They never live long enough do they. Sounds like a good one 

@Brandon Mitchell they sure don’t. And man is he missed 

This was one for the books. Ring was 11 at the time. He rigged early in morning and when he crossed the road with it this was not the bear we packed on. After hours of trying to locate the dogs with the old telemetry equipment we found the dogs two mountain ranges over.  We started in to them a after 2pm, but they moved. Once we realized they were bayed and not treed e we split up to try and get closer. Just before dark we were able to get into them and what a surprise we found. This is the biggest bear to date that I’ve been a part of in the areas I hunt. Ring tan and treed several more bear over the next year. At 13 he was on his last and lived until 15.  What a blessing it was to own and follow a hound of his caliber.
