  Thanks guys. To say I am bored is a understatement. Tdog My running days have been over. That was the original plan tho to get my knee fixed during deer season but my hip through a monkey wrench in the plans. When you are closing in on 70 your better days are behind you but you hate to miss any time you have left and this is taking about 6 months out of the equation.
  I do not remember a time I have not had a dog to chase game with. Been a way of life all my life and hope to continue as long as possible. The problem is all my cardio, heart, lungs are good, it's the body that is giving out.  Just remember it is not the years but the miles.

Man I hate to hear that Cajun. Not for you so much but for the hogs. If you become bionic those hogs won’t have a chance. You’ll be 20 again, running to the bays through the swamps. I can hear ya telling Mike the Knife to let you out and bring the boat around. Yeah you sure enough won’t have any hogs to hunt. On a high note, momma probably won’t let you go back to the gym. I hope it gets better soon and ready as soon as deer season is over.

Dang Cajun, it sounds like it all caught up with you . Good luck on those surgeries. I've dealt with scoliosis my whole adult life and keep thinking a hip replacement may be in my future but so far I am still plugging.

Dang cajun I hope they get you all put back together and healed up soon as possible

  I didnt want to Hi jack Hollowpoints thread so I'll start this one, About 3 months ago I was in the gym do healthy stuff. lol  I normally stay on the Stairmaster for cardio. That's the closest thing I can get for walking the marsh. Anyway I added leg presses . Was doing a set and felt a little give in my hip. Next day I could hardly walk. We were headed for Alsaka the next week for vacation. I was due for a injection in my knee and while there the dr. X rayed my hip. he made no bones about it, saying I needed a hip replacement that both Hips were worn out. I have never had a hip issue in my life and just asked him to inject it. He couldn't do it but he fixed me up with another Dr. for the next day. He said the same thing as far as a hip replacement. Anyway got it injected and had a back Ablation the next day, so I had a Knee injection, Hip injection and a Back ablation all in one week and we left for Alaska on Friday.
  Got back in 10 days and went to the dr. about getting this hip replaced and he said we couldnt do intil 6 weeks have passed because of the injection. Well hell my knee was hurting worse then the hip and wanted to do it first but he said we had to do the hip first. Hopefully we will get on the knee in 4 weeks. Anyway, I feel like Humpty Dumpty. I am falling to pieces but the Drs keep putting me together again.
  T  dog, might not be a bad thing mixing those dogs together. I have seen countless times where a cur x hound cross sure make a hog dog.
  So y'all keep the stories coming cause I am sure glad someone is getting out there and I sure like to read about them.

There was a time when I knew a little bit about the cat lines but I haven’t kept up with them in several years. It will be fun to research those dogs though. She’s a pretty gyp. It doesn’t make her a hog dog of course, but it sure doesn’t hurt lol.

Cajun, I hope you’re on the mend. Watch those kennels close. I might slip in down there with one of these border collies to infuse into those striped hounds. I’m a years time you could be running the purdiest brindle ring necks in the swamps.

I had a thought while I was making my pb and j, I do believe that cat gyp will put teeth on one enough to stop it, but she will back up and bay. I don’t know if you folks know catahoula family lines or not, but her mother is LC out of Calamity Jane and Clyde. Her daddy is GT who is Clyde’s brother. I don’t know anything about the different  catahoula lines. If any of it rings a bell feel free to chime in.

No worries fellas, the catahoula comes from a gentleman that’s older now and has his dogs in the bay pen circuit. He showed me a video of her with another dog in a pen when I got her from him. She didn’t get rough at all. But that hog was a large Marge too. Now those two brothers are not much for baying, Pete was there first and had it caught before his brother Dan got there. You don’t really see the bulldog in him,  it he’s got that attitude in him.

When I first started hog hunting in Hawaii in 1990, the guys I went with all ran silent rcd’s. That’s what everyone I knew had for that terrain so I’m sort of accustomed to that. I’d prefer they back up and bay, but if they’re going to get rough I’m either going to have to be there quick or hold them back. Once it cools down I’ll have them in those Aussie style running vests.

Hollowpoint I think you’re doing real
well by the pups. I didn’t mean sound like I thought that was happening, just something I really started to pay attention to personally. I don’t think your pups are going to be shy about putting teeth on them. Hopefully they’ll get smart before the alternative. Does your little cat gyp come from a biting ( hogs lol) line of dogs?

Ya wayoutwest it defiantly not the norm. I had another one two yrs ago that was 17 and had heart worms at 4 or 5 which I cured my self. Clean water and a reason to live will take them long ways lol. I had a catahula yrs ago that lived about the same might been 16  and shorty was bout 14 still catching hogs when she passed.
