Hello Dave, Yes it sure was nice to meet you as well. It's always nice to be able to put a face with a name. Thanks for the compliment on Holly. Gosh if we could have just treed a coon on Sat. Nite, I think we would have won the UEB&F High Scoring English female. But you know how that goes, LOL. If Ole Blue had not stopped to SHIZZ, he may have caught the rabbit, LOL!!
At any rate, I had a BLAST!! Many thanks to the Rainey brothers of Memphis, Tennesee, and their friend Bobby, for guiding me on Friday Night. Ole Holly blundered into 2 singles and a double, and got a cast win with 500 plus. And many thanks to Dave ?, from Indinapolis, Indiana, who was hunting his Gr.Nt Black & Tan "Bodacious" (I Think), Sammy from Alabama, hunting his Gr.Nt. Redbone, and Bryan, from Indiana, hunting his Gr.Nt. Treeing Walker, TANK (I Think) was his name. You guys were all great to hunt with and made my job as a judge, very easy and enjoyable. These guys were top notch Men and acceppted the scoring without any questions.
Sure wish Sat Night would have turned out a little different, but that cast was doomed from the git/go. The guides dog, flipped its stomach (or something) and was in dire distress by the time we got to the 1st tree. The cast members, Gracious guys from Alabama, hunting a very nice Gr.Nt. female, (Cabin Creek Rowdy X Hard Time Speck) breeding, helped this man carry the dog out of the woods. It only lived a short time after that, so my condolances to Chuck (our guide) for your loss. We only got two drops after that. One was Holly pullin up on an empty tree, and the remaining dogs saying "OH Yea" this is where its at, LOL was that ever ugly. The last drop produced nothing but one dog a blue female from Louisana, in a hole. That thing may have had a diller in it, (I DON"T KNOW) but that hole sure had a foul oder to it LOL.
But I had a great trip, with some great friends, and met some GREAT people, and hunted with some GREAT Sportsmen and now have some GREAT MEMORIES, that will last a lifetime.
Thank You UKC for putting on a great event!! I loved it all!!!!
