Man I hate to hear about the hardships there. I’m glad you got some dogs out of him. At 6 years old, was he showing any signs of slowing down any yet?

My wife’s hands look like that all the time but it’s because she’s always banging them on my Angelic head. I’ve tried telling her that the good Lord encompassed all that wisdom in a hard case, but she’s impulsive and forgets.

Thanks everyone. The only downside to that trip was coming home. Andy would stress to me that we would get up at 4:30.  I was always up at 3:45 or 4:00 am. It takes me longer to collar up dogs and to get ready.
  If I want things to go wrong, all I have to do is leave town. My dog Yellow got loose and I had pictures of him headed out the driveway. He came up to a guys house around 2:00pm and he called me. He lives about 2 miles north of me. We dont hunt to close to my house because the hogs always run north and the club's boundary is about 3/4 of a mile north of me .  I called Cheryl and she went and got him. Well she does not know enough about dogs to tell that he was having a heat stroke and she put him up. Anyway when she came out to feed him about three hours later, he was dead. He was 6 years old. Fortunately I have several dogs off of him.
  Then a couple days before I came home my better half Cheryl gets snake bit while cleaning out a old doghouse. She was wearing gloves and jerked her hand back when she felt the bite and heard it rustling in the hay. When she pulled her glove off there was only one puncture that had a few drops of blood. My daughter drove her to the hospital where she received 3 doses of Crofab anti venom and she spent 2 days in the hospital.

Hollowpoint there use to be a guy across the river here that hunted blue Lacey find dogs and Airedale catch dogs. He claimed he didn’t run a vest on the Airedales and that the only one he ever got cut was one that he shaved on summer. He thought he was helping the dog stay cooler by getting rid of all that hair but instead made it susceptible to getting cut. He claimed that dog was the first and last one he ever had cut. He thought it was because of the hair. What’s your thoughts on it? I have zero experience with those type of dogs.

Lol that’s not at all what I was doing. I was giving the option of alternative phrasing!

Mav ain’t fat, he built like a boar hog. Carries the weight where it counts.

Don't you be starting number 2 T.

Sounds like a good time but I am not sure I could hang with y'all. Hunting everyday will get you in shape or kill you. That's a fine bunch of plotts.

Tdog, if your butterfly net gets too damaged let me know, my grandkids left one here I’ll send you.

Thanks t dog, I agree everyone seems to have a style that suits them. Hunting the rough dogs was how I learnt back in my younger days, so I guess I’m used to it. I just know when they get one stopped, I have a greater sense of urgency to get there to back them up. Good bay dogs get one stopped, you can leisurely stroll to the bay while sipping sweet tea and watching butterflies. And that sounds pretty good to me, as old as I am I should be doing it that way.

I like mine not getting cut up very often, the 2 I got now have only been cut when i hunt them with my buddies jags, and not bad at that.

Those jagds will cause a riot wherever they go if they’re hot, I run those Aussie style running vests on mine, and so far to this point I haven’t had any big cuts. It’s always in the back of my mind though.

Hollowpoint, that leisurely stroll isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be either. I have a little net for catching those butterflies and guarantee you that sucker is going to get hung up on every briar it possibly can.

Make-‘em-squeel your dogs have those brains working for them. Pretty hard to trump brains.
