Some Lion hunting pics

[rockcreekcurs]

Here are some pics of a couple cats we have caught here lately. Take care and Happy Holidays!

[rockcreekcurs]

Here is another cat... it was an all day affair. Even our two 7 month old pups made the race and did a bang up job. Take care.

Mega wow!

Love the intensity of the photos. You can see the "wild" in the eyes of the cat and the "respect" in the eyes of the dogs!

What's all the blood from? Does the cat in the bottom pix have a broken leg?

It looks like you have a "catch" dog in one of the photos. Same with the pic we see the cold brand in.

[rockcreekcurs]

That would be dog blood, they like to mix it up and cats have sharp claws and big teeth. These cats were left to run another day. Take care.

P.S. No broken leg, it does look like it in that pic though.

So a cat lies down when hassled by the dogs? I'd have thought they'd ball up like a domestic cat does.

The dogs look pretty wary. I'm guessing that a cat claws them in and bites.

What does the brand stand for?

First clip of pictures, in the last photo, looks like one dog is missing a tail...

[rockcreekcurs]

They're all missing about half of their tail... We dock them.

I figured the blood in the second picture came from that dogs tail. A bloody tail on a happy dog sure can paint the countryside. Enjoy the big hound pics. Brings fond memories.

Hey Mason, come down and catch this one.





It'll take real dog power though, none of this running in a fresh snow stuff. But I'm sure the Mighty Mason Workman breed is up to the task. Good to see you catching some stuff.

[rockcreekcurs]

Hey T2... I started many years ago with dogs in that country, I know how hard it is to catch cats down there consistently, if anyone does. I have some pretty decent dogs now, might have to make a trip down.

Glad to see you are catching some stuff as well. These aren't "Mason Workman breed hounds"... Just trashy mustang bred hounds that get lucky now and then.

I hope you're doing well.

Take care.

something I've always wanted to do-

[Bristleback]

Mason, awesome pix, just awesome!


............good video clip, "former long tail hunter"...LOL

[Nightwish (Catpaw)]

Did one in 2004...loved it...still one of my greatest hunts...

Nice pics !

[rockcreekcurs]

Treed 2 kittens and their mama this morning, in some fresh snow (It was snowing on us all day) ... Oh yeah T2, most of these dogs go back to Wade's old Copper dog.

Hey Mason, Is that one dog the hound you had when i Picked up the curs this Aug? Anyway great pictures. Mel

[rockcreekcurs]

Mel- That's her buddy. She's actually making a pretty good dog for being just a year and a half old or so.

Thanks for the compliment, I hope Rachel and Rusty are earning their feed!

Take care.
Mason

nice pick

We caught another cat on New Years day. My 7 month old pup made the whole race, from truck to tree and did some damn good trailing. He was the second dog turned loose (after my Sadie @%#@!) and I am sure proud of the little dude! We hiked our asses off, clear up the side of a steep mountain, in waist deep snow. I was soaking wet by the time we got back to the trucks. The cat was nothing special, just a small female but what was special was the dog work that put her up. We're having a bunch of fun and I can't think of a better way to ring in the new year.

Take care.
