Title: Good read Post by: Cajun on October 29, 2021, 11:09:29 am (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211029/4d54029cbb4810316972bdd3264406d9.jpg)
Been a few years since I got this book but well worth reading again. The author goes in depth about his experience as a rancher, Trapper, Game Warden,Lion hunter and overseeing a vast amount of land as predator control. He uses mostly Airedale’s as his main dogs.

Title: Re: Good read Post by: Reuben on November 01, 2021, 07:21:42 am Yes…I paid extra to get a hard cover copy…ordered it Friday and it was on my doorstep yesterday when I got back from hog hunting…
Title: Re: Good read Post by: Cajun on November 01, 2021, 11:16:18 am I have the Hard Copy also. I almost had to give up reading when Louis L'amour died. I have read every one of his books several times over. Even tho I sometimes down load books on a Kindle, there is nothing like reading a soft or hard copy book when I have the time.

It was interesting that he used almost explicitly Airedales, I know that through that time era Airedales were a fairly popular all around dog and many used extensively on big game. He expressed much more trailing ability than I expected from Airedales, since most of what I had ever heard or read they were usually added to a pack for their fighting abilities I am surprised there aren't more strains of working Airedales left or still in use these days.

- Real world , hands on experience is very appealing to me. I have a lot of respect for guys like the author who lived and breathed the outdoor lifestyle. He definitely knew every hair on his dogs. - I was impressed by their longevity and consistency. Pup dog lived to be 21 years old! I was also surprised the Airdales would stay treed as long as they did. I assume because they could see the cat. It sounds like the author did a dam good job off putting them on fresh tracks…..especially the bobcats he took. - The Puse dog could dam sure eat my feed! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
