There’s still a few here but I believe all the other platforms definitely put a hurting on the forums. Everyone wants to be the next influencer. We have been trying to close on the in-laws and if another hurricane pushes it back I may just have to open a can on the next storm. 38 years and they don’t bother me but this year damn I’m tired of trying to keep dogs and hogs from flooding or pens from taking flight. We going to hunt public land this year until I can round up some private pieces so we should be getting to it in the next month or 2.

Only thing I can tell you for sure about OK is take shade. I hear there isn’t but one shade tree on the whole place and it’s not puppy friendly even though they will have a puppy class.

I appreciate the good words. They 6ish months old now and at that ugly gangly growing stage. Everything in the litter is on its way to becoming a working dog except the one I said I should have culled and not made the momma raise since the beginning. I think she’ll still make a dog but some in this line haven’t turned on until later in life and I believe she’s going to fall in suit with that theory but I was more interested in the % of to how many work and how many are culls even though I may never make that cross again as it was truly to replenish my cuz as this litter was more bred towards the cow and that was our deal when I took the bitch from him. The only way I would run it back is to make sure the consistency is there.

Hey judge if you’re talking about triple R I can give you the scoop on it. Wish it wasn’t so damn far for me as we would go to every event and my pockets were deep enough. But if you want to play with the big boys that’s where you go. For now we just go to the 2 that are active in GA. Mud creek is in OK and they are doing a woods dog only first part of next year and I hear it’s the real deal.

It is so peaceful when you have no cell signal. I recently deleted all social media which wasn’t much to begin with as I didnt have face f&$k (Facebook) and I’m not going to lie yea I miss seeing some posts at times but everyone I truly care about I have there phone number and it’s been the best thing I’ve done in a long long time. The wife even deleted all hers and she’s even made the comment it’s actually truly peaceful. Well duh. Mr Mike those comments are what have given you the success you have had and continue to have with them hounds and what makes you a true dogman. Most people breed to chase a $$ and with you that’s absolutely not the case. Your breeding for your own using purposes and the love of the hound and the betterment of what your breeding to make a difference in the breed. I can absolutely relate to helping a youngster or just someone in general. I own and raise some roosters and I have some livestock guardian dogs that I’ve traveled all over the southeast obtaining that were bred born and raised on rooster yards and I normally buy or get every puppy I can from a litter. I keep what suits me and works cull the ones that just don’t and have raised 1 litter of pups. I’ve driven states away to gift someone a pup or finished dog because they did there job just not the way I liked. My only stipulation was I want a pup back or a pair of pups back. To this day I’ve yet to receive a pup back so I truly have a bad bad taste in my mouth when it comes to these dogs and have a damn hard time trusting someone’s word. To many people today just don’t have the same level of respect and morals I was raised on and don’t take a hand shake as serious as I still do.

I know they are well known but I’ll bet his phone rings more than he wants it to now. The ones that didn’t know damn sure know now.

I was listening to the Dixie Doggers podcast today and the guest they had on today done let the secret out and let the world know Mr Cauley has the real deal plotts. Damnit I haven’t even had the chance to get one yet and I bet his phone blows up now. I’m gonna have to get on Mr Joey about what he lets some of his guest talk about.

I have started using it a year or so ago with no ill effects and have only dosed 1 time. I dose the same as everyone else 1cc per 10# orally and did a little research and found it’s safe for pups 12 weeks of age. I’ve tested it and no ill effects. From what I’ve been able to read the active ingredient is the same as nearly every flea med you would get from the vet. I believe the difference is the dose we give when self medicating our dogs compared to the single dose the vet would sell you and again every month there after. I would be interested in seeing if anyone has had problems with there bitches cycling as I have not so far.

Any one want to help guide me on posting pics or is there already a thread on it you could guide me to ?? Thanks in advance fellas

Anybody used the Alpha Dog products ?? They are backed by some well known names but is it because they actually work or because they get free products or because they get a little kick back ?? Looking for real world experience with them ?? Wouldn’t mind trying some of the products if they are worth it.

I was feeding show time for a little bit but had troubles with the feed store and just couldn’t deal with the aggravation. I think it’s a great feed and I’ve been feeding it for many many years and still feed the rooster feed. I think it’s top of the line and hard to beat but for the dogs I switched back to Diamond as that has always been my go to. I have switched my inside dogs to the pro 89 ancient grains and really like it.

You’re right Cajun a lot like putting a little pointer in them. In my opinion the only pointer worth feeding is an English haha but I’ve thought about it quite often and the way a pointer hunts and efficiently covers ground I see why one would want to. They have pretty good wind and seems to tolerate quite a bit of temperature differences and recover quite well I think. To me it would have to be some field trial stock you need a horse to hunt behind

T-Dog that awesome you have a small crew that seem to think alike and breed alike. That’s damn hard to come by these days. I’ve tried a few times with my livestock dogs and I’ve been burnt enough it makes it hard to trust these days. I just wanted a pup back but that seems to much to ask but it’s ok for me to drive sometimes 4 hrs and give them a completely trained dog free of charge and never asked for gas money either. I’m working on getting my Florida curs back going after being out for some years. I swore I was retired as most my kids didn’t show much interest if any but now my step daughter is everything a Dad dreams of so I’m back both feet in again. All brakes no gas. In my opinion T-Dog if you have the good traits from the hounds bred into your line and good cast dogs and by cast in my opinion if they aren’t going a mile they aren’t casting you can be above average hunting anywhere in the country with your dogs. No they might not bang straight out the box but a few days hunting somewhere they going to put it together.

Cajun has to T-Dog as I feel he’s producing some damn fine dogs from what I can tell or he has the ability to feed and hunt far more then the average but I also feel he’s more honest with himself them the average dog man as well.

I’m going to have to get your number T-Dog. I’ve got plenty of offers to hunt GA as we seem to make the trip quite often these days with my kids living in SC real close to the northeast corner of GA and some buddies in middle GA. They drive me nuts trying to get me up there on a regular basis to hunt or want me to send my daughter to stay so she can get some hunting in. I’ve actually got some damn good connects in GA these days for being a southwest FL boy.

No sir I haven’t but my game bred bitch that stays in the house has some yeasty ears and I use a homemade remedy I found years ago from some cocker spaniel breeders and love it but your not the first person I have heard it all starting in the gut so I’ve been doing some thinking into it and it’s something I would like to add to the daily routine trying to get that edge on daily care and was just curious what’s everyone using and how they like it. The wife mentioned something about getting some form of it from Walmart which I’m not against but I know raising bottle calf’s in my younger days I tend to lean towards animal related products.

How are you like that happy dog powder T-Dog ??

T-Dog I whole heartedly agree with you about the pen dog woods dog debate and I’m well aware of all that and why Dad owns woods dogs and my daughter owns pro pen dogs. Very very seldom do they excel at both but like you said there is always an exception here and there. In my opinion the good woods dogs that can get it done in the pen often catch out . Hell the #1 pen dog there is right now with several hundred thousand in winning can do both but in my opinion I feel he produces better woods dogs then pen dogs. It just blew my mind the lack of want to from the plot dogs in the pen. Hell we can’t run a 2 dog because the hogs just aren’t up to par at that bay pen but they have a 2 dog plot bay and doesn’t help any. The bays are at 2 minutes for 1st round now but I’ve seen several bay offs eventually pushing 12/15 minutes. The pen dogs are specialist these days and I understand it. First part of next year there will be a woods dog only bay in OK and if it wasn’t a 20hr drive for me I’d damn sure be there as I feel it’s going to be getting back to the old days and the origin of it all and Mr Rusty puts a set of hogs together that are the real deal.

I again agree with you on the hound thing and your right the F1’s are nice but I think when you get them back down to 1/4 that’s where they really start to shine again. If one was serious about it though and not a purest as you have to take the good with the bad when it comes to pure and wanted to make a line you’d be hard pressed to put something together that preformed better then a good game line bred for lung crossed with a true fox pen dog. A 3 day type and then put some cur in them or took it back to the fox pen dog and were real selective about it. Most don’t have the patience to see a 5 to 10 project through and keep there eye on the goal though.

Hell yea Cajun that sounds awesome other then the vet bills but the rougher style is definitely what you lean to which I believe is staying true to what they are suppose to be. I’ve looked at a few and just haven’t been impressed. A lot of people over look the grit a hound has and think they can’t run one like a silent dog which is just so far from the truth. What they don’t realize is a hound has the lung bottom to see it to the end where a cur type dog will quit it far before a hound would ever even think it. I just want someone’s cull that may not make it in the woods but will in the pen. I’ve been to a plot bay the last couple years in north GA and them boys ought to be ashamed of themselves. I thought being close to places that allow bear hunting it would be impressive and that just hasn’t been the case. Is that what you sent them up north for bear season ??

Hey Cajun how are these young guns getting it done and are they all still living ?? I would imagine they have been through what most would consider there first season by now.

My house b&$ch is damn near a spitting image of him Rednose. She is game bred but in my opinion to big to ever match. Bred her once and didn’t raise any to no fault of her own. Thought about breeding her one more time before she gets any older as she’s at that age now I try not to breed. but she has a mast in one of her tits as of about the last 6 months and I’m unsure if I should even try now. Never hunted her as she was acquired to give me piece of mind when my wife and kids are home and I am not. I’ve let her kill a few critters and rolled a few times unintentionally and I’ve been around long enough I’d bet a years salary she’d do anything needed in the woods or betted solo with no gear she’d kill or be killed with no hesitation or signs of quit. Minds well.. common sense and the ability to problem solve. I’ll have to see if I can figure out posting pics.
