Why do you do it???

Why do we do it?? It's not for the money thats for sure!! First time i heard that ole blue tick treed and grandad said grab your boots and come on. Got down to the bottom and had a 20lb coon treed then he asked if i wanted to see a fight not knowing what he was talking about he started scratching the tree and squawking coon jumped out and that blue caught it in the air and for sure the fight was on! Just being proud that ole blue did that all by her self she was just a pet. From then on you couldn't get me out of the river bottoms. Pellet gun and dog and be gone all day at 12-13 years old. Seeing the pride and the change in the dogs as they get the prize. That's it for the DOGS and the love of the woods.
