Just more coonhunting...




Well, in between the massive snow storms of the year I've been coonhunting quite a bit. I still enjoy this sport very much as I love the chase and the hound. I've also been taking my 3 year old quite a bit and he seems to love it too. We even managed a very big mountain coon with him along a few weeks ago and we decided to have it mounted just for him. But, I tell ya, if it don't thaw out and quit this stupid snowing I'm gonna puke. Dern Al Gore and his global warming....he's such and idiot who needs a real job.



So, I'm very ready for spring time now, bugs hatching and brookies screaming at the sight of my SAGE. I've been tying a few flies and keep threatening to buy a new TFO but have yet to spend the moo-lah. Also hoping for an overnight backpacking trip in the spring to the smokies, never fished there, always stick to the home waters but will finally branch out a bit this year.
Well, until next time, go hunt or catch something....

Hi Jubal
Just found your blog yesterday and been reading some of your post about fishing and hunting expeditions. My wife and I will be coming to NC in the summer and will be doing some trout fishing in the Ashville area---do you know any place near there that would be a good place to wet a fly??? I really enjoyed your post on coon hunting. I use to hunt back when I was in high school with my dad. We had red=bone hounds and they were some of the best dogs I ever hunted with. Your post brings back some fun memories. I am becoming a follower of your blog, because I would like to keep up with fishing and hunting trips. Take at look at my blog and vote on my survey, might want to become a follower. I complete a new post every week. Bill

yea man, i love these hills...most of the time. I don't fish too much around Asheville so I couldn't give you many pointers. I've never owned a redbone but seen a few good ones over the years. I was a walker man until these redticks came along...thanks for the kind comments, I'll check out your blog as well.
