It is not always the ingredients that define a dish... it is the chef that knows how to manipulate those ingredients 

Partin dogs were the result of controlled line breeding, best type to best type to best type for many, many years.  Old Bud Partin and I talked about it for a lil' bit at a horse sale one time.  He said the Partin family was big enough, that when one of the family needed a good dog, they just went to a family member's ranch and bred best to best... over the years, the "type" of dog just "set".

The Partin blood is a very strong characteristic in most Florida Curs...  very easy to recognize

When my daddy talks about cow huntin...they most allways had a bulldog....the one dog looks like a plott.....

I got a good question...how many of ya'll have ever ridden in a half track?  I had an uncle from Apopka that had 1....that was the neatest thing I had ever seen...it was before the modern day buggies.

[cajunl]

Who is your uncle in Apopka?That is my town I might know him. Those old half tracks were great.

His name was Bob Chapman..he worked construction and My aunt had a nursery.... I have floated down the river at rock springs a many a time

wasn't the nursery next to th B-B-Que place and country store was it?

[cajunl]

I know a Bob Chapman about in his sixties? Maybe same guy! Small world. I live on rock springs. I wish you could run dogs on it for bear. I have seen two treed in my neighbors yard.

I havent been there in so long I do not remember where their 2nd nursery was.  The one they had was behind there house and it was down a dirt road and it seems like maybe there was a BBq place close to where u turned.  There was an old store at the corner I think I can remember where u turned to kinda go to Rock Springs.  This has been 20 yrs ago.  My Aunt remarried and we do not really "agree" with her knew husband so I havent beeen down there alot.  As far as bears in Florida I have seeen them and some of you probable have where they have actually contracted Sarcoptic mainge.  This is the only population od bears known to have this.  It is because they are living in such close quarters to each other.  The super High numbers of bears coupled with the limited place for them to live.  There are alot of places in florida now that have more bear than anywhere I have seen, nothing tosee 4-5 in an afternoon just riding and looking.

There is a bar on the corner of rock springs dirt road. It has been there for years. The chapmans nursery is about 1 mile from there.

I remember a hog dog hunter named Bob Chapman from way back in the 1970's.  He hog hunted with Jack Martin Sr. alot on the same 39,000 acre tract I hunted back then (Seminole Ranch formerly Norris Cattle Co. back then).  Mann Bailey and Jack Walker ran the cows in there.

Hunted with Roy Partin back then also on their place South of St Cloud.  He had a red Fla Cur named "Rowdy".  Remember a hunt with Roy one day when Roy was up a tree hollering "catch'em Rowdy".  It was a big old spotted boar that wrecked some cow dogs and people over a year or two span.  Long story but I ended up with two broken hands trying to catch him the second time.  I had a Partin dog back then, an exact replica of Mark Chesser's Monkey dog and about as good.

Damm, that was a long time ago.  How'd I get this old?

Does anybody have a picture of an old half track?
