The pups

If anyone actually reads this I've got two bluetick pups.  Thor and Mary Jane.  Ran them five hours yesterday, and three today.  Coming along real nicely.  Showing more hunt every time out.  I just hope they don't get over 15 inches.  Can't trail them if they are :/

Stupid weather

I don't mind cold weather, but there's a point where it get's to cold.  It's been like that here lately.  With work starting back I had today to go hunting since I'm usually off on the weekends.  Well every other Saturday for my second job.

Go figure the Saturday I'm off theres a thunder storm.  No running, nor hunting this week.

Pups doing well

My buddies give me a hard time.  One of the many things they are good for.  At their advice I sold down.  I wanted to get down to two dogs, and I couldn't move my bluetick pups.  I like them.  Built great, good looking, and love how they are papered.  That doesn't mean they will be good gun dogs first, and trail second.  While having them up for sale I took them out in the wild with my grade gyp Sam.  Second time out the bluetick gyp Mary Jane opened up.  Sadly the rabbit holed up about 20 yards on the chase.  Next day went with a buddy to hunt.  He's got a nine month old pup while mine are seven months old.  I consider Sam a pup at just 21 months.

The day went fairly well.  Hard to shoot at anything. I seen the back end of a bunny and that was it.  Pups done real good though.  Started hunting, and tracking.  Both opened up that day.  The gyp Mary Jane seems like she's coming along good.  Ran a track real nice.  Thor is coming along the male.  He's been a bit tough to handle, but came right to me for a change.

Overall the pups are doing well.
