Zuma:
Bob you may have typing your post while I was posting my last,
I would appreciate your input very much too. Cause I just read your post--
Just what I am talkin about.

Zuma....The way I see it all of the hobbies we've gotten into are interrelated with the love of animals and the outdoors being the instigator.The journey of experiences along the way.The people you meet and the places you go with the country you see are all good memories.I still have a pair of hounds on the yard from my old stock.They are the 7th generation with my kennel name in front of them all.Black Land Kennel.A few outcrosses there too but to like kind talented individuals that were shirt tail related.Mostly all gr.nt. or nt. ch. in their background.Does'nt totally mean everything about the titles though.I've had open dogs not campaigned that were better than many gr.nt.'s and produced outstanding individuals.
When money enters into the picture from them sometimes the fun can leave though but remembering exactly what the basic thing was that got you started will keep the enthusiasm alive.Keeping a healthy perspective.
Bob....I seem to remember our encounter at the classic.That was back in 2012.I've gotta get back there sometime.I managed to stay out of trouble coon hunting.It's a great hobby!!!!Congrats on your red dog's accomplishments.There are a few fellas in Alabama/Missouri/and Tennessee that are hunting my stock to this day with the same results.I've sent dogs from Canada to New Mexico and from Washington to North Carolina and from Wisconsin to Florida of these dogs to coon and big game hunters.Hunted in most every state.Not all of them but a coon dog is a coon dog no matter where his feet hit the ground.

Zuma:
I made this in the eighties after I retired from coonin.
My black and tan tracked a coon all night. He was slow but
sure. Everything was totally froze over. I walked to the tree
with Hush. It was daylight and the coon didn't even wake up
with Hush barking up the tree. The coon was sleeping with his
head visable in the den hole.

Wow Don, you truly are a man of many talents, I was totally in surprise that you were in to the coon hunting so much. I really liked your casting of Ole Hush on the tree, What did you make it out of ? Bob

bjrogg:
Now that is a really cool tribute to your coon hound Zuma. Like Bob said you are a man of many talents and interesting hobbies. I think Ed said it how it is. It's all just so intertwined hard to know where one hobby ends and another one starts. I think that's what keeps it so interesting to me and like Ed said not getting to much into the money part. Nothing wrong with a little compensation or bartering, but I try to keep everything just a hobby and not a job.
