We put this nice one up yesterday. You can't really appreciate it's size by the pictures due to the day being overcast. It was I'd say a good 400 lbs. We let it live to run another day!

I couldn't see it very good ,so I'll take your word on it lol man that could have been a world record.

Good job!!!!!!! Keep treeing them big or small.

Swervin; You keep telling me to post some. Now you know why they suck here to in the early am and Big Hemlock pines. Alot of mine look the same. Dave got Jenny Jewell busted yesterday. Still in the Hospital they think it's her back. If my luck don't soon change, I'm gonna be out of dogs man.

Gene ~ I hope your dogs Ok! I just don't understand why Irv didn't climb up in there with that bear to get a better picture!/?

You know big Al, I thought about it. Then I remembered those bite marks on your arm and hand.

I'll zoom in next time!! Dang Gene! Sure hope she's OK. You sure don't need any more bad luck!

Take it easy Guys!
Swervin

Irv: Those scars only give Griz a little more grit. I had a few just not as bad. .I guess instead of coonhunting with a monkey, you need a gorrilla for something of that stature.

Pocahontas: Ann told me you were on the mountain yesterday when I called. I hate to hear that on Jenny!!
Your right if it keeps on going you will be without. Youmay have to sell that Polaris to pay vet bills too. Nah
Polie said to tell you he hadn't forgot about you that they were still trying to find out what is going on with that problem. Conard is still taking care of Blackberry. I hunted with them two nights. her lights haven't got to 100 watts yet, but she is at least getting out. I have the feeling when they do it'll be full blown.

Griz: Could you see swervin trying to get up there to take a close up. that bear would have his dew-rag on.

Cooney;
I guess Jenny Jewell is done. She can't walk or stand alone. Vet bills are killing me man. I may have to sell more than the Ranger. LOL
I would like to see old Swervin get up close and keep the dew rag on. I would have loved to had him in the early season when we had that badden in a hole in Big Rocky. You will have to ask Lee about that fracas He is still shaking I think.

I hate to hear that on Jenny Jewell. I had to put Sissy down yesterday.

I love the fracis bears. Was it jenny that had the one in the rocks then came to 39 and the State road guy found her? I can't remember.

Iguess the closest call i've had is the time Dodge Man (Marcus), Dozer, and myself had that rabbit at the Greenbriar road heading to south fork. We struck and ranit for three hours in a monsoon. Got treed and didn't get any straps on till it was coming out. We'll then you know what happend. Fur was flying,stretching, and kicking going on. We'll I guess I kicked a little to close once and he didn't like it, and grabbed the heal of my boot and in the same instance my arse was on the ground, two dogs on top of me still streching . Dozer finally got them off of me aand it got away and ran again. Needless to say Every muscle in my body hurt for a couple days. That quick Jerk had a lot of force. Ah there's nothing like getting down and dirty. David

Cooney ; Naw that was Holly Tara.
