Dang, sounds like a good time!

Good job, I hope you have a blast down under!

Man, all I did was sit on my butt all evening and you went out and made a haul. I sure hope your dog comes out alright. Well done.

Rough go, my dad and his brother run greyhounds on Fox in the 50's and 60's. They would put up a low fence between the food and the doghouse to make them jump. They kept increasing the fence height till they jumped pretty naturally. I remember the kennels being really high. Lol

I used to sandwich the wood around my doors with a hardwood because I had some dang house chewers. I had a bunch of maple that I had had milled. I had a few that would eat the whole front of a house in no time. I had one so bad that I made an angle iron frame. She used to crap presto logs.

Those are pretty darn nice!

Dang that's nice, you really have that etched dark. Good presentation on the photos too.

Good hunt for "soft dogs". Enjoy that trip down under. Looking forward to hearing about it.

LMAO!

I sent him a message on FB. I don't know how much he checks it but you should hear from him.

I was messaging with him awhile back, I will see if I can pull him up.

Sounds like a real challenge in those palmettos.

Good hunts, you need to get Lizzo hooked into something. She has a good head on her shoulders.

That dang Garmin, things could have been so much worse.

Sounds like a real memorable trip. Those bad briars stay in your memories.

Way to get after it!

Numbers are not a problem around here, there are lots of bears but they are not much of a problem. We have had them cross our property numerous times. But then we have good habitat for them. There are a number of guys who run them but don't kill them. If they get checked, they are running coons which is legal.

Clue, they still have hunters licensed to do that. In the spring after bear come out of hibernation there isn't a lot of food so they eat the tops of the fir seedlings and it costs those timber companies a bunch of money. These are the only ones who can dog hunt bears in the state of Washington.

I know a guy here in Washington that has a contract to take out bear on the timber company tree farms in the spring. He had a bear coming to the road with the dogs pretty hot on it so he grabbed a handgun off the dash and ran up to head it off. He hit the top of the hill at the same time as the bear. It was a big boar and he pulled the gun up and started unloading on it. The gun went click as the bear hit him. He ended up with scars on his face and arms. The dogs hit it real quick and the bear died pretty quick but that stuff happens fast.

That was a little close.
