First dry ground cat ( Kinda cheated)

Post by Marshall »

Well the other night my brother inlaw gives me a call telling me he had just seen a cat...... Well atleast he was about 80% sure it was a cat lol and he gave me directions to where it was. Well the weather here has not been the best for cat hunting and if anyone knows central oregon then you know how our ground is as far as holding scent. I thought what the hell why not. All the old houndsmen around here tell me that dry grounding cats in central oregon is not a likely situation but i had to figure this out on my own :D . Well i loaded the dog box in the pickup and the dogs along with the wife and kids, we headed to town got gas and then headed out to where he saw the cat. When we get to where he said he had seen the cat i drop the dogs and we start walking around. It takes about 5 minutes and the dogs hit the track and the way they were moving it i thought they had just jumped a deer or yote and my night had just went from lets see if we can do this to here we go lol. Well they ran about 300 yds and treed and i thought it was a fluke until i went in and found this :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

The entire family was able to get in there to the tree and i couldnt have been happier!!!!!!! I have been getting extrememly lucky thus far this year including treeing one cat and on the way to that tree finding another track and then putting the dogs on it on the way out of the first tree and they ran 75 yds and put another up.......... Like i said LUCKY!

Beautiful family. I am going to say you are not lucky, but amazingly blessed. Look at those kids. And a lovely wife that don't mind holding up a big cat. You must be one proud father! I am glad you caught that beautiful cat just so you could have an excuse to display the real trophies! So glad they got to experience that with you. congratulations. Living the dream!

Thanks guys, I hope that this run of luck continues throughout the season. These two dogs i have are pretty dang cat minded and have been doing a bang up job for me over the past two seasons and every time we get out they continue to get better and better. I just hope for a little better cat hunting weather and id be happy. Good luck to all of you this year!
