sav · Post by **sav** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 3:30 pm

Man I get tired of this crap, but I got time today to stand up for myself.

Bigmouth, I mean bluemouse, show me where I put another persons hounds down??????

"I would bet a weeks pay check if you were to bring them long legged hare hound down here and cast them into the wall of briars I hunt in they would not go, and after you kick them in the bushes you would have to go in and retrieve them."

Here's where you put down mine and everyone else's in "the land of snow and sabortooth hare"

What where we supposed to discuss in this post, the awesome running and huge daily bag limts that where taken?? Christ sakes it's a thread about the tough running someone had, surprise surprise we are talking about tough conditions and extremes of all types. Suck it up.

exactly right bluemouse bring your long legged monster beagle and run some of the swappers down south the wont have enough dog power no just different conditions. We all have different conditions and get dogs that work well in those conditions and thats that

I'm easy, why else would I let you pull my chain

"in all this the dogs anit to blame right"

That's where I disagree.

the quality of running I believe was related to the conditions, not the quality of hounds.”

I have to respectfully disagree with this statement, I think it’s a mistake to blame conditions and overlook the part the hounds played.

What's your point patsmichbeagler? I stand by that, I could blame the conditions all winter long, or try to get dogs that can run in those conditions. I'm still trying.

sav , a man with good hounds dont have to make excuses, see if you disagree with that

sav what I'm trying to get acroos is that your hounds are good at running in what I would call harsh conditions 20" of snow 0 degrees do you think that they could run a swamper the way someone from that area hounds do. The way I took what you are saying is that if your hounds can't run in every condition then they are no good. Maybe thats not what yuou mean to say but thats the way it came across.

"a man with good hounds dont have to make excuses, see if you disagree with that" Can't disagree with that one.

patsmichbeagler, basically blumouse summed it up if you have to make excuses your dogs likely have shortcomings. I know for a fact mine have shortcomings, so I'll blame them and their lineage, not the game.

are short coming running in 20" of snow when they have never done it before or running a rabbit through water no it is not it is lack of experience.

I just got on and tried to get caught up with all my hate mail and to be honest I am lost!! One thing I can decifer is the repeating of this poor little thirteen inch hound swimming in all this snow, there keeps being reference to her size being a handicap- well when you have "20 inches of powder" the playing field is leveled! Bring a full fifteen inch hound and its in the same boat as that poor little thirteen inch hound-- and the seas are rough!! The smug ass-- Kurt Robinson

These beagle sites such come with a warning: " If you post pictures or videos of a hunt klr concrete will tell you how he would've done it better."

I think most of us like to see pics and stories of other people hunts. But why are people going to post when people like Kurt can't wait to rip them. I know this is a public forum and you post at your own risk but why does the minority have to try and ruin it for the majority?

I was on the trip with Tony ( I was the good looking). It was our 1st time hunting in those type of conditions. We learned some leassons. If you find that amusing (and I did) that's fine. Sit back in your chair and laugh. There is no need to mock others.

You know, you aren't trying to TALK about tough conditions at all, you are content to criticize someones hounds for not meeting your standard of a rabbit dog...

Thanks to all of you that know what I was trying to do here with this post...and no SAV, I was not looking for a fight at all, I debated whether I wanted to put the energy into posting and uploading pics and the like...its easy to see the ones that wanted a fight. Nothing but criticism from them.

Bluegrass, I'm just telling you what I saw. I'm not saying you don't have good dogs, I don't know what you have & I'm partial to the Ranger Dan breeding myself. More than likely, IMO, the dog I watched run that day was more used to those conditions than yours may be. I have been told, however, by more than her owner that she also ran on hard icey conditions when other dogs couldn't. And when I said she ran in snow deeper then her as well as most dogs I see run on sod; I meant that she may not have done it as fast physically because she was doing some hopping, too; but she never missed a beat otherwise. She didn't check because of the snow, she just kept going as fast as she could get thru the snow. Didn't know we were going to be so technical here. Just trying to tell you that its a truth not a fairy tale that dogs can run very well in deep snow. Take it for what its worth, I have no stake in any of this conversation. What does tick me off is when I put the word _abbit down & the monitor of this post changes it to wabbit.
