Doing it Right

Training season.

So when this drops, it'll be our last week.

I mean, it's taken me...

All right, we have... basically eight weeks, nine weeks of training season.

Here I'm into my last week.

In the last two weeks, I finally started mixing and matching and kind of putting things together and getting the dogs where I need them to be and then have a female come in heat.

Last Wednesday, when the last podcast dropped, I had one of those runs that just, they just kick your butt.

Like, They struck right before daylight, put them down.

I mean, they were off to the races and I mean, they, they covered some ground and they covered some rough ground.

The bear actually made two, when I say circles, I mean, lot big circles into this country that is nothing but rocks and cliffs.

And they pulled up out of that twice, come up into the flat ground, made another loop back in there.

And, I mean, this race went on for way longer than I'd have wanted it to.

And if I could have cut the dogs off, knowing the country they were in, I would have probably have done that if I could have got in front.

In fact, I did cut the second loop.

Some of the dogs got strung out.

So I ended up cutting the back dogs off.

And I had two dogs.

I mean, they run for another hour, hour and a half, and...

And one of them still laid up.

I had three dogs out of that race, six dogs, you know, but I hunt.

I had six dogs.

I had three dogs out of that race.

And you guys know when you're hunting, the ground's hard, we haven't had any rain.

And when you're hunting in country that's rocks and cliffs and stuff, like they're all coming out with like swollen joints, you know, front legs will be swollen down in the lower joints or their feet will be swollen.

And I had three that, like that and I'm scared that one of my better females I'm not so sure she maybe didn't break a toe or something
