Well it was my fault the first time for not been able to meet you. I should have left my company and came over there to meet you. I will try my best to meet with you guys soon.

Hey Tony;
Of all the great luck my Hounder dog was dead in the pen this morning. Heck he was only going to be 7 in April.
Any ideas where there is any pleasure dogs for sale?? I don't want something that is going to blow out of the country but must run and tree it's own coon. 1/4 mile is far enough and 300 hundred yards is better for me, and then turn around.
If you know anything give me a call 217-460-1176

Sorry about your dog. Do you have a preference of what kinda dog you want? Hootie could probably fix you right up! Let me know and I will let you know if I hear of anything.
Chuck's rain dance probably ain't gonna do no good until after Tuesday. What kinda Indian are you any way Chuck that you got to watch weather first? L.O.L. We'll get together sometime Mike!

At this time of year definately not color blind. I really don't think he could fix me up with anything, wind has been blowing here about every night.

That hunt is about 50 miles south of me and is for the BIG BOYS with money. Heck I just pleasure hunt, don't want them getting treed 2 mile away. I want to hear what they are doing and if nothing is moving come in, we can go someplace else.

Mike
I was not meaning you and a lot of other guys running the competion circuit. I did it for years in the other KC making several Night and Grand Nites. The dogs today don't impress me that much the way they hunt. I am not walking 1-2 miles to a dang dog that don't have enough sense to strike coons within 200 yards of turnout. To bad they did'nt start with a carbide and a flashlight and then see how they want them to hunt. Only pleasure hunt anymore. Guess I don't have the dog power and drive I did when a lot younger.

When I was younger I had one of them go deep dogs,an English dog,turn him loose & watch him go,1/4 mile was close for him,& if ya didn't get there fast he'd leave,these Walkers I got now are more my speed,I reckon its all in what a guy wants,& comp. huntin' don't trip my trigger,if that's what another guy likes I sure won't knock him,I see where Mike is comin' from,& sure Alan didn't mean no harm.We did some buddy hunts at our club usein' UKC rules that was ok. Tonight's the night for Deacon too show his stuff........GOOD LUCK MIKE & CREW,give us a report tomorrow.

We did not do any good last night. Deacon was not on his 8 ball. Alan I started hunting in 1958. Carbide lights and no tracking collars or training collars. These guys today would not know what to do if they had to use carbide lights and 6 cell flashlights.
