Hillbilly

It's time to correct some of your faulty math concerning the recent Masters.
To use an example -- a few years ago the best basketball player on the planet was a Canadian. It was two years in a row, actually, but no need to rub it in.
Statistics show that there are 481 Americans, 211 Europeans, 52 South Americans and 3 Canucks playing in the NBA.
Using your logic, it would be easy to prove that Canadians are the greatest basketball players in the world. We're not. Americans and Europeans are marginally better.
In hockey, it's no contest but in the more genteel sport of b-ball, we lack the depth and breadth to count as a power. We simply had one outstanding individual come along.
Levi has to be an outstanding hound to do what he did, but it's a statistical aberration, kind of like a total eclipse.
Have just returned from a recent tour of Eastern U.S.A. -- NY, Penn, Maryland, W. Virginia, the Old Dominion, the Vol State -- beautiful weather; the mountains are still imposing as ever; the red bud is in bloom.
Now I'm back and ready to get to work. Little event in Missouri that needs attending to. I've been jogging up a few mountainsides to get ready and the Man of Steele is racking up 40 km. per day.
Heard this Big Valley pen was a tough piece of real estate, so we're getting ready. The Man of Steele was even a little worried, but I told him, " Julys finish hunts in this pen, eh. It can't be so tough".

Re: Hillbilly

GLAD TO SEE YOU ARE GOING TO PULL THROUGH ERIC....BUT THE NUMBERS ARE CORRECT A LITTLE DECIVING BUT STILL CORRECT...

Re: Hillbilly

Amen Eric--Stainless Steele is ready!!!

Re: Hillbilly

btt

Re: Hillbilly

I HOPE THESE OZARK MOUNTAINS SRE READY FOR THIS...THE DRUMS HAVE ALREADY BEGIN TO BEAT....

Re: Hillbilly

Should be a good one! Now Ted & Eric its your turn Hillbilly is not planning on making the hunt!!!!! (EH!)

Re: Hillbilly

Mr. Hillbilly---This can not be so!! Eric and I have worked hard at making these arrangements and now we have the sad news that you will not be in attendance. I took fron your last post that you have Indian heritage. I too have this. My great-grandparents were Indian. We were hoping to meet as many people of "THE NATION" as possible on this trip. Please tell us Mr. Whitey is just pulling our legs!!!!

Re: Hillbilly

Eric don't let these guys yank your chain too much! They call themselves the nation but they are more like a clan. They are all nice guys and full of --it as they come! Heck I think HillBilly's eyes are even brown he's so full! What hunt are you going to plan to come to as I would like to meet you also. See ya at the Valley Mitch

Re: Hillbilly

Mitch--We were aiming for the Wolfhound Classic Memorial weekend---But if Hillbilly is not there ??????? (Ellsinore)

Re: Hillbilly

Ted I'm sure we'll get a reply as quick as he gets off work this evening, dont believe he'll miss the chance of meeting you guys though. From what all I can find out the nation (clan) will be there in force! EH! Get-em ready Mitch!!!!

Re: Hillbilly

He lives close enough to come visit even if he has to work and can't bring dogs. We are also planning for that hunt, hope to see you there! See ya Mitch

Re: Hillbilly

Can you recommend a motel where dogmen running at Big Valley are welcome?

Re: Hillbilly

Ted, I told you we shoulda snuck up on em. Hillbilly's heading for the hills. Rodney's marching on Georgia. Whitey will be off on a buffalo hunt.
Looks like we whupped em without firing a shot. Will be great to meet a fellow Walker houndsman like Mitch.

Re: Hillbilly

Ted I will get you a number for the motel & Eric my advice would be not to unload the gun Don't forget your Binoculars. Looking forward to this

Re: Hillbilly

HEY CHIEF IT WORKED...

Re: Hillbilly

Piney Woods/Cedar Inn 573-322-8391

Re: Hillbilly

I've never witnessed a Canuck getting scalped? It would almost be worth it, to head to Georgia by way of Missouri . bringing binoculars is a great idea, but if you plan on staying longer than a day you may want to bring some duct tape to cover the lens , " It may may it a little easier on your eyes". It's a very nice hill that the camp ground is on, and it would be terrible for those tears to wash the rocks off of it.

Re: Hillbilly

Hey Rodney--Sorry we won't get to meet you in Mo.---I expect Sonny will have a welcoming party arranged for you in Ga.

Re: Hillbilly

I expect Sonny, to be attending the July National by next Year.

Re: Hillbilly

Ted sheeeee, the stage is set,He will not be talking much smack after these Dry Branch units work them julie pops over
Rodney,I could have been going all along,our walker dogs has probally got as much july blood in them as some of these so called julies got walker blood

Re: Hillbilly

Mr. Hillbilly----Sorry to be blunt but will you be there or not?

Re: Hillbilly

Sonny, Do not humor them. We all know that Walkers do not have July blood in them.
The original Walkers came from crossing the fountainhead -- Tenn. Lead -- on native American hounds. The offspring were crossed on English and Irish hounds like Martha and Rifler.
Tri-color Walkers show the English influence; whites, reds and variations the native strain and black and tans, of course, are the result of that great old original Walker, Lead.
Conversely, any July hound that shows a color other than calico carries Walker blood. It's pretty easy when you study history.
Ted, Do not push Hillbilly too much. He'll show up when we least expect it.
Again, from my study of history, I remember the late, great George Armstrong C. being quoted as saying " I wish I could get my eyes on ol' Crazy Horse."
That was in the scenic valley of the Little Big Horn, just before he did.

Re: Hillbilly

MR TED IT IS VERY POSSIBLE I WILL BE THERE ONE DAY TO VISIT....BUT I AM NOT GOING TO LET IT BE KNOWN WHICH DAY...

Re: Hillbilly

That is good news Hillbilly--We'll look forward to seeing you!

Re: Hillbilly

AS MUCH AS WE HAVE PICKED AT EACH OTHER I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU AND ERIC...

Re: Hillbilly

No..No..No...It can't be true!! You guys from down South are totally trying to corrupt my buddies from North of the Border & bring them into the "Julie" Nation!! Say it ain't so!!
Reckon they might bring them "Walkin" dogs of theirs down for some fun & frolic!!
I'm envious!! Hope you guys have a GREAT TIME!!
Show them Canucks some ol southern fun!!

Re: Hillbilly

Skinny/Ducote----Will you be at Ellsinore for Classic? I was wondering about delivery of my Purchase Order #1?

Re: Hillbilly

ALLAN YOU MIGHT BE NEXT.... FIRST DUCOTE NOW EMERSON NOW MAYBE YOU...

Re: Hillbilly

I am colorblind when it comes to hounds! So the "Julie" colors don't bother me! I like the idea of speed. But I've got to draw the line on the "CURLY" hair!! Reckon I would have to keep em trimmed with the clippers!
Hope y'all have a great time with the Canucks!
But got to believe they'll head back North carrying nothing but Walkers!

Re: Hillbilly

OR HAIR....

Re: Hillbilly

OUCH!!!!!!!

Re: Hillbilly

C'mon now......Nair will any "Hair" cross the border!!

Re: Hillbilly

Allan--Me thinks you need to saddle up and meet us at "BIG VALLEY"!!

Re: Hillbilly

TED ..ERIC..YOU CAN RECRUIT A CALVERY OF WALKER MEN IT WILL NOT HELP YOU WITH THE TRIBE IN MO.SORRY

Re: Hillbilly

Ted...I would like nothing better than to make that trip! I'm sure it will be a fantastic time!
BUT...someone has to stay home and work to help contribute to the US economy!!
I don't have the luxury of government paid healthcare & pensions....

Re: Hillbilly

Ed, Stainless and I won't be relying on the cavalry.
We're gonna blow into town like an Alberta Clipper; freeze dry the shaggies and shaggy-owners and be gone before they thaw out.

Allan, You are now part of the wonderful world of socialism. Even an old codger like yourself can be sure of free medical care. Utopia, or at least Canada, has arrived. Drop all your cares and woes and head west, young man, head west!

Re: Hillbilly

ALLAN BETTER TO GO BACK ACROSS THE BORDER WITH HAIR THAN WITHOUT....ERIC THERE WILL BE ENOUGH HOT AIR IN THE VALLEY TO THAW THAT STORM BEFORE IT HITS THE STATE LINE...
