Old vs New

Why do you assume that those comments were directed at you??

Jumping to conclusions is foolish, especially on an internet message board...

I'd like to see video of your dogs if you have any...

sorry to get off topic here but ike seems to be getting harrased for claiming his dogs will rig lions. if you are doubting that this can be done you are wrong. i have personally seen two old hounds that could rig a dry lion track well. a plott and a redtick, one of which i had the oppertunity to use to train a couple of my hounds to run dry tracks. unfortunitley he passed on before any of mine could pick up the skill. i did however get to see him strike a couple lions off the box and i mean tracks that were several hours old. so ike good on you and happy trails i can only dream of someday having a pack like yours

Thanks Bad Moon, and may your trees always be full of game!

I know Mike Leonard personally, but I don't know Ike, so I won't express an opinion here about who's got what to prove... I will however say, load 'em up and go hunt, the only person you have to prove anything to is yourself and your dogs. All this, "my dog can beat up your dog" bullshit is ridiculous. Ike, if your dogs can rig lions that's great! I would have to see it to believe it, just like anyone else... and I doubt I'll ever see it because i've got too much of my own shit to deal with...

Now, back to hunting.

Mike was the one who started it with his chicken shit comments not me. And if he wants treated with respect he shouldn't have made them.......

A lot of guys think they know shit, they even get pretty good at preaching it. And then there are others that are so damn dumb they tell everybody their shit is so good it don't stink , but it can catch a bear or lion every day of the year because they say it can. Most know that shit won't fly. LOL!
All I know is that this is Saint Paddy's Day and I have hear so much smelly stuff on here today it would make a walker dog turn plott. I guess sort of like my old Dad use to say, surround em, and then pitch a rock or two in there, they will get chicken shit pretty soon and you will see what they are made of.


Damn some of them old dudes were pretty smart!

And like you said chasintail, I don't give a damn if Mike can't catch his own trail unless he comes on this board slinging shit my way. For anybody to think I was attempting to measure myself up to Leonard or anybody is is about the most stupid thing I ever read.

Ike,

Where in that post did Mike say he was talking about you? You thinking he was implying such just proves a point a lot of these guys are trying to point out to you. JMO but what do I know.

Dennis,

Sorry I have been in meetings. These were general comments sort of tongue in cheek. Sorry if they caused any heartburn no offense intended.

so is everyone good again? Life is to short to get upset over an internet post

[Ike]

Apology accepted Mike, and sorry on my part if I jumped to conclusions that the comments were direct at me...........

cool videos...

are all those dogs yours? I thought you only ran redbone? Or maybe I misunderstood a previous post talking about red dogs.... (I'll wake up sooner or later...)

[Ike]

Yes, they are all my dogs and were raised as pups in my backyard. A couple of them will be thirteen this summer and are pretty much retired. Presently I'm feeding eight hounds and hunting six or seven. I do, however, have two young dogs out of my stuff that my son owns and I'll be hunting them hard this spring, summer and fall on bear--so they'll be eight or nine in the line up........

There is one exception and that is the black Shamrock bred plott dog. A friend who hunts plotts gave him to me wanting to see if he would run with my dogs as a yearling. He does, and is a really nice dog but seems to be a little hotter nosed than any of my hounds. He stays with my hounds and finishes most of the time so that's OK. He is a really hard tree dog with lots of grit and I like him on a hot bear bear really well........

keep'em treed,
ike
