  1. Small bass from creek are best to eat in my opinion.I don't eat anything from our rivers.I don't eat catfish as they eat things that would gag a maggot . As you can see that sunperch was trying to swallow a worm as long as him. They will get up to 1 to 1 1/2 pounds.They are very aggressive.Im loading up now to go get em?
  2. We have snakes that get much longer than cottonmouths.A grown cottonmouth will be close to 3 foot.Its the poison and cottonmouths attitude that makes them dangerous.
  3. I hit him with paddle but didn't do nothing but make him mad ? Scary part was I had to come back by him to get to truck.I left him alone on the way back as it's not fun fighting with them from a kayak. I ain't scared of snakes but cottonmouths are the devil in disguise. When I spotted this skin I knew it would be close.Because of this detail I was able to have the upper hand.Im not scared of snakes I can see.Its the ones you can't see that scares me ?
  4. I hit a local creek today for a couple hours and caught several took a few pics. Using light tackle these are quite the fight and the cottonmouths keep you alert. Gonna play hooky from work tomorrow and go all day .Need a break from this crazy world. THE above fish is called a red-eye bass or coosa bass.They are only native to a few creeks in Alabama and Georgia. The others are largemouth and a sunperch.
  5. Speaking as a boy who grew up in Alabama I hope your wrong.American bulldogs are nothing impressive from a hog hunting stand point.They can be good guard dogs.But I grew up hog hunting with some of the founders of American bulldog.They are not a true catchdog.As a true catchdog in Dixie will sieze an ear and will not release until dead or dog is removed by a breakstick.A dog of this type is needed to protect his owner.American bulldogs don't do that on big boar hog.Ive seen jagdterriers of my dad's with twice the grit of American bulldog.Seen some black mouth curs with more grit than ab This i
  6. Good wife good daughters.I am a happy father
  7. These are my greatgrandparents mule traces for working a plow. hand made.My grandfather used them as a young man.One of my prize possessions hanging in my barn. Sorry for bad pic.Only one I had. If it wasn't for mules who could plow all day and live on briars The south would have starved to death. Cheers to the donkey for producing what we needed
  8. I'd say your right. There was a large donkey next door to me as a kid he ran down and killed 2 of my jack Russell's.I came home one day and he was tossing a full grown potbellied pig in the air and catch it.After the old donkey died a fox moved in.Could be coincidence but doubt it.Donkeys actually seem to enjoy a good scrap.
  9. Here in Dixie donkeys are kept in fields with goats or sheep.They will instinctively rundown and kill coyotes.Thinking back that's the only time they seemed happy?
  10. Anything I would have heard would have been years back as I haven't associated with anyone in years.If they selling leave them alone plain and simple.In my opinion if they register their dogs leave them alone.I would recommend digging deeper into the dogs and researching.
  11. ? I didn't have internet access back then but did log on with a buddies account at his house once or twice Colby throws cold dogs which makes them better hogdogs and would recommend for hunting type crosses. In my opinion SIXBITS stuff wasn't nothing special either. An old man I knew who is dead and gone called up the "Cajun" 30 years ago and said Mr F mine will go back but can't do much.The Cajun said partner I had some of them too I gave em to Mr Elliot. I had a friend who lived closed to kershner who said they were real. By the way I believe Mr Don was
  12. You are correct.Thats very interesting.It was the only one.I would have loved to seen it in person ?
  13. 1920-40s Tudor made a name for Colby dogs. Then Heinzl made a name for Colby.Then teal Then medlin. Real dogmen from this sport rarely sell dogs.They will simply farm you a pup with no peds and tell you if you sell it they will shoot you Technically speaking all bulldogs here have some Colby in them.
  14. I'm not looking for an argument but speaking as a man in Dixie Mr Yokel you are correct same as Mr Gnasher in my opinion.But they are useful hogdogs none the less. ? The last Colby crosses I heard of doing decent were colby bitches bred to a son off jeep.They are long gone and I didn't see them. SIXBITS was bred to some Colby bitches but was mediocre at best. In my opinion the best from this country wasn't made available to other Americans or British. As with most dogmen some of the best was never heard of as they didn't want to be heard of.That doesn't change their w
  15. As I have said before I have only seen a limited number of lurchers here in Dixie.I do know someone who was to impatient to wait on a good lurcher and bought 2 KC purebred wolfhounds.They could run down a coyote but we're scared to do anything else.
  16. They are good catchdogs on hogs.Seen some give their all.But not considered fastlane by most anymore.As one old man told me they would bring a pocket knife to a gunfight.?
  17. He looks like he should.Its amazing to me how little Colby dogs have changed in 130 years.
  18. No sir I dont.Its Colby's tige I think from .100 years ago.Look in Joseph Colby's book.I think it is free on Google books.Lou Colby's book is worth a read also.
  19. The original pharmacist was a Confederate war vet who was in severe pain from saber wound that didn't heal properly. He didn't want to become addicted to opium.So chose cocaine.? His widow was basically given nothing for the business. Few facts not from Wikipedia
  20. I dug that out of the closet after reading your post.Hope it helps.Couldnt get a good pic.Had a few from them.they we're good catchdogs on hog.I can't find any pictures sorry. The last one I had from source.Bitch who was white and brindle and had 1 glass eye. I still have the handwritten copy because I never send in to register dogs.Why should I pay for them to tell me what I already know.
  21. They have started their own country inside Seattle.One of their demands is segregation.Black doctors and hospitals for black patients. They are asking for segregation.dipshits
