Notes on Literature, Nature, Working Dogs, History, Other Obsessions and Sundry Annoyances by Henry Chappell. Friday, June 15, 2007. Please, somebody talk me out of it. Here's what I want:. She'd learn to pull rough stock herding duty if she had the opportunity. I have always admired generalists, even though nowadays, the glory seems to go to the specialists - or at least. My last three dogs, including Maggie, my current hunting partner, have been German shorthaired. Pointers. I chose GSPs. But of course...

Notes on Literature, Nature, Working Dogs, History, Other Obsessions and Sundry Annoyances by Henry Chappell. Thursday, December 15, 2011. Of course I had to comment on the H-A-I-R. Cade just shrugged and said that's the way he and his skater buddies wear it out in Southern California. I said he looked awfully 1974. He mumbled something about cavemen and barbers. Cade and Cate in camp. Yes, the names cause all kinds of confusion. He nodded and said, "It's time, then.". May I suggest a bolt-action? We hun...

Notes on Literature, Nature, Working Dogs, History, Other Obsessions and Sundry Annoyances by Henry Chappell. Tuesday, December 4, 2007. Panhandle Hunting Trip Report - Finally. Way back in mid-November, the hoped-for cold front never came. The first afternoon, Brad and I cast Jack and Maggie up a brushy draw in the breaks south of the Pease. And the thickest crop of ragweed I've ever seen. The Rolling Plains made excellent use of the spring and summer rains. Next morning, we woke to fog and cooler tempe...

Notes on Literature, Nature, Working Dogs, History, Other Obsessions and Sundry Annoyances by Henry Chappell. Monday, December 5, 2011. Timber over the entrance to Donny Lynch's East Texas Hunting camp. Treeing dogs are another matter. A few years ago, I realized that I simply wanted to hunt with dogs, and that I needed to adjust to changing realities. Still, this season started off hot, dry, buggy, and slow - an extension of the summer that wouldn't end. What happened to the lake? But there were plenty ...

Notes on Literature, Nature, Working Dogs, History, Other Obsessions and Sundry Annoyances by Henry Chappell. Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Some Truly Painful Research. I'm working on another ranch book with the Wild Man of Benjamin, Texas. I spent several days last week at the Wagonhound Ranch. In southeastern Wyoming, near Douglas. Tough going, let me tell you. Here's a little iPhone video from early Wednesday morning, complete with a shot of Your Humble Scribe's boots at the end. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Notes on Literature, Nature, Working Dogs, History, Other Obsessions and Sundry Annoyances by Henry Chappell. Sunday, January 1, 2012. This past Friday, December 30, my father would have been 91. I had a challenging piece of work planned, but at sunrise, halfway through my second cup of coffee, I knew I'd be going to the woods. In Northeast Texas, where Blackland Prairie gives way to the Red River breaks, steep-banked creeks cut fine, broad hardwood bottoms. Late afternoon, things picked up a bit. Just a...
