This is Ole Trooper. He was out of my old lines from above and is what I am considering my last can't buy him dogs. He is old and grey faced in this picture but I promise don't let it fool you. I lost him this past winter. He had been on retirement and was lead stud around here. I let him loose around the house for a little R&R. Next thing I knew my hunting partner called me and said he picked him up fixing to cross a farm road about five miles from the house still on track. Guess he jumped him one last one. It was extremly cold that day and guess he was to bad out of shape. Found him in the pen dead later that night. There were three of these litter mates al together. I lost my other five years ago ran one so long he had a heart attack, found him dead in bottom of a creek. My good friend has the last one and is still hunting him and teachin all the young ones how its done.
