Re: midwest-progressive pack difference?

Jim Hall, where is the best place to find a schedule of events for Midwest trials? My hounds are on the conservative side of Progressive Pack, but I’d like to see a Midwest trial as a spectator!

Re: Anyone have a bad dog?

Also, ever notice that they're all medium or upper medium speed? I don't know why there's so many formats! This is gonna sound pretty general, but the biggest fault I can't get away from is having consistency in a dog. Two out of my four are pretty decentand level-headed most of the time. Then I hav...

Re: garmin question

I've read that the DC50 is pretty large for a beagle. Are the TT collars the same size as the DC50?

Re: Garmin,am i the only one having these thoughts?

I like this thread! I've been back and forth on whether to purchase a garmin or not! Back in 1994, I bought my first tri-tronics system. Swore I'd never have another hound without one! Then I got a wildlife materials 10 dog tracking system. Still have it and use it, but I watch my buddies carrying t...

Re: Bitter-sweet part of gun hunting

Well said!!!
I had a hard time finding rabbits this year at the few spots that I have.
I felt the same way on one of my kills this season!
Only one of five of my hounds care about a dead rabbit! But I do like to eat a few, so I take what I need, not too interested in filling a tailgate!

Re: how about your bad (worse) days

Good topic! I had a more bad than good this year. Strike 1-Couldn't get out much. Strike 2-Had a couple hounds decide to get mouthy this year, oh, and backtracking. 4 yr old and a 6 yr old hound. Strike 3- someone beat me to it at my best spot. Ran into him while there. He was bird hunting. He told ...

Breeding a 5 yr old female for the first time?

Wanted to get some opinions from y'all. I have a gyp that will be 5, July 2015. She was born here at my place and has turned out to be a quality female. She is smaller in size, maybe 11.5" and the particular male in my kennel is 12-12.5, I'm more concerned about the age of her than the size, myself,...

Re: Another weekend of gunning

Nice!!
I'd be happy with a fraction of that kind of action! I have lost most of my spots and northern KY public land is pretty well stomped down!
KDFWR could take some lessons!

Re: Most dominating performance you have witnessed??

You tell the judges didn't like jdell. That's why jdell got second. He destroyed that pack! I remember that day, as I was one of those judges! But I do feel that I need to correct you on one thing in particular. It wasn't that we didn't like J-Dell,his trial record speaks for itself! It was that La...

Re: NEW CLUB IN WESTERN KENTUCY - PADUCAH AREA

Once y'all get some hunts underway, as far as progressive pack goes, you may want to post some on the ARHA forum. The division is pretty active on there! Best of luck and maybe, see y'all down the road!

Re: Low Maintenance Line Of Hounds

I've got a male that doesn't require a lot of run time. Matter of fact, he looks better at the beginning of season than the end! The rest of my hounds are of the same blood, more or less. I saw a huge improvement in them through season. But in this particular males case, I pushed him pretty hard at ...

Re: Important Survey in Kentucky

I took the survey as well. I say leave it as it is for now. Where I'm at, it's a habitat issue. Farms broken up, perfectly manicured fields and fencerows. No habitat= no rabbits! I used to own 15 acres, had a heck of a time finding a rabbit when I first bought the place. I made cover, put out salt a...

Well, that's makin the best of it anyway! I have been wanting to get down that way and hit some public spots for the last couple years, just haven't made time! I have been thinking about trying a vacuum packer on my game. I do mine the same way, but we eat 'em within 6 months. I made a couple in the...

I can't get em to keep very long in the freezer and can only get the family to eat so many! Lol! Not trying to be a smar...
