lease. About 11:00 we found a good track and put on it. dogs trailed out and bayed him in his bed. Went in and turned bulldogs loose and hog broke. Only ran about 200 yards and bayed again but broke again right when we turned the bulldogs loose. He went right back to where he bayed the first time and the bulldogs caught him.  We are pretty sure this was the hog we were on yesterday that would bay and break. Anyway had a good time with good people and some wore out dogs.

Thanks Leone.

  I ran my 2017 Honda 700 hot. low on oil. It really smokes and really burns oil. Other then that it runs great. Does it need a new set of Rings or a total rebuild? Is it worth doing it?  Thanks for any info.

  Larry Smith, Charley Gainse, his Grandson Brock and myself made a round today. We were hunting the high ground today. It felt good to have solid footing under your feet. I dont know where the hogs went but we covered a huge area before we found a decent track around 10:00 or so. Put the dogs out and they trailed out and jumped. Normally these hogs run and this boar had it on his mind but for whatever reason he hit open woods instead of staying in the cutover. Dogs smoked him in about as fast a race as you can have for 20 minutes and bayed him right on the edge of a road. Turned the bulldog loose from 50 yards and caught hog.

L to R  Yellow, Cypress and Showtime. Hank is normally on the left but he needed a little time off.  Mt of my dogs rig, some better then others. I know it is really hot when my bulldog starts whining. Yes down there the gators are really bad.

  Highwater  has bragged on my dogs but his dogs and his son Wesley's dogs were there every step with my dogs. You will never ever meet nicer people then Highwater and his son Wesley. It has been a absolute pleasure hunting with them and hope to make future trips as well. You never have to worry about them or tell them where to go. They will be where the dogs and hogs are. I wish we didnt live so far apart. Shoot I would like to adopt both of them but that Wesley sure eats a lot. I would have to put him on a straight Pork diet. lol Wesley, my son travis abnd Grandson Ethen make a heck of a team and Highwater and I didnt hardley leave the boat but let those young guys go thru the mud and slop and bring the hogs back. I think we caught 6 and had a couple of real nice races. my buddy Charley, Lucas and his son were also on the hunt and yes the gators were out.

Those are some good hogs. We have been seeing some gators here but has not quite been warm enough for them to be active yet.

  Made a good round with Wesley Wiley and Craig Hartzod. Dogs all did good and all hogs were caught with Plotts. Dont think we used the bulldog at all. Hat to say it but we worked Wesley pretty hard but that man can pull.

Pretty good outing there except for the old dog. Hope he recovers. The one good thing about getting on Shoats is, it is good to teach the young dogs how to relay.
