Greetings from Gobblers Knob. I figured that it was about time that I got around to updating my website. Highlighted at the top of this page is my new dog, Al's Lady. I acquired Lady from Al Weygandt. I have owned her now for about two years and she is the real deal. She is registered with I think six different registries. She is a N.K.C. Grand Squirrel Champion, Nite Champion and Show Champion. She is also a W.T.D.A. Grand Squirrel Champion. She only needs 25 points to finisher into a nite champion. She also has championship points in the other registries. I presently have four pups out of Lady that I am real impressed with. I am still hunting with my old partner Howard Harley. We have had a real enjoyable hunting season this fall. We did quite a bit of waterfowl hunting. I managed to kill a nice gobbler in the spring. We have killed in the neighborhood of 100 squirrel this fall. Doesn't sound like a lot, but trust me, we have treed a whole bunch more than that. I hate to kill squirrel, unless I eat them or have someone that wants them to eat. Some of the local hunters around here feel that they have to kill everything that their dogs tree. Pretty soon they aren't going to have anything to hunt. This year we caught 76 coon. We didn't hunt hard and would go out for a couple of hours and then go back to the house. I think I have to admit that old age is catching up with me. I just can't go all night, night after night like I could when I was younger. I have introduced my grandson, Austin Roblin to hunting, and we are having a ball. I still on occasion have broke dog or started dogs for sale. If I don't have what your looking for, maybe I can find it for you. Right now I don't have any plans to raise any pups in the near future. Oh yea, don't forget to take a kid hunting. I am a firm believer that if you take you kids hunting when they are young, you won't have to hunt for them when they are older. |
