This is cool stuff!!!! I lived in Indiantown when I was little. My Grandma was a lunch lady at the elementary school. My Mom's oldest brother was Homer Wall....He started a lumber business by cutting cypress fence post out of the Corbet area. My Grandady on the other side worked groves..he is an Odom as am I. I moved to Alabma 25 yrs ago and have been hog hunting with plotts for about 15 or so years. When I was growing up, almost everybosy had a cur dog in there yard. Some were red, ring neck, black n tan, but they all were hands. I been looking for one for some time just to ride in my truck. Them things all would handle like my youngins are suppose to. I can remember cow hunting and I was to little to do anything but get in the way. But when they got them cows penned the dogs would go lay under the trailer. If they had trouble putting one in the trailer or something they would call 1 dog by name and use it to help. The other dogs may not even pick their heads up. Thats good stuff

Hey Heat... I luv that to hear them stories... years ago all the fences were built with cypress or Liter post.. My granddad put in about 200 Liter poles back in the 50s for the old boat sheds at J&S fish camp.. he cut them in the corbet area.. they were 12 to 18 inches around.. 30 years later you still couldn't drive a nail in them they was so hard.. From the 30's to the early 50's My uncles used to cow hunt and move the cows from the west side of west palm beach to Okeechobee, said they did it once every year took 3 to 4 weeks, they had cow camps along the way and had supplies dropped to them by a guy in an old world 1 plane.. in the 30's they're were still a large group of seminoles that had a village near Indiantown they said they would trade with them along the way and sometimes hire a few of um, to help hunt the cows.. I remember as a kid saying to my Grandparents, there was really Indians there.. My grandma said to me , Good lord child where do you think the name Indiantown came from !!

Im pretty new to the site but have enjoyed reading and have learned alot. I live in North Florida, in the big bend area. Majority of the people in our small communties hunt with dogs whether it be for hogs or deer, and also use dogs for working cows. There are still free ranging cattle on alot of the land around here. Heres some pics of some pups from a line my family has had for along time. Ive always been told these are florida curs, but they look alot different than the ones ive been seeing posted on here from south florida. So I guess we can all them North Florida Curs. Also a couple good books for the history of cracker country, A Land Remembered, Spring Creek Chronicles I and II, and Palmetto Country. Hope yall enjoy!

Great story Ralph77.
Cooter they look good. There are all kinds of looks to Florida Curs. Just like Plotts. It depended on the ranch/people that were breeding them. Your dogs look like they have alittle more ear to them then the ones I have. One thing about the breed regardless of how they look, they all seem to hunt the same way.
The guy who was breeding the line I have Jimmy, who went by Ghost Rider, was running Peeples Florida Curs and became friends with the guy Morgan who was breeding the Morgan line for McCoughlin Ranch. If you ever watched the Lady Hogdoggers show, the dog Poacher that Gary Stamper had was his Jimmy's last Poacher!! When one Poacher got killed the next litter with a big red cur became the next Poacher!! Some of Jimmy's Poacher dogs were close to 100lbs!! They started breeding their dogs together and were producing some very big rough curs back when nobody wanted rough curs. The stories of them getting invited to stay on some of the ranches for a month at a time and catching 300-500 hogs a month were just crazy. The pictures were awesome as well.

Well just got some bad news from the wife. One of the gyps in my picture died. Not sure what happened seemed to be fine last night while feeding them, no signs of parvo, snake bites, or roughness from the others. She was doing the best out of all my puppies, already finding her own hogs and baying tight. R.I.P Bell!

Hey Cooter... sorry to hear that... I have had things like that happen over the years.. never did figure out what happened to some of them.
Went hunting today, took one of my 13 month old cracker curs and my two old dogs, it's the daddy and mama to the 13 month old, the male is 12 the female 8, the male winded off the tool box and bayed a hog for an hour I never could get to him.. the gyp trailed up a pretty good boar hog , her and the younger dog caught him, i did get that one. I still can't get my pics up loaded.. is there anyone I can e mail them too and up load them for me ?
