dont know how. click them camera botton on my little bio thing and you should be able to see it

 

Im ready for the first to get here. Got at least 2 days a week off plus weekends for the month. I stopped hunting in WV with deer season starting up. Never have been a fan of running my dogs while others are trying to deer hunt and making them mad.

 

Cool rig!

 

We had a great week chasing hare in Maine a Oct 20-26. 12 of us in camp with 22 dogs total. Only 4 of us had hare hunted before so we got to pop a few cherries. We ran 10 dogs each day but went out with a bang and ran 17 together on Friday. Talk about music to the ears.

Started out on Monday at one of my hotspots and shot 7, and we usually had two separate pack running a hare at the same time. Took 4-5 hours for them to settle down and run in one pack for the most part. At one point we did have 4 separate chases going at the same time. We ended up with 23 hare being shot by the end of the week.

Typically got to our spot by 815 or so and picked them up around 4 pm. We did have rain on Thursday and Friday so the fair weather hunters only lasted till noon or so. I stayed out with my dogs and ran till about 4 both days.

If there is anyone looking for a first class outfitter to stay with I highly recommend Sunrise Ridge Guide Service in Bingham, ME. Meals are top notch and they are great people as well. I have been up 7 times in 4 years and consider Troy and Cheree to be great friends. http://sunriseridgeguide.com/

Group shot before we started on Monday


Almost 23 miles the first day. We ended up right around 20 each day.

im am thinking about taking off the 1st two days. and hope and pray i have alot of the weekends off

 

looks like a lot of fun man. i have never ran with beagles

 

Been doing some hunting on Fridays and Saturdays with the dogs. Went out this past saturday and got two rabbits with one shot. It was actually 1 rabbit with 1 shot and Jack caught the other one just as he jumped it. That dog never ceases to amaze me.

Also just booked my March trip up to Maine for the 1st to 7th. Love it up there with 5 feet of snow on the ground. Hopefully we get better conditions than last year, its a crapshoot that time of year.

 

dogs are looking good. keep us updated and good luck up in maine. anit to much longer and we going be back at it here in VA

 

Here's my year an half old dog treed with a coon

Thanks. He sounds a lot like his mother

 

Nice looking Walker dog. Doing good for year and half. I am ready for Monday to be here to hit the woods again with my dogs.

 

tommrrow is the day!!!!!!

 

Had a good day huntin. Treed one about 150 pounds and let him go cause of the area we were in. It would have took all night to get him out.

 

I just got out ran by 125 to 150 by the track size. Went into an area I don't know and has a good amount of private land so we decided to pull dogs and call it a day. Try it again on Friday.
