Mandy back on the wood...
Well, Mandy did great with her pups and got them weaned last week, so she went back to the woods this week. She took off like a million bucks and knew it had been too long since she had a chance to put one up a tree. We let her stretch hers...and our...legs for one good drop and then let her rest. Didn't want to risk getting her too hot and and milk left over too hot. I look forward to what is to come from her pups, I only hope they are just like her!

Puppies...
Well, the pups are coming along nicely, they are on real food now and will be off mom in about a week. We'll finally take back to hunting the mother and look forward to training a couple pups. If you're curious, the pic of them all piled up is feeding time...it's hilarious how they climb over each other for just a bite of whole food, they love it.
The kill season opened last Monday and will about a 3 mile walk, we were successful with one large boar coon. 3 miles usually aint a big deal, but the last 1/4 was straight up...and I'm outta shape!

Pups are here!
Pups born 9/13 during the night. She gave birth to 12 very healthy looking pups. That is a high # for a female her size, hopefully she will be able to raise them all. Usually by the 3rd day if they all look well they will make it based on her abilities. We had hoped they would all come out red and white but a more than a few look like their grandpa who is mostly black and white. She had 8 males and 4 females. We hope to raise 2 and sell the rest. Quite a few booked early before they were born but still a few to sell.
Can't wait to see how they do in the woods.
