Got that right Brewster!
I found that site a while back.
I posted it on here in another thread, and I think many passed it by.

Don't miss it this time, tons of good info, articles, stories, and pictures available.

Bookmark it y'all.
It's a great site!

Heck, he's even got a S/A link on his page, so it's gotta be good!

Thanks again Brewster, folks should see the stuff thats available there.
 
Great link by the Miccosuki about the Panther in 3A. I found it well worth the read.

Good site, more than worth the time to browse it !

Cowboy, I picked it up the other day, put it in my favorites
its full of top notch stuff Thanks.
 
Yeah Scotty,
That panther info give one reason to pause for a moment.

Perhaps having all those cats ain't such a good thing after all.
Startling how much meat they have to kill to survive.

Wonder how folks are getting along with all those wolves thier letting loose in other national parks.

Yeah K-mac, it's flat awesome.
I still ahve alot of reading to do there when I get a chance.

Good post Brewster.

Thanks again Bro!
 
That one story bout the guy with the goats and the cat problems
leavs me to wonder, just how far they could track that transmitter
collar ifin it was on the trailer hitch of some yankees winabago
headin back fer ohio?
 
Tracking collar on yankees trailer ball huh? Ok I was reserving this. Heres a short but TRUE tale.

Back when I was a lot younger and had just found the Swamps of Florida. A pal was showing me how to take deer during cracker season. We trod the ranches with a little headlight and a 6volt dry cell battery. We had done good for most of the summer but one night things turned against us.

We knew we had been caught when we saw the flash of chrome hit the side of the road and then another right behind it. No headlights. We had been lightin so we knew they knew within reason where we were and I wasn't about to tke off running. thats how ya get really hurt or caught.

My buddy was of the same mind and he hatched a plan to get us clear of what was about. He took his headlight and sauntered up to a cow and hung it on its horns and tied the battery on with the cord. Slapper her bottoom and she wandered off. Light a swingin in the night.

Well we sneaked back into the trees and watched. Come grey dawn there were several uniforms out in the fields walking up on this poor ole cow. They was a cussin and a fumin. Finally they got back in their trucks and drove off. We layed low for a LONG time and then snuck back to our pickup point.

Once we was back in town we stopped in at the local egg n biscuit diner and there were some uniforms of different organizations sittin there talkin about the cow with a headlight. We silently ate breakfast and eased on outa there. We laughed til we had tears in our eyes on the way home.

Was a close call but to this day, neither of us has ever been back on a ranch uninvited and never have hunted on them either. We do still tell the tale when we sit around a campfire with wide eyed grandkids though. The kids though seem to think were just a bunch of old codgers that would climb a tree to tell a lie rather than stand on the ground and tell the truth.

Who knows, maybe they are right.

Scotty,

You got me rollin' too man :) I can just see the cow thing!

Been out in Bear Island many years hunting when the chopper would fly over tracking the cats and ruin my hunt :cry:

KMac, maybe we should try that transmitter trick :wink:

Don't know what the range is on the standard tracking collars..but I do know that in 2002, 4 panthers were fitted with GPS based tracking collars...now THAT would be a treat if you could attach one of those babies to the back of a Northbound Yankee Coach...lol

Speaking of tracking collars, here's a funny story.

I have a friend that I hog hunt with. We hunt various areas in and around Polk County. He and his wife lived in between Wauchula and Bowling Green. He had suspected for some time that she wasn't living up her matrimonial committments but she was a sneaky little devil and he could never find the proof he needed. So one night just before one of her "girls night out" escapades, he took one of his dog tracking collars and quietly attached it to the axle of her car. After 2 or 3 hours he broke out the receiver and set it for long range...nothing....so he drove into Wauchula, stopping from time to time to shut down that clacking diesel to listen for the slightest ping of a return and also to go into the cooler for another "cold snack". With no luck in Wauchula and a quick trip through Bowling Green giving no results, Fort Meade (my town) was the next outpost where his Jezebel was more than likely hiding. Brief runs up and down Main Street (aka Broadway) revealed a slight beep to the North. Using his skills he had honed tracking his four legged dogs he zoned in on this 2 legged canine he had spent the better part of his adult life with. Upon nearing the outskirts of Fort Meade he was able to switch the receiver to Short Range and like a submarine hunting ship he followed his pings to a quaint little house with a closed garage door. Of course, by this time and the amount of miles travelled, he had consumed a substantial quantity of those refreshing beverages in the cooler that was strapped to his Flatbed F-350 and to say the least, he was nearing 10' tall and ALMOST bulletproof. He walked up to the windowless garage door and the pings were so loud it was if he was wearing it himself. He walked up to the front door and knocked and after several minutes the door opened and there stood the male half of the infidelity circle. After a brief exchange of color explicatives and accusation by my buddy, his nemesis finally relented and admitted to the fact that she was there. I think what really cause the truth to arise was the threat of that Flatbed F-350 being driven through the garage door to prove that HER car was there. That, folks, is some Country Boy detective work.
 
FoMeAirboater I think you just gave a new idea to some country detectives! LOL That is a funny story but an ingenious idea. I can just picture the pursuit in progress. I'm sure he didn't find out anything he didn't already know, it just allowed him to put a face with the suspicion.
 
You might be a Redneck IF.......... you wife has her own tracking collar !

Quick Send this to Jeff Foxworthy !

Hahahahahahahahahah

i never done this before but here goes. years ago me an a old coonhuntin buddywent to sarasota to check out agood young dog we had heard about ,we met haus montgomery a well known dog trainer and off we went to babcock ranch. he pulled that hound out of the box put him on the ground, ten minutes later he had a coon tree'd. We had a couple beers, talked a minute, and I told him, "If I could cast that dog at a place of my choosen, and he tree'd again like that I'd buy em, sure enough he did!" He throwed the dog in the box, I got in the truck, Haus got in the truck, and that dog went to sqawlin and barkin.. Then Haus hollered, "Shut UP!" To no avail. He pulled that dog out and comenced to beatin em, he got quiet, Haus jumped back in the truck, and then the dog started sqawlin again.. Haus again jumped out, that's when I noticed the shocken collar button in the seat of his truck!
