Thank you Joe! I like the dogs on the tree to but like Mike my favorite picture is the bear in the cave. I had to jump down probably about 6 ft and stand on a ledge to take the picture. The ledge was just big enough for me to put one foot on either side and the only way out for the bear would have been to walk right underneath me. No sooner had I got down there the bear decided he had enough of the dogs and stood straight up on his back feet, gave out a big growl, took about 2 steps toward the dogs and grabbed one of them. The roar of the other dogs was almost deafening inside that cave as they piled on the bear and he quickly let the other dog go. I snapped this shot as they were backing him back up. The metal plate on the dogs collar was pinched where the bear bit him. Alvin is not always happy with me and my desire to get close to the action with my camera. We bayed this big red bear the day before the one in the cave and he was the most beautiful bear I have ever seen. He is also the largest I have ever seen. I don't know that he could of climbed but they bayed him up several times. One of the last times he was in a bad thicket and you could hear him in there popping his jaws and rushing at the dogs. I was on my hands and knees trying to crawl in there and Alvin drug me back out. This was the first bear my dog Si had ever seen. He was 9 months old at the time, he is in the picture on the far left side. He was one of the last 2 dogs Alvin caught off of the bear that day. The next bear he was on he was the very last dog caught off and he hasn't looked back since.  Cajun, I don't think our thickets are nearly the mess you guys have but ours have stickers in them lol! There is some rough country there and a big reason you don't see a lot of pictures of those places is because I do most of the picture taking and I can't go to those trees. Our kids are usually with us and it's to rough for our little girl to go into those and I have a knee that keeps me out of a lot of places to. Hopefully Alvin will come home with some good pictures from WI. Sherry |

Sherry, You really do have the gift of being a great photographer. Most of our thickets have thorns or stickers on them too. I really dont think you can go anywhere in the south without having some rough country somewhere. One thing for sure, whether it is hogs or bear, they will sure take you to the roughest place around.
Bigame Joe, You are being promoted to be our official photographer. Now if we can just get Andy to slow down so we all get to the tree together, it is a done deal.
NChoghunter, how are your dogs bred?

Cajun, I'll bring my good camera next weekend. I sure would have liked to have had some good photos of that big bear bayed in the Hellhole Thicket. Just three steps closer. LOL  |

Taylor Crockett himself. I have spent the night at his house several times when I was passing thru N. C. Him and Archie Boone came and made a hunt with me. I have had varying results with his dogs but one of them was a very good dog.
Taylor was the last of the Big Five and a icon for the Plott breed.

What's the story on the Big Red dog? He sure has the running gear under him.

I got the pictures from John Jackson when I was up visiting him. The Big Red dog was Taylors all time favorite. John said my Bo dog, which is a Florida Cur looked just like him, and I have to agree!!
Red was out of a Vaughn Plott dog named Balsom Rock and Crocketts female June. Reds sire was suppose to be Plotts Happy, but Vaughn switched sires on him!
Boss is out of Leo and June as was Rusty.
