Mint those dogs were the nicest dogs around. I petted and played with both pits and the currs, but when the collars came on and I strung my bow they were ALL bidness! They simply want to please and they love their job. Both of those pits were rescued from the pound on their last day on earth, then trained into being workhorses...and my protectors should my arrow go astray and the fury of wild pig is opened up   :thumbsup:

Yeah, they are great dogs. The best dog i ever had was rescued from a ghetto thug that was fighting them. I had her for 14 years and she loved everyone. I have a pit mix now that I got from a shelter. Someone threw her away in a dumpster when she was 5 weeks old. At two years old she is becoming a great dog and loves everyone.

Great story!  Congrats to you and your buddies.  What a great adventure.  sounds like the guy you met has quite a spot.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

I think taking a coyote with traditional equipment is an incredible accomplishment. Great job!

Were you hunting in Camden? I used to hunt deer in the area WMA.  Great story and looks like you and buds were successful.
