a long,long scarey night in the mines

Post by danny vansickle »

went runnin last night in belleville mines,wasnt many people out there so i spread out my dogs,had bandit and jessie braced off in a frOnt hollow that opens up to a old dirt road,brady creek,i was talkin to a couple buddies,dan gee and bobby queen,couldn't hear bandit and jessie,so i went to check on them,they where down at the end of the hollow runnin,near the road,it is 11:30 ish,figured they where ok,they crossed the road and went up on the other hillside,i had heard coyotes on that side of the road before so i start yelling for them to get them in,jessie was the only one with an e collar,bandit had a tracker,both had bright eye lighted colors on,bandit white,jessie red.

the broke down,i startd toning jessie and yelling mean at bandit to get him in,i see their collars comin down the hill,i am across the valley on the other hill and the road goes between the hills,well,i hear a vehicle poppin gravel,movin real slow down on the road,bandit and jessie are headin right for where i hear it,but i could not see it it was in the bottom of the hollow,i jump in my truck and drive down to the road,a gate is up so i cant get through,when i get tot he gate,i can see the truck,it takes off and i see a white light in the back of it,in the bed with no box,THEY GOT MY DOGS!!!!!!!!!

I SCREAM AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS AS I WATCH THE TAILIGHTS DISSAPEAR IN THE NIGHT,AND BANDITS WHITE LIGHT MOVIN AROUND IN THE BED,I JUMP IN MY TRUCK,FLY UP THE HILL,RUNNIN 50 TO 60 MPH THROUGH THE ROUGH MINES,I STOP AND ASK DAN AND BOBBY TO GO BACK AND YELL FOR THEM THEN I GRABBED MY TRASHBREAKER CONTROLLER,CRANK IT UP AND LIGHT UP JESSIE,I GET OUT TO OH93,TURN RIGHT AND GO TO THE HEAD OF BRADY CREEK ROAD AND START TOWARDS WHERE THEY WHERE PICKED UP,THEN I SEE JESSIES RED LIGHT COMIN UP THE ROAD AT ME,HE IS LIMPIN A LIL,I LOAD HIM UP AND REALIZE I AM STILL A MILE AND HALF OR SO FROM WHERE THEY WHERE STOLEN,STILL,NO BANDIT,I YELL AND YELL AND YELL,GET MY OLD WILDLIFE TRACKER OUT,NOTHING,I GO UP TO WHERE THEY WHERE STOLEN,BOBBY AND DAN ARE ON TOP OF THE HILL YELLIN,NOTHING,I GO BACK DOWN BRADY CREEK STOPPIN A FEW 100 YRDS YELL,YELL,NOTHING,I CALL KEVIN MONROE,HE SAID TO COME GET HIS TRACKER,I DECIDE TO GO UP IN THE MINES AND SEE IF HE COMES INTO THE DOGS,WAIT A FEW HOURS,NOTHING,SO,I GRAB UP ALL MY DOGS,AND HEAD OUT OF THE MINES,IT IS ABOUT 2 AM NOW,GO BACK DOWN BRADY CREEK,SOMETHIN SAID TO STOP AND YELL FOR BANDIT ONE MORE TIME AS I GO DOWN THE ROAD,I STOPPED,ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW AND STICK MY HEAD OUT OF THE TRUCK WINDOW TO YELL...............

I HEAR HIM RUNNIN UP IN THE HILLSIDE :bigsmile: A HUGE WEIGHT JUST LIFTS OFF MY CHEST,I TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND SIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND JUST LISTENED FOR A FEW TO COLLECT MY THOUGHTS ON WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED.WHEN I GOT BANDIT IN,HIS TRACHER WAS GONE,SO,I WOULD SAY THEY TOOK IT OFF AND THREW IT,I AM GONNA GO OUT AND LOOK FOR IT TODAY IN THE DAYLIGHT.

I WILL NEVER,EVER LET MY DOGS OUT OF MY HEARING AGAIN,I WILL STAY ON TOP OF THEM LIKE A HAWK,BANDIT WAS 2 MILES FROM WHERE THEY PICKED HIM UP,PRETTY CLOSE TO A MAIN HIGHWAY,93,ALL I CAN FIGURE IS JESSIE EITHER JUMPED OUT WHEN I SHOCKED HIM OR THE GUY STOPPED AND PUT THEM OUT THINKIN I WAS GONNA CATCH HIM.

I AM JUST GLAD THINGS WORKED OUT.

Glad to hear you got your hounds back, :D popsickle :shock: Nah I'm just razzin you about the popsickle thing :lol:
Anyway, that probably worries me more than about anything when i'm runnin is those daggum dog thieves. I don't know what to make of it.
All I know is even though I'm a good christian fella if somebody swipes one of dogs they better hope the Lord gets'um before I do, I'd say I'd have to do some serious repentin as I would probably be layin hands on'um suddenly. LOL
Drop me a pm with your # so I can get ahold of you and talk hounds, seems you keep up with the trialin scene and I been thinking about runnin a hound i got and seein what she would do in a trial. She sure pounds'em in the field.

Glad you got him back danny that is a real bad feeling been there a couple of time.I almst lost a dog yesterday as well a little different story though i was bracing conway and cloud in the same spot that you won the first round of the run-offs and when it was time to go conway came but no cloud i bumped him and heard him squel but still would not come in so i went to see what was up and he was caught in one of those darn coyote snares. i know that we need to get rid of as many yotes as we can but this is not the way luckly i had my snips with me and cut it from around his neck and he is ok..And that trap is now in the bottom of a nearby pit where they all belong..

WOW I am not sure what I would of done!!! But sure am glad you got your dogs back cause I know the feeling of having a hound stolen. Lost a nixce dog last April at the Hartford Ky Park. She and two of her pups split and when I went to catch them a truck past me but didn't think nothing of it. Got to where I last heard them and found the pups and it was right where the truck came from. It sucks Pepper is gone... She was as nice a female we had or have. But I believe in Carma and it will come back on them....

Glad you got your dogs back, Danny! I always stay with my dogs while running, I also want to see what they are doing when when running. I know a few guys who turn them loose in one spot and then go down the road and turn some more loose. Not me, I have put too much time into them for something to happen to them or to start bad habits.

Glad you got you dogs back.I will loan a person most anything to help them out.But there is little in this life that gets under my skin more than a person stealing something from me.

I have returned numerous hunting dogs over the years that wandered up lost on my farms.Got on the horn and called the owner quick as I know what it is like to have one missing.I checked em for cuts and such and treated em if needed.I've had people do the same for me and my dogs.Most people are decent and do right it's just those scum wads that make life uncomfortable time to time.

I've had zero trouble on the farm I retired to.But I'd still like to have a 15 ac or so pen to run in time to time where I could leave the dogs unattended. Outside of that I stay close to them.I also carry a 9 mm and a couple a 15 round clips for teaching pups and snakes about gunfire.

I had 2 stolen last year and i saw the top of the truck ,with some investigating with a detective friend of mine i located them at a house 4 miles away ,instead of kicking the door in and seizing him by the throat :shock: he said we needed to go house to house down his road with flyers asking if anyone had seen them (we hadnt actually seen the dogs with our eyes at this point but we knew he had them some where } i went up to his door and told him some one had picked up my dogs or they run off but had been reportedly seen in this area he said hed call if he seen them ,that night i got a call that said they were tied up at a church near there , i went and there they were ,luck and persistance ,also he has been paid back for his evil doing but i wont say how :shock: They call me fast eddy
