i tried to call you today gatoman. Just bored here watching football all day its either that or deer hunt,(borrrrring).
Tobey,hows whiskey doing.The guy I got the dogs from in Idaho says roxie and Whitey are both better cat dogs than bear dogs.I was awful pleased with them on bear so am some...
Man that sounds like fun !!! I have never ran deer before,well,at least not on purpose !!!! Do you guys run tracking stuff on your hounds ?? I dont mean to knock the deer dogs but it must be pretty easy to train them isnt it? Stupid question for you boomer. Do your dogs ever trash on anything.I...
Around here its not clearcuts but housing developments and condos.And yes it is depressing but what can you do.Thats why Tobey moved where he is,Funny thing here is that there is more big game,bear,moose,deer than there has ever been.It is just real hard to hunt them due to the developing that...
I bought a Yamaha Bravo last year and it went real good.Not much for breaking trials with the short track though.Like the Elan when you do get stuck it is easy to just lift out yourself.Also 2 guys can easy throw it in the back of a truck without a snowbank to back up to.Even Tobey and I did...
Go get him Gatoman!!!Any room for company?? I really want to see a lion this winter somewhere.This is the worst time of the year for me.I could still run bears for another week or 2 but there are a ton of people in the woods right now chasing those silly deer !!!!I am basically done till...
Tobey I had a ball up there.It feels exactly the same for me too,vacation!!! You know I only take a handfull of sports a year but it is still some hard at times.Sure is nice to just be along with a fellow houndsman where I dont have to be the one in charge and doing everything myself all the...
2 days with Tobey and 2 treed bears. Man I had a great time Dale. That was one super run today wasnt it ??
I will write up the story later but I will tell you guys now that Tobey likes to get the truck as close to the bear as possible,even before they are treed.Talk about dropping in on the...
you are right on the money Gatoman. I only run 3 or 4 at a time so keeping 5 broke dogs sound good.Then my Spot dog gets nailed by a rough bear one week and then gets hit by a wounded bear the next week.Havent been able to run him for a week now.
I run the 4 I have on a bear that runs ledges...
If any of you guys have a going dog that you want run on bear for the next month let me know. My dogs are being run hard and I could use some fresh legs. Dog will get some kills and plenty of running.Will be run with my personal pack of 5 dogs that are all broke excellent natured hounds. I only...
A scope is grest when things are just right and the bear is way up and staying still. I would have burned every scope in the world yesterday !!!
Just me and the hunter and a nice bear sitting in the crotch of a tree looking down.Guy had never seen a bear before and the look in his eyes showed...
Gatoman, I am very pleased with those dogs.I made out relly well on the whole deal.I kept 3 for myself.I ended up selling one of them a couple weeks ago.He had just turned 2 and was doing really well.He had one habit that drove me nuts.He whined all the time. If you left him home he woul;d whine...
Hows Rock doing?? I am sure that would help you a ton getting him back in. I switched hunters around because we tagged out so early last week. I can come up on the 7th and hunt for at least 3 days that week.That is when you wanted me to be there ,right??? That must be when your moose season is on.
In N.H. or Maine that would be awesome. I have done 5 bears in 5 days before.They werent consecutive days though.It was like 1 bear,didnt hunt for 2 days,2 days 2 bears,etc. Getting more than one a day around here is really really hard if you are just running one pack of dogs. Now if it is...
Hi Ben and Starr.Welcome to the board.I am George Pelletier from rochester N.H. right on the Maine border.I guide both N.H. and Maine.Mostly bear with hounds.Dont do any bait hunts.We've never met but I have heard about you from some other guides in Maine.Do you have hounds?? If so the hound...
Thanks for the pics Tobey.That is a beauty!! That southern fellas got a pretty good smile going there dont he?I'm online at work right now.2 1/2 more days to go for me. I showed these pics to a couple girls in the office here.they said they didnt know which one they would be more afraid of,the...
Gatoman, I know what you mean by accident.I treed 2 this training season.I wsnt too happy.Both of them were off baits.One dog did all the work!!!The others were at the tree but they knew it wasnt right.This was the first time in the 3 years that I have owned him that I have seen my Spot dog...
way to go Maineiac !!! I bet he was some pupmed!! Probably cant wait to go to school now just to tell the kids.Wished you lived a little closer .I would love to run my dogs off your hot baits.Mine arent doing crap down here.How far are you from Sanford???
Not a bad start Tobey.Do you realize your hunters saw more bear than are probably in the whole area I hunt?? Man you have some game up there.
I finished the training season real good.Treed 3 out of the last 4 times I hunted.Got out run the other.Struck one from the truck but the others came...
