Boone bred ones? Welcome back from the dark side
Not yet. Mike didn't have anything, he has slowed way down with the health issues he is having. I talked to Lynn Trammel and he is going to have some in the somewhat near future. He has a really nice 6 year old off of Tom Horn semen and one of Mike's heavy Boone bred females. He also has young gyp off of Fiddler semen and a direct daughter of Boone Semen that is just ready to start being hunted. I told him I wanted a pup when he makes that cross. Right now I have a really nice male off of Cheyenne Cummings Shack dog. Way more hound than I need at this point in my life. He's been in 2 ukc hunts and has 2 +point cast wins. Dog has no reverse and will get yonder. Pretty accurate type hound with a big, big mouth. I had to basically start over and had to buy everything to get back into it. I had kept my dog box though! My boy just turned 6 and it's time to start exposing him to it to see if it sticks. I didn't realize how much I missed it until that first turn out a couple of months ago.
I liked my blue dogs. I had some dang nice ones. They were a pleasure to hunt, but in the back of my mind I missed my Walker dogs. I found out that I am honestly not color blind though. As long as it's a good hound, I'll hunt about anything. I had 2 Dual Grand English dogs at the same time I had my blue dogs. I used to start some young dogs for Bill Schenker as he got older and he had some really nice B&T's. I would've hunted one of those if I didn't have a kennel full of Walker dogs. It's kind of like Ford, GM and Dodge, I've had them all, all were good trucks, but they all had things I liked and didn't like about them.
I still talk to Mike at least a couple of times a year. I'm planning on making a trip to see him this spring. Our relationship has far exceeded dogs and hunting as the years have passed.
