Old Mens advice Vs Young Mens reason.

[J.Prince]

My daddy got snake bit in 1907 by a copperhead at about 5:00 in the evening. All they did is put coal oil (kerosene or no 1 diesel) on it because the doctor did not get there until after 9:00 that night. That is all they had. His hand, arm, and entire left side of his body swelled up (he was 5 at the time) and the doctor really could not and did not do anything. He finally got OK.

My buddy's great grandfather who is closing in on a hundred now has always told us that kerosene is a cure all

I guess it works I've always been to big of a wuss to try it though. Lol

best piece of advice an old timer gave me was to always keep a open mind and a closed mouth when somene was giving you a piece of advice, it was up to you to use it later on if you wanted....i have found that it works wonders i could sit for hours and talk to old timers and swap stories and remedies....best thing i ever did was use that piece of advice as my motto for everything, whenver someone is telling me something i listen and then think about this persons personal experiences and what kind of reputation he and his dogs have and listen to things that worked and dint work for each individual and try to piece together the best game plan possible for me im always swapping stuff up and trying new techniques the PROVEN tchniques these old timers have used with success over the years and as of right have assembled a decent pack of dogs and learned to exploit each dog for their own unique talents that each brings to the table and cant say its ever been better and ive bee hoghunting going on ten years now and just now fnaly starting to make things click and making sense of things

Pore kerosene on a bleeding cut and it will burn for just a little bit but you won't get an infection or lock jaw. At least that is how I remember it back then...

My wife and I used to buy hound pups from an old man in Cushing Oklahoma years back when we first got married. He always had a yard full of hounds tied out. I asked him some questions once about his breeding program and he laughed me off and said he would unsnap a gyp when she was in heat and leave all the males tied out and what ever male she bred to so be. His pups always did make good hounds to, he also let pups run loose until they started treeing on there own, that was his training program for the first year or so, after that he would trash break them or sell them to men who hunted what ever the hound preferred, be it deer dogs, coyotes what ever. He sowre by the idea of letting the gyp choose her own male, kinda like the gyp picking the strongest pup out of a litter, maybe something to there old ways?

One of grandpa's old cowboys was rambling on to me and I did not have a clue what he was saying. So I just kept saying "yes sir" when he stopped talking. Finally he walked off and my grandpa came over. My grandpa told me that the old cowboy was a hard worker but did not have a lick of sense. Then he thanked me for treating the old cowboy with respect. To me I do my best to not be rude even if they don't make sense. Just the other day I was getting way outdated advice but I listened anyway and I actually learned something. Wisdom is not the same as smart. You can get smart by reading books and stuff but wisdom takes time and experience. There is no fast wisdom. I can listen and get smart but wisdom comes with knots on the head and just plain hurts sometimes.

Awesome thought. I actually have heard the exact same practice but used in fighting chickens. Let you hens run loose on the yard and let them pic the rooster. Very interesting idea.
