Put the walker to the test today!!

Post by Daniel Tremblay »

It quit snowing yesterday evening right at dark and I didnt feel like hunting in the dark so I waited until this morning to go out. This is what I found.

It was the only track I had found, which was at 11 a.m. So I figured I would put the nose power to the test. I turned Jocko and Starr out. Well it wasnt long and they decided to run another old track lol, cant blame em but it wasnt legal in Oregon so I pulled em and took em back to the track and made sure they passed up the lion. Well they trailed it a little ways and Starr disappeared and we were too far from the truck and I couldnt catch her. So I left her and cont. following Jocko's tracks. He crossed over three different lion tracks while trailing this cat and finished it like a finished dog. Not to bad for a pup a little over a year old huh??? This was his 6th cat tree and he did it all by himself. I will have to admit I am extremely impressed with his smarts and cold nose. Hope you all enjoy.

P.S.
The wife wouldnt let me take the D90 because cousin is dew to have twins any time now, so the pictures were taken with my phone. Hope the quality is good. Also I got lucky that Starr ended up trailin real close to the cat tree, so I was able to catch her with no harm done!

Damb Daniel, That's cool as hell! I was out yesterday from 4 till 10 but didn't cross any tracks, except elk and deer. Tons of elk. Constant snow, so even as the truck tire tracks filled, there were fresh animal tracks being made. I thought for sure I'd come up on something.

Great job though.
