Had a little fun

Mom and Dad went on their morning walk,and Sandy,our mountain cur,treed a squirrel. They got back and we loaded Cap and Tug up into the Toyota and went over there. We got there and pummeled him with BBs trying to get him to come down. He wouldn't come out and wouldn't come out so Dad was getting ready to go get my brothers Gamo pellet rifle,when he stopped and we decided to let the squirrel go because he might be the "stud squirrel" in our neighborhood so to say. We don't have very many squirrels here. It was fun to let the pups out to see one up a tree though.

My favorite coyote call

This is my favorite predator call. It is a R&R RR1 open reed predator call. I like it a lot! It is extremely versitile,I use it it for everything from fawn distress to lonesome howl.

Ain't a little pup anymore.

My mountain cur pup Cap is growing up fast!! He's a good boy. I had fun playing with him today. He's looking like he's going to be a good hunting dog.

Spring thaw

Well it's been getting up to about 50 degrees here the last several days, and it is a sloppy mess!! A few days ago our neighbor started to drive across the river in his big four wheel drive tractor. BAD idea!! The ice has been melting and the river is very high and fast, with ice heading down the river at high rates of speed! Anyway, he started across and he was gone for a while,so Dad hopped in his jeep and went down to see what happened. He had gotten the tractor stuck in an ice jam and the water. Dad picked him up, and started for the house. Well, our neighbor got his big Dodge, and we got our big Ford, and we all went down to pull out the tractor. We got down there and it was stuck bad. We chained our trucks together and chained the tractor to the trucks. While our neighbor was chaining up the tractor, he fell up to his chest in that icy water!!!!! It looked veeeeery cold! We got it al chained up though, and commenced to pullin'!! We pulled and pulled, and one of the chains broke. We got it fixed back up and pulled some more. Finally, we got it out. Here are some pictures.




Well, the next day, we went over to look at the river. The ice was all piled up, and we wanted to see it. It was very cool!



Some of that ice was thick!!
Yesterday, the river backed up, and we went over to our woods to look at it. We couldn't have a fire down there now!!




That's all for now, Ben.
