When I first moved to south Alabama I lived just outside of Loachapoka...which is actually just right outside of Auburn. Back then I use to get out and ride the dirt roads all the time and I'd occasionally stop and talk to folks about hunting land. One day I'm driving down this dirt road not too far from the house and I see this guy out in his yard piddling around. I pulled in a started hee-hawing with him about hunting and this and that. We walked into his cabin and he started showing me all these deer he had killed over the years...some really nice ones....one giant 8 pt. Anyways, after about 15-20 minutes he asks me "You ever seen Outdoors with TK and Mike?" I say "Yeah man I love those vidoes."......He replies "Well, this is where the first video was filmed." He could tell I was giving him that look of getting ready to call bullchit when he says "Remember the brown truck? There it still sits. There's the oak tree where we filmed the grunt call scene. That little field down there is where we filmed the black powder hunt....and so on and so on. I was like "Holy chit, it really is where TK and Mike was filmed!" I thought that was the coolest thing. I had been watching those videos since I was a kid and just to randomly pull up in that driveway and see all that stuff from the original video was neat. The guy that lived there was actually in the video as well. He was the one showing them how to rattle with the big arse set of rattling horns. He still had those just laying in a pile of antlers on his back porch. I think his name was Hal if I remember correctly.

I would have never believed someone either without seeing the proof. We use to watch those videos in our Agriculture class in high school, I think I've seen about everyone of them. It's hard to find good clean comedy like that now. By the way, what is your cell number, just in case I need some help this year?

By the way, what is your cell number, just in case I need some help this year? (334-421-1811).....My name is Harold. If I'm out on another track I'll have my phone put up so leave me a message or send me a text and I'll call you back. This is me and my Slovensky Kopov....Otis. Got a "Sadie" coming in the spring.

I thought this was a cool pic of Otis. Not too many folks are familiar with this breed.....Slovensky Kopov. I'd never even heard of it before getting into tracking. He's a got a funny stature but its actually very suited to his task. His little arse is fast and athletic for a small dog.

Face of a rottweiler, body of a wiener dog. He's pretty and I'm ready to see some pictures of him with a few deer!

Beautiful Dog just looked the breed up.
The Slovenský kopov (translated into English as Slovakian Hound) is a medium-sized breed of hunting dog of the scenthound type. The breed originated in Slovakia, in Central Europe, and is bred for boar hunting. The name Black Forest Hound seems to have been created in North America for marketing purposes, since the breed has no connection with the Black Forest.
Hog Dog!!!
He looks like a cross between a Dachshund and a Beagle.
One of these days I'm going to get a Wired-haired Dachshund excellent for tracking.

I figure with this front coming in their ought to be some blood hitting the ground Sat and Sun. I was thinking about driving to the hunting club and trying it myself. That would guarantee that someone would call.

Thanks!....Yep his breed was originally used as a hog dog in Eastern Europe. They're not really that well known in the US because the Slovs were apparently very, very picky about exporting any. I think they wanted to have complete control over manipulating the breed to be what they wanted it to be. Over there they are strictly working dogs. From the videos I've seen they still do it old school style where folks are blowing horns and chit before they head out on a hunt. Something like what you would think of with a fancy fox hunt. Folks have started using them in more recent times for trackers. They use them up in Canada to track bear and moose. He's a super smart dog and acts exactly like what you read when you see the descriptions of them on the net. Here's one more pic of Otis. You can really see the Ol' hound dog in him when you look at him straight in the face. He's fifty pounds on the dot which is about the breed standard. I'd like get a couple pounds off of him for tracking. Both of Otis's parents were imported from Slovakia.

I think you should do this before every track job...just to let the people know you are a little crazy and take this very seriously. Beautiful pup by the way! Excited to hear about the first track job of the year and following Otis through the season.
Ya'll are just overthinking it now

Excited to hear about the first track job of the year and following Otis through the season. Ha! Yeah that would be awesome!......I need some kind of big arse rams horn or something. I'd probably have the folks I was tracking for so nervous that they wouldn't go out into the woods in the dark with me.

See, all that waiver of liability mumbo-jumbo could have been avoided all along. It'd be just you and Otis out there doing work.

I’ll just wait until right before we get ready to track then pull the sheep horn out on ’em…….scream like a banshee.....and then cut Otis loose. The look on their faces would be classic!

With the south zone finally getting ready to kick off this weekend I thought I would throw something out there for anyone who is interested. This only being Otis’s second tracking year, I still need to get him on some easy finds as well as the true lost ones. He’s ready to start working those harder tracks this year but I really need to put him on 2 or 3 easy ones here up front. If anyone around me is interested, I will make you a deal. If you shoot a deer over the next week or two that you know you’ve smoked or seen crash 100 yards away…..if you’ll allow me to bring Otis out and put him on that track then I’ll come back later on and track your next true lost deer for free with no finder's fee. This is for anyone within say 50 miles of Macon Co…..I need 3 good tracks of 100-200 yards or so where you know the deer is there dead at the end. Thanks fellas. Good luck this weekend.
