Galla Creek Oliver--Tie

Attacked At Dawn

Early this morn, I heard the most horrible noise.  Thought maybe my new heating unit was going haywire...but no we were being attacked!

Langford's Rowdy

Ricky Langford brought old Rowdy home from the Ozark Mt. logging woods in his lunch box in 1990.   He lived 17 good years.

Langford's Rowdy

Gone but not forgotten on Galla Creek.

In A Hole

You will hear me ask Betty if she sees the hole in the tree. At first we don't spot it but then it is spied and we had to lead Tie away!

Buster and Roxy

Tree one "in a hole"!!

Pups From Past

Finding North

Moss grows more prolifically on the north side of rocks and trees.  You can sure tell north looking at this Oak.

Buster's Hold

Zack Kraft's Buster knows how to hold the squirrel so it would not bite him!

Hunting On Moss Creek

When squirrel hunting you get to enjoy all the streams and forests first hand.

Sissie's First Road Hunt

I took Sissie yesterday and let her hunt with Tie.  I road hunt (drive down a forest road and have the dogs run in front of my truck.  Sissie hunted like a big dog.  Lots of dogs will fall behind and follow the truck if they are used to the long run, but Sissie stayed out front like she knew what to do!

Tie Treeing Today

Roxy Working!

Zack sent another video of Buster and Roxy!  Sure is fun to watch!

Roxy and Buster

Zack Kraft sent this little video and message about Roxy and Buster.  Zack said he got so excited after vine adventure and the squirrel diving out that he missed the kill.  Buster was right on and Roxy was excited to say the least.
Read Zack's play by play--
Had a lot of fun yesterday. They found a squirrel and treed right out of the dog box. The squirrel went in a nest about fifteen feet up. I shook a vine and the squirrel bailed out landing beside Roxy. She nipped his tail and he went up another tree, bailed out of it and sprinted to the hole in the video. A pile of vines and limbs saved his life as Roxy got hung up and still almost caught him before he made it to his den. Great experience for a young dog and made my day. I was so excited about her I didn't shoot like I should have and missed the squirrel. Zack

More Phillips Family Photos

Of Zeke and Siggie and their pups, who are now all grown up!  Zeke sure looks like his father Spud!!

 Here is Regina's email--

More Hunting Pictures! We still didn't see any squirrels. These are Zeke and Siggie's pups. The Black and White one is Tate (short for Spud's Little Tater Tot,lol) The white bigger one with red coller is Murphy,and the other white one is Cruz. As you can see they are very loved and very spoiled! Colton is sitting on the log with Tate taking a break and Caiden is sitting alone taking a break. A BIG wild sow with piglets got about ten ft from Tate and Murphy! Clif shot and they ran thank goodness! Don't want that momma getting hold of my dogs. We love our Mountain Feist!  Regina

Stuffed Squirrel

These are preserved but sure look alive.

Zeke and Siggie

 The Phillips family shared photos of Zeke--out of Spud and Lia and Siggie.  Zeke is a looker and I love the stamp on the truck window.   Sure is nice to see these two Galla Feist again!  Below, Clif Phillips and Zeke.

Rowdy

Rowdy is out of Tie and  Chaney.  Chaney is out of Opal and Shooter.  Tie is from Dobs and Shooter.

Be Still And Quiet

Better hide right here.

Tomorrow

Hope to do a little hunting tomorrow.
