yessir warren , my granddaddy grew up free ranging cattle and hogs in the woods in central florida in the 30's and 40's . their dogs would hold up a sounder of hogs while they caught pigs with a noose on a pole and work them in the saddle . when the screwworn epidemic hit , them dogs learned to smell them worms on a fresh calfs navel and go find and bay him and his momma ! his older brother joined the army when ww2 came along and never went back to the farm cause he was so tired of riding and doctoring for screwworms and sometimes gittin his ass hooked for it  |

Them old Cowhunters had to breed "looser" dogs for a while there and actually learn how to throw a rope. Blood meant worms, sure'nuff. I heard tying off hard to an old school McClellan Saddle was a b#tch  |

Put my up and comer to work Monday. Neighbor is a stock contractor for SE district rodeo events. He runs 30 head of piney woods roping steers out of Louisiana below us. Two came up missing Sunday evening. They tracked them to a water gap that borders a 150 acre 10 yr old cutover that neighbors both of us. They had pushed through and got into the cutover. Sent him in at daylight. 20 minutes later he yips once and goes to baying. He's 487 on my garmin along a small branch that spilts the cutover. Nasty sh#t, but some decent skidder two ruts from when it was timbered. They road to 'em horseback and I took my wheeler around and came in from behind. Got there, and he had the two of them ass to ass, ringing them tight, right in the middle of a two rut that cut the branch. Them boys got a head rope on one and lead 'em up the hill to there gate. Actually went pretty smooth as the other followed behind willingly. One of them boys just paid big money for an 8 week old pup from a Cowman in Virginia. Papered Yeller dog with some TLS Delight in the mix from way back. Although she was not a Blackmouth dog, she did come from my neck of the woods and was a fine cowdog Curious to see how this pup turns out. |

Can they tree squirrels? If I don’t let them chase and bay butterflies while they’re pups... will they turn out to be culls? Haha! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Haha I've saw pups bay butterflies and dragonflies, but the best "bug" story I've heard was by Ben, when he was a young fellow there was an old man down in his country that had the first yeller dogs in their country "I can't remember the old fellows name" that had a dog with him down at the store one day and was telling the guys he could put that dog on a tumble bug and he would get in front of it and back up and bark, they all laughed and the old fellow pilfered around until he found a tumble bug rolling a ball and showed them that he would do it.

Clue, Mr. Camp gave me a pedigree on Moe and it contained the names of Bo Smith and Van Brock. Then there was Mr. Johnson that was the owner of Ugly. All these are very early owners of yellow dogs in Ben's neck of the woods.

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principle difference between a dog and a man.

It was a Van Brock dog the tumble bug story was about.

I brought up the chasing butterflies because a fella bought a pup from a famous black mouth cur breeder years back. When the dog turned out to be a cull and the fella called him on the guarantee... the breeder told him it’s because he didn’t let the dog chase and bay butterflies when it was a pup! Hahaha!!!

o.k. i'll tell 1 on jordans henry . mr ben told me he had to be real careful when he turned him loose , make sure he was pointed in the right direction , and i got in trouble for not doing the same when letting bigo's dogs outta the box lol . anyways ben said point him and fire him and then get mounted and he'd find'em bayed somewhere , might be 7-8 miles and it was before tracking systems . said he'd just ride to the top of 1 mountain and listen , and then ride to the top of the next . he would get bayed somewhere .
i don't magine mr ben ever had a traini8ng program . he just done what me and several others do . just raise'em till their old enough to use , see if if they want to work right, OR die , and then go from there .
i guess it makes a difference i your a weekend warrior or a internet specialist or trying to make a living with dogs .
