Big Mike, A warble is not a made up joke. They are very real. Some people call them wolves. They are actually the larva of the bot fly. They look like a huge black or brown maggot that works its way out from under the animal's skin like a boil on a person. They don't really hurt anything unles the a...

That's what it's all about-------Old dogs and children and watermellon wine! Dan

An old she fox in heat will make a sound like a women crying or screaming. Also for some reason and I'm not sure unles it is a man's smell, they will follow a man after dark while they are in heat making this sound as well. Dan

Bunny Jumper, I don't think dog days have anything to do with the snake's eyes and striking at everything that moves. The snake is getting ready to shed it's skin and that can happen anytime during the summer. I'm not sure but I believe it can happen more than once a year depending on how much the s...

I think they are shocking!!!! I'm 57 years old, have been hunting with dogs all my life and have only used one for the last 2 years, but I think they are the best thing to come along since sliced bread. Dan

It's not the size of the dog in the hunt. It's the size of the hunt in the dog!!!! Dan

Joeyman, They are fine looking pups and true hounds. Why, they are already trying to howl at the siren in the back ground!!!! Dan

I have a nine month old pup that got very sick. She had tore a bunch of bubble wrap insalation out of her dog box and at first I thought she had eaten some of it. The day before she was fine, but the day she did it she got really sick. She tried to throw up, but it was just white foam. When she had ...

Jimmie Abshire, What do you do with the wire clothes hanger? Whip them to death or hang them? Dan

Randy, I always just tell the kids that one dog broke down and the other one is towing it. Dan

I agree with Hare Hunter on running her solo and then with other dogs, but I can't say for sure but she may be too eager to run the front and her legs over run her nose. It sounds like the other dogs are content to run where ever they are and by doing so they are cutting her to pieces on the checks....

Yes, an E-collar sounds like the best suggestion. A babbling partner is as bad as a babbling dog. Probably can break a person faster than a dog. I would think he would learn quicker. Just be careful though that he doesn't get collar smart. You might have trouble getting it on him next time. Dan

MARR24 I didn't know there were this many people close around here that are on this board. I guess you learn something new everyday. Well good luck to your husband and father-in-law. Like I said above, I'm not going to get to go for awhile, so someone might as well enjoy. The last time I got to go o...

Ohiohunter, I'm sorry you had a tough time, but I'm glad it wasn't a good day. I live in Carroll County and hunt there a lot too. I didn't get to go out last Saturday because of prior plans and the day looked like it should have been a good one. I was hating it too! I don't feel so bad about it now....

There's not a thing wrong with the way his head is marked. It's his crooked nose that I would be really concerned about. There lies the real problem. ---- Just kidding. He is a fine looking hound. Who wants a dog that looks like everybody else's anyway? I never did. Dan
