Noah, i would have to disagree with you on that. I know a lot of dayworkers who have some sure enough good dogs. Here at lykes it is just one person that is making the decision in the way dogs are used and who gets to carry dogs. The foreman on my crew actually does have some decent dogs, but they don't get to be used to their full potential when his boss isn't around.

Lykes is a funky bunch to work for any way, do they still make you ride their horses? Used to they wouldn't even let you bring your own horse...just saddle / bridle, etc.
I know a few guys that still have some of the old rough curr dogs but they are South of the Lake in Devils Gardens...that is about the only place any more you seem to find those that love roping dick cattle more than anything else lol and their dogs will go and find them, they are nearly impossible to get a dog off of as well - you just have to catch them on a 'good day' and know them well for them even to consider it.
A few of them are even like that about their horses too.
