worked about half a day yesterday and couldn't keep running a cat off my mind, seems like I have a addiction, I don't drink, or do drugs, and wonder how any of that can be any more addictive than having a jam up cat or fox race, if its any better than those to I cant see how !!! last night started off with me droping dogs out and roading them for maybe a mile, when had one strike maybe 50 yards off the road, didn't take long and he was made to run, cat ran in a hardwood swamp for maybe 30 mins and decided he wanted to cross the road, he tried to cross 3 or 4 times and dogs were to close on him to try it, plus I had the light in his face everytime he tried it, finally he got abt a 10 second break and he crossed down the road from me on a big clear cut that was freshly plowed up and he got another lead and slung the guts outa them in the fresh plowed dirt , they tried but just couldn't get back under him so I caught off him and moved on, abvt a mile or to on down the road found another one, last night the woods were alive everything was moving, I have found out when the hoot owls are letting it out , its prime hunting time , here in south ga, they put this one to running also , ran him maybe 15 mins and he went in a big clear cut also, that had been freshly plowed , ran out from under them and they couldn't do anything with him, he ended it for them called them to the truck loaded up moved on, went past where they struck, put them back out , trotted maybe quarter of a mile struck again, they put him to running, this one got blistered, they ran him maybe a good hour and crossed the road I seen cat and dogs and he had teeth chewing at his fanny, he had to go, abt 2 weeks ago they caught a cat in this place and another has done moved in, and I know why, the wild hogs were having a party in there cause they was some kinda hogs grunting and squealing going on in there, here where you find hogs theres going to be cat also being for the cat to want to steal a pig, they love pigs ! this cat ran good for a while and don't know what he did but he licked his foot on them , finally got them out and decided to try and find a grey fox, moved on to where there are some and didn't take long , dogs were wagging in the road on one, they found him finally after about a hour of trailing and put him to running they ran him till almost daylight this morn , and I caught off and came home, there is no hell raising going on in my pen today, eyes beat abt shut , and ears striped from the briars ! they better get ready cause tomorrow night they going back !! hounds need running, not sitting up , only way to make one is with game ahead of his nose .
