Nice job guys, way to start the year

Good way to start the year off Mike. Hope you and yours have a fantastic year

Good Job fella's Mike I like the looks of Clifford he looks like a suped up cur dog. LOL

Wow was there any wetherford ben dogs on that hunt??????lol  ;D Just figured I would help you thread!!  ;D Good job guys!!

Looks like a good deal, good hunt , and is gana be a good year ^-^

Nice hunt guys... Mike how's the Garmin, welcome to the 21st century.... I got mine in this week as well... I almost had to swim Cedar Bayou, but they brought him back to me. Good thing the Bayou was ripping, or I might have had to swim.... They made their way back to me, the CD and the new Catahoula happened to be 40yds away from bayou crossing (thanks Garmin, although I lost them about 4 times). I still have the radio system, thanks to Chris...

We had a 3.4 mile chase. He lost in the end...

Good hogs, good hunt and good friends...sounds like a great day! It rained here most of the day, cooling off now so I "hope" to be in the woods in the morning trying to find another blind crippled hog my potlickers can stumble over..... ;D

Hope you have a great New Year Mike! At least you are off to a good start.

Whats the catch dog? With a glass eye I assume he has leopard in him, but mixed with?? He doesn't look like a pit.

Thanks everyone.

No Chance, but I got trashy ol' black catahoula that made a purdy good showing today.  ;D

Bennie, works good, but Quick Track will still be around every dog's neck when they hit the ground... especially when dogs go from yards to miles. ;)

Mark, that's my old Clifford dog... he just turned seven. Wish I could go back about six years, when I bought him from Craig, and re-live them again. Caught a bunch of hogs for me over the years and gonna be a tough one to lose. He's 1/2 catahoula 1/2 American Bulldog... just shy of 100 lbs.

I like his build but didn't realize he was that big of a dog. I bet when he catches, he can anchor one.

If we were closer I may would want to breed my JJ female to him, just for some catchdog pups. I have never owned, fed or led a straight catchdog...but at times I wish I did have one.

Some of my Fla curs are just about lead in catchdogs. If you turn JJ to a bay she is 100% catch. So if I bred her to a sure enough catchdog, I would pretty much bet the pups would all catch. One of the best catch dogs I ever hunted with was 1/2 Fla cur and 1/2 pitt. Very accurate and quick enough to run a   hog down if it broke before he got there.

good way to kick it off.
did those little needles cut any dogs?

the old man is looking good..

Very nice

Good hunt fellas

 Thanks Craig, there was a few pokes here and there... but nothing serious.

Mark, some of the best catch dogs I can remember hunting behing were various cur/bulldog type crosses. Sure would like to get him crossed over the right AB for a 3/4 cross.

Great hunt!  I sure do enjoy seeing pictures of Clifford, he's a fine looking dog.   Had no idea he came from Craig, what's his family story?

Noah, I will find the post on Cliffords history later after I eat...I owned his mom and a full bulldog 1/2 brother.

Here ya go Noah...

Here are Cliffords parents.

Bryant, I know that picture of Porky was up in Oklahoma... but do you remember what year it was taken?

Good looking dogs. is it the picture, or is lea blue and brindle?

Thanks UnderDog, what were his parents like?

Nice hunting guys, good way to ring in the new year.. We did the same, finally got one stopped and shut down out at camp..HAPPY NEW YEAR>>whoohoo

That was a great way to start the year right there, here's to many more productive, safe hunts!

Nice job guys!! Happy New Year!!

Mike
  i was at Bob's house and saw Porky about 8 years ago, and that is exactly what he looked like when i was there. same cars in the drive and all..      thats how i recognized that picture a while back.
