Miller27 and I headed out this morning with 5 dogs.That is the most I have ever taken at once.Had my red dog Whiskey,3 dogs I bought from Idaho this spring and the one from washington state. Rigged for about an hour and not a peep. Decided to try a blueberry field.On the way there the box blew up.They all struck from inside the box as I hadnt put anything on top yet. I let Whitey,new one from Idaho down first.She is supposed to be an excellent cold nosed strike dog. I knew the track wasnt red hot as the dogs quieted down some when I stopped. Whitey went flying up the road 20 yds,ran into the woods with her head up,went 50 yds and opened up. I turned in 2 more and they went out trailing good.I said the heck with it and turned in the other 2.I normally dont like to turn them all out like that,just in case LOL, but these dogs have never struck any off game yet so I took a chance that they were as straight as I was told they were.
Miller and I drove up the road a mile or so and they were jumped. Drove up a little further and all the dogs crossed in a real tight pack. They were really puttin it to him.They went out of hearing in a couple minutes so we deciided to drive around to see if we could hear them from another mountain.It took us about an hour to drive over and come back to where we last heard them. I drove up an old logging road and got out to listen and they were treed.They werent hammerin real hard though and seeing as this was the first time I had ever ran 3 of these dogs I wasnt sure what was up.I looked up on the side of the mountain where they were barking and there was one big bull pine tree there.It had a big black spot in it !!!Miller and I walked the long(LOL) 150 yds to the tree and there was the bear and the dogs,all 5 of them.One 3 yr old,Magic,was about 15 feet up the tree going nuts treeing.I praised them up and we tied them back. I think they had been there for an hour or so because they were beat.This was the first run of the year for 4 of them.We waited for the bear to come out to rerun him but he would have no part of it.We drove the truck up to within 50 yds of the tree to a landing.Loaded all the dogs,sat on the tailgate and had a soda and he still wouldnt come out.We said goodbye and drove off.
I was really impressed with a couple of those new dogs.I have driven them alot of miles without a peep and now i know why,they hadnt smelled any bears !!!! One walker that had just turned 2 didnt tree much at all but he was right there.I think a couple where he can see them or see one come out will help him alot.The 2 grade females did excellent.Whiskey,well shes Whiskey,hasnt missed a tree in 2 years now.The new dog Boone,who I still have on trial, sounded like he led the race but I didnt se him at the tree when we first got there.I first saw him as we were tieing dogs back.He may have been there and I missed him though.When i brought him to the tree with a leash on he treed wicked hard.The bear was way up where you could barely see him from the base of the tree.I will know about him in the next couple weeks i am sure.
The guy i got these dogs from In Idaho sure wasnt bullsh***** me about them.They are broke bear dogs.
That Miller is sure a game magnet.Killed a coyote every time he went last winter and this is the first time he has ever been with bear dogs and we tree one!!! Congratulations on your first bear tree Chris !!!!! That will probably be the easiest hike you will ever have !!!!
