Very nice Craig. I like that paint mule. Im looking at a yearling that is bred and made up just like that mule. For hunting there just aint nothign better than a good mule. They will take care of themselves and by doing so they take care of the rider also... I Love me some mules i have 8 total... 4 that are my riding mules and four that we race... the race mules are a bit smaller but are some salty lil coon hunting mules too! and will get you there in a hurry!  Grin We squirrel and coon hunt a ton off of the riding mules and it will flat out spoil you. shoot me a message with your email if you can post pics easily on here and ill email you some of mine to post if you dont mind...

I went and visited this man a few years ago and found him to be very knowledgeable and friendly.  We rode for a few hours and I ended up leaving without a mule but not because I didn't like the one I was riding.  I would go back and look at what he has again, do any of yall know this man?

I love mules and I LOVED riding the mule, it was like the difference between riding a old honda civic and riding in a new caddilac.  We rode straight up a gravel hill that was every bit of 40 feet tall on the side of a RR bridge and the only difference is I had to lean forward a little and the same coming back down.  The only thing that scares me is that they are smarter than I am  Grin

Good lookers Krystal,yours too Craig. Craig,have you seen the two Clue has been riding hog hunting?  I love to hunt of a mule more than anything,I love the peace and quiet and the way they learn to get me to the tree or bay w/o me doin much. I kinda have the room for one but I am sure it will be a few more years till I can have one.

There's a hog huntin dude in grapeland named henry who has some mules priced right. Last I spoke to him, he had two mollies who were being hunted off of priced at like $500 each. One was older and more experienced- I wanna say had been packed in colorado. The other was younger and needed some more miles but gonna be a fine mule.

Looks like I'll be hunting off a short eared mule named cooper  Smiley

Chris
 thanks for posting that pic for me , i couldnt find any of Brother and Nuby
i know i took some pictures in colorado but they where all on those throw a way cameras so i will try get the wife to scan them for me.
 we need to get you on a real mule and you wont go back to that gas powered one  Grin

lightinin
 im might not be much better than you at getting those pitures posted, maybe Chris could do it for us.
 i would figure you would have some big running bred race mules.
 so the little mules work better for the racing you do.
 i guess you make clinton every year?
 i have never been able to make it maybe next year.
do you make any of the all mule rides over in Ark. ?

 matt
 you should have been able to find 3 or 4 mules out of that line up stephensranch looks like they sale alot of mules.

muleman
 you have to have a picture of a mule.

krystal
 i dint know you guys are into showing mules
 thats cool , you guys have some nice mules and donkeys there, i relly like the little one with your neice.

 Bryant
 thanks Bryant, that paint mule is pretty but she was a winch  Grin
 i havent seen clues mules , im going to see clue this weekend.  ill take a look at them then.
 
 mandi
 you and cooper do just fine  Wink

Craig, I have pics that i will post as soon as I'm home long enough. I cant view or post pics on here from the office for some reason. I have several mules still, even though i lost my old mule a few months ago. Even my kids have mules. i'll post some pics of them also. Great post on my favorite subject! i have a mule that my daughter is riding right now. kinda spotted mare mule that i will probably be selling when i find the right horse for my daughter. This mule will make an awsome hunting mule and will definitely be cheap enough. I have never hunted on any of my mules but i would like to do that soon. none of the guys i hunt with ride so i havent had the opportunity.

That is a good picture of the family Craig.  You need to get a picture of Nuby and Brother together, they look like a fine pair.  Does Mrs. Loftin like to ride the mules or is she just being a good sport  Grin
