Getting back into dogs
« on: May 21, 2025, 08:08:45 AM »
Well, I am down 120 pounds and feel like a completely new man. Getting the knees replaced sometime in late July or Aug, hopefully find out pretty soon. Been feeling SO GOOD that I am getting back into dogs. Picked up a pup a couple of weeks ago and in the 2nd week in June running down to Utah to buy a new dogbox and then stopping over in Wyoming to pick up 3 dogs from a good friend. A pup trainer who is 9 years old, but has been on a 100 or so lions and about 200 bears. Another cat/coon dog that is fairly silent, usually catches the coons on the ground. Hoping he can tree me some bobcats this winter and a 9 month old female just getting started. Then stopping in for a couple of days in Salmon, ID for the Idaho trapping convention.

Great for you Machias and good to hear! 

My FIL had double knee replacements ~6 years back, and after the initial recovery has been much improved so hopefully similar for you.

Enjoy the pups and hunting adventures!
