Put my up and comer to work Monday. Neighbor is a stock contractor for SE district rodeo events. He runs 30 head of piney woods roping steers out of Louisiana below us. Two came up missing Sunday evening. They tracked them to a water gap that borders a 150 acre 10 yr old cutover that neighbors both of us. They had pushed through and got into the cutover. Sent him in at daylight. 20 minutes later he yips once and goes to baying. He's 487 on my garmin along a small branch that spilts the cutover. Nasty sh#t, but some decent skidder two ruts from when it was timbered. They road to 'em horseback and I took my wheeler around and came in from behind. Got there, and he had the two of them ass to ass, ringing them tight, right in the middle of a two rut that cut the branch. Them boys got a head rope on one and lead 'em up the hill to there gate. Actually went pretty smooth as the other followed behind willingly. One of them boys just paid big money for an 8 week old pup from a Cowman in Virginia. Papered Yeller dog with some TLS Delight in the mix from way back. Although she was not a Blackmouth dog, she did come from my neck of the woods and was a fine cowdog
Curious to see how this pup turns out.
