We all had our heads out the window looking for tracks when one of the dogs cut loose and peed.I was sitting in the back seat and watched it run right down the back of my uncles neck. We never did get a lion going that day but we sure had a good laugh at uncle Kirks expence.Along with getting to here a good race these kind of old storys are what makes hunting hounds fun.Brings back a lot of memories.
These are too funny!
About 30 years ago Dad and I was driving up a road and seen a cat run across the road. We turned loose on the cat along with my cousin that was following behind us in his truck. He had just started hunting with us because he just moved to California from Arkansas. He loved to go with us and was just getting his first dog. He had a Trigg pup he got from my Grandpa. The dogs ended up treeing the cat. Not many of the dogs treed but just one Trigg dog Dad had treed like a coon dog. The others barked about one time a minute or so. Dad shot the cat out and my cousin tossed it up on a high limb to get the dogs to tree on it. His dog jumped up to grab the cat and hit his belly on a limb and the dog squirted piss across his entire face and mouth! He dropped the cat down to the dogs and started spitting and gagging, then got his ass chewed by Dad for letting the dogs chew the cat hide up. I guess it wasn't his day.
Just 2 years ago I talked my wife into taking me out to road my dogs. I just had shoulder surgery and couldn't drive. We was roading the dogs when she thought she hit a dog because one went real close to the tire and barked. The dog was on the drivers side and about that time the smell of skunk hit us strong. She gunned the truck up the road and turned on the dome light. There was orange looking skunk piss all over the drivers side window. The problem was the window was cracked down about an inch and there was even skunk piss inside the cab of the truck on my headliner. She was mad as hell at that dog. It was a young dog that had never seen or been around a skunk. They are rare around here.
It took about 20 dollars worth of skunk smell remover and about a month for that skunk smell to leave my truck. My wife hated that dog that caught that skunk after that and hasn't went since.

Well about a mile into our circle one of Hoy's 18 month old running walkers just dropped dead. His brother got all upset and said he did'nt know what to tell Hoy. I told him, Just tell him the truth that you ran over him! LMAO He got so upset, It was commical.

slowandeasy!! It may have been sick and wrong, but it was funnier than hell!! When the dog dropped dead, I was watching him and he just dropped like he had been shot. I told Hoy's brother to stop the truck ol so and so just layed down. I got out and walked back to him and he was deader than a doornail! I started lauphing and told him I can't wait to get back to Hoy and tell him how you ran over his dog!! LOL Must have been the inner child come out in me and his name was Chuckie!!

At the time I had caught a couple bobcats with my dogs I was about 16yrs old, being a top notch cat hunter(in my mind) I thought it would be O.K. to let my buddies dog start with mine. We were roading them up rowland cr. on my family's ranch when the dogs opened up the hill. We drove up the road to listen to a fine cat race. As luck would have it a timber company was getting ready to log a piece that bordered the ranch so their were 3 rigs filled with people, timber reps, fallers and other people from my area that would be impressed to hear such a good cat race. We pulled up right behind the last cutters rig and they asked what the dogs had going. I told them I had cat dogs and a cat would be tree'd soon, if they would like to go to the tree they were more than welcome. I was very proud of me and my dogs and I am sure it showed. About that time the dogs were moving fast right towards us. But to my disbelief a yearling doe came shooting off the bank with her tounge hanging out, the dogs right on her. She was run pretty ragged and took santuary almost right at our feet bouncing off one of the trucks fenders. Red in the face I sprung into action, working those dogs fist to cuff like a mad man. It must have been a good show because those other fella's got to laughing and couldnt quit, I could still hear the laughter rolling from the trucks as they drove away. I was taught humility that day.

Believe me, at the time their was nothing funny about it. But now I have to chuckle a little bit. John.

J.C. , Until you have seen a true deer burning dog you do not know what is possible.

. And If memory serves me right, one of those deer burners came from you.

if one of the dogs came from me that deer would have never made it to the road.

i was roading my high powered cat dogs one morning when they all of sudden got real excited like they do when a cat has just crossed the road. they were spinning around tails wiggeling , let out some squeels and squawls and left the road. they went about 20 ft and caught a mountain boomer . i didnt even correct them , just got the boomer and went on hunting. tied the boomer up a tree and caught 12 cats off the same boomer over the next 2 days. that was nothing catching that many cats in 2 days the wierd thing was they were all over 60 lbs. .

I dont know what a sizzering is. But a boomer is a rodent about the size of a muskrat that lives on land and has a stub for a tail. They eat fern, young fir trees, elder berry and other greenery that you might find on the Oregon and Washington coast.They are especialy hard on the young fir trees that have just been planted snipping them off at the ground and storing them for food. I have seen them climb 10or 12 feet tall trees snipping off the limbs to eat later.

Thanks Larry! Never heard of them before! A sizzering and a gigetis is just a generic term that says "I don't know what the hell they are running"! LOL
