Went to a spot up in the delta for the first time, I went with some friends that hunted up there a few times, after having an uneventful morning letting the young bucks do their thing my buddy buddy and I kick out our dogs around noon and after working a track for a while they bayed a sow in her bed, they caught her and we caught her 3 babies, my older cur gyp and a friends gyp roll out and get bayed, took us about an hour and a half to finally get to them and we slip in there and put the smack down on a good one... My gyp on the right and my friends on the left, they are first cousins.... This is the tree the sow was bedded up in, I brought her out for eating and re sewed the little the bacon seeds....

Another pic of the sows "den tree" lol... A young male I raised from a pup, he just turned two first part of this month and I'm really liking him, he's 5/8 hound and 3/8 cur, he's got a ways to go in the cold trailing and tracking but is hell on wheels once he's jumped, he's half running Walker off of a line bred for nearly 50 years or more for strictly bob cat and goes back the the Mark S hound 189 times in 15 generations, I really like what that "cat sense" brings to the table, and being as heavy bred as that lines is it seems to be pretty prepotent, I have some pups now off the female pictured earlier and this males sire, and I bred him to a completely scatter bred gyp off of about 13 generations of strictly the good dogs bred to good dogs to see if he performs as good in the plywood as he does the hardwoods...

Goose were you up there between Natchez & Port Gibson? We used to hunt up there quite a bit & caught good Russian hogs like that boar. Good hunt.

Good looking dogs and hogs!
On that line of running walkers, you can expect a lot of bottom, but what about their nose and trailing?

I'm not going to put a label on their nose power other than there's some tracks they take with ease and some they can't get going, I've seen them be able to trail a track that some pretty good curs couldn't, I'm satisfied with the progression they are making, but what I really like about them especially this male is they don't bobble around with a jumped track and easily correct a loose, they aren't the fastest speed wise but the time they make up in loses and track drifting ability seems to be working, I've hunted this male in north ms all the way to the mouth of the ms river in south la in different conditions and terrains and so far he's showed me the meat everywhere, only time will tell if he keeps progressing...
