  Yeah, we have done lots of that sort of thing together and he is good savvy help, was right where I thought he'd be given the circumstance.

That’s a good read. Sounds like you and Adam have that chemistry together that sure makes things flow as opposed to working with someone for the first time. Those deer hunters though, man they sure can make themselves look foolish. Just as easily as y’all did that, it could’ve been done much sooner and then a neighbor wouldn’t have had to worry about that ole greyish/blue cow being mistaken by a trigger happy city slicker for a deer. Depending on what she was bred to, the calf that she likely got over in there to have in hiding will probably be about that color too. We all know cattle are high dollar right now.

I've been doing too much posting, I figure everybody is for some new meat.

  A couple of weeks ago I got a call to go find and catch a cow for a fellow. He said she was in a deer lease and had been since November but they wouldn't let him try to get her until deer season was over. Since season was over they had tried to get her but couldn't keep up with her in the brush and he'd heard I had dogs. I told him we'd give her a try so we set a time to meet, we got there and he had drawn me a map showing me how his place and the deer lease laid. He cut the fence in a corner of the deer lease onto his place, and told us she was usually in the far corner from here, He said maybe you can drive her back through here, he didn't think she could be roped in there where she was. I turned a couple of dogs out and told him we'd be back after while. We went looking for her, got over to the far nw corner and didn't locate her so we started to the east the dogs went to trailing rather than winding (I'd already had to tone them back as they had winded some cows on the next place over and gotten to them before I knew they were out of pocket) anyway they bayed her just off a big old pond there in the brush that had beaver holes all in, I could barely pick my way across the dam. They'd also dammed up the overflow making a big slough or swamp and dogs were bayed just off that in thick brush. She was a Charolais/Angus looking cow heavy bred, and the instant she saw me she broke but didn't get far and was bayed again repeat the process a couple of more times. I had saw Adam a few minutes before and figured he heard the dogs and would be set up on a small opening to the west where we'd came from, I got her punched out of the thicket right in his lap, he pitched a rope on her. I put a rope on her as well and dallied her up real short so she couldn't get behind me, her being muley I kept her right at my stirrup, Adam got behind her and we lead her a little over a mile to the pen. We were real careful not to choke her or stress her since she was so heavy bred, she cooperated real well, the old fellow was happy, he said you'all have her leading like a show cow, all's well that ends well.  It don't always go that smooth.

 We are patiently waiting for some Marsh Hunt stories and pictures, that's an annual event.

Grant I sent you a message

Sounds like those young dogs are really putting the effort in. Real good hunt.

The jowl really is not a bad place to catch and I am like you, I do not want one on the ear.

Ive been out of dogos for a while now but my buddy just got a nice female to breed those pups we have off grip to. both the males you gave me and there 2 sons were using now are solid. If you want a pup from the future breeding ill let you know

I don't know if he is a pit or a staff.
