Dog Box Confessionals
The BoxEveryone that see’s that Dog Box brags on it. It’s home made from a mix of bought and scrounged materials. It’s mostly ply wood with a 2x2” frame. Everyone likes the color, especially me (tell me you like the color). Some people question it, but, you can squeeze up to six dogs into that box. Four is ideal.
The angle iron frame is for “Rigging”, where a “Strike Dog” dog is snapped onto it and slowly driven along to see if they wind something. Sometimes it can be a useful practice. It also has uses of Hunters riding on it, a dog that is caught and won’t fit into the box or strapping a cooler onto it. I admit I’m hauling it around right now for not much, but, truth is put a step ladder on it while its in the truck and you can really reach the eaves of the house. I’ve been staining my house.
I did the Duracoat job on the Socom 16 (308
There’s concern this year tat they will be “Stove Pipe Bears”, lean from lack of food and will be able to run more (on account of the late freeze). From what I can see acorns are spotty. But, where there’s acorns, there’s acorns. There is a white oak down the drive way that is loaded. I’ve been told of a place on the
Now, I know this post is a little…Mountain Nerd…But you’ve gotten a dose of…Mountain Nerd…Oh to be a Hill Billy Adrenaline Freak…Any way if It’s your first time here, “dance around the camp fire, hang around a while."
I just heard this song on the radio as I wrote the last paragraph. "It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else"...

Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out
Or looked down on
Just try your best, try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves
When you're away.
It just takes some time, little girl in the middle of the ride (over, and over)
Everything, everything will be just fine (over, and over) Everything, everything it'll be alright (alright)
Hey, you know they're all the same
You know you're doing better on your own (on your own)
So don't buy in.
Live right now
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough
For someone else
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride (over, and over)
Everthing, everything it'll be just fine (over, and over) Everything, everything it'll be alright (alright)

Appitude is better than attitude . . . I guess. I always enjoy hillbilly nerd or whatever. There is so much I don't know from nothin' and I just enjoy reading about all of it. White oak is special you can spit it easily and use it to make all kinds of things. I have a split white oak basket my step-father made before he died . . . made one for everyone of us . . . a memory from his youth and a memory of him now. Keep it alive and pass it on . . . it's important.
Thats right Bill, I've got an appitude. White oak is good wood, has alot of uses. They tend to be more solid than the Red oak which has to fight the crown die back, which comes from poor ground.
Will do, Bill.
That's the scout rifle setup, right, with a pistol scope mounted forward? The ol' Lt Col (Jeff Cooper) would be proud of you, A.I.!
I tried that setup on one of my M-44s and just couldn't seem to get the knack of looking through a scope that far away from my eye. It might be age that's the problem. :-)
But definitely a nice setup. I like the looks of that M-14 clone, for sure.
Ok, I like the color and for a hunting dog box it's a Jim Dandy of a dog box. However, I hate dog boxes when I see them I get this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. From what I know of you I trust that you love your dogs and take mighty fine care of them, but around here the people I see using dog boxes well, let's just say how I see them treat their dogs in those dog boxes makes me very sad. It's disturbing in more ways than one. Here nor there, you are quite talented in the handy man department.
Is that the rifle from some posts back that you were talking about painting? It's looks nice, you did a job well done.
If you don't have a good attitude then I would think you wouldn't have good appitude? Maybe not, dunno.
Gunner, it is a Scout Rifle set up, you look through the scope, which is not magnified, just a red dot, with both eyes open.
That M44 would do the job, can't complain about the caliber.
Annon..I assume to be MEW, I don't know how you see people treat their dogs, but, most everyone I hunt with are good to their dogs.
Yes, that is the rifle and I do have an Appitude...
I know you take care of your dogs. Now, have I missed a picture of Squeaky? Now that's a hound right out of the history of Appalachia and you are as pleased and proud of that dog as can be . . . it's in your writin' so there. Why you even like Bosco and some of the women you've dated. (I am laughin' so hard . . . I just had to do it. It was the devil that made me . . . was it from the Devil's Courthouse up on the Blue Ridge goin' toward Cherokee . . . that's the right name, right?) Randy is still workin' on a meal. Take care. Bill
Alright, Bill, you and the devil...No, I ain't posted one of squeaky yet, Bosco is too camera shy.
The women I've dated don't want to be associated with the dogs, I'm sure.
Never hunted bear--thanks for the primer! Maybe I'll get around today to posting where I was yesterday--did you see what App State did to Michigan?
I don't usually keep up with it, but, I did hear. Everybody thought that was going to be the other way around.
I only saw the news highlights of about the last two minutes of the Appalachia State vs Michigan but it was a game by itself. Wow . . . and a good ending too. Sometimes the mop flops your way . . . once in a great while. It is a little cooler in Columbia . . . hope it makes the training easier.
Mike just told me his .450 was still at Buck's but said it'd be October when it got fixed. He aims to get a pup out of the 3 we saw yesterday. Says you shoulda been riggin squeaky sunday too and that we shoulda turned loose monday. He wants me to put corn in his 2 feeders tomorrow-it'll be after dark.
Bil, about the only thing I really have to say about that game is good for the under dog. Otherwise football doesn't mean that much to me. Like Tom Petty said, "even the losers get lucky sometime".
Twister, done gave us away...We spent a couple of days training dogs. With all of that being said, remember, that was discussed. I would with another good dog there, I know there are more than one bear on that creek. Next time we'll let 'em go.
Now you know how I felt when he kept on tellin me that after I'd done told more than twice. Howzat pup? You named it yet?
Certain people come here and read comments, we're going to lose them...le'me post about the pup.
