Cove Mountain Kennels

One of the biggest misconceptions about hound hunting is that everything that is treed is killed. This is simply not true. This season has wrapped up nicely and was a stellar season. 18 lions were caught. Only one of those lions was harvested. Here is a not-so-nice lion caught this season that is still roaming the hills slaying deer. Good hunting my friend…I hope to see you next year!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That moment when the trailing barks turn to a hard chop or a long bawl….and it’s time to walk to a tree and see what the hounds put up!

Here is a picture of Drama resting on Spike’s back after a long day of hiking and hunting for lion tracks. None were found, but it was a great day on the mountain.

Our Sissy/Django litter is doing well. We have a male left and a couple females. They will be ready for homes on the weekend of January 21, 2017. Ready below for details on litter. We also have a couple males left from our Stella/Django litter that will be ready two weeks after Sissy’s pups. Call or text for info. Nick 314-954-5424 (pictured are Sissy pups)

We have some beautiful pups from our Django/Sissy litter available. They were born December 3 and just had their tails docked and dew claws removed. We are taking deposits now. Call or text Nick at 314-954-5424 for more info or to send a deposit.

Karamojo’s Django Unleashed – Django was very trainable, has a lot of point and has been a pleasure to train and hunt. One of his biggest strengths is his ability to “turn it off” when not in the field. He is super chilled out off the field and all business when he is finding birds. Django is a son of FC Light ‘em Up Luke we purchased out of Colorado and couldn’t be more impressed. His pedigree is stacked with FC and DC.

Ortega’s Sissy Knows Birds: Sissy has an incredible bird drive and natural hard point. She gets it done in the field and loves people and attention off the field. She is a very natural hunter and her puppies start young and have her intense bird drive. Sissy has some of that tried and true Nolan’s Last Bullet blood and we have never gone wrong with those genetics.

Both dogs are natural retrievers, very trainable and excellent companion dogs. They should start very early. We would like to see these go to hunting or competition homes, but will consider a home with an active lifestyles.

These pups will be excellent hunters and companion dogs. They will be ready for homes 7-8 weeks from birth (January 20-27, 2016). We are located near Pocatello, ID.

Please call or text number above. We recently dealt with an email hacker and want to make sure we are doing business with a legitimate client.

This top text is from a client who bought a Sissy puppy from us last spring. His dog, Snoop, a Brittany, has been doing great in the field.

The bottom text I got today from our vet, Dr. Steve Haymore from Alpine Animal Hospital in Pocatello. He does our adult dog work and puppy work as well. We choose to have veterinarians take care of our pup’s health needs such as removing dew claws and docking tails. We feel this is the safest option and that our pups are in good hands. The text tells a bit about how we care for our puppies before they go to clients.

We have a litter on the way. Call Nick at 314-954-5424 (or text) if you want to talk Brittany gun dogs. (If you call, follow up with a quick text…Ill be in spotty reception on a hunting trip for a week or so.)

Someone backed out and she is for sale. She is a Kenya/Django pup (see details on parents below). She is available for pick up the day before Thanksgiving and the following week. My wife will be home this entire time, but I will be out of country. I will get texts periodically but will be hunting so reception will be in and out. My cell is 314-954-5424. My wife, Julie, cell is 208-251-9199. She can set up pick up if you would like the pup. Kenya puppies are very proven and exceptional hunters. If specific questions cone up on dogs Julie can’t answer, text me (Nick) and I will get back with you from a hunting trip to the South Pacific.

$900 total – $200 deposit holds pick. If she is still available during pickup window Nov 23-30) entire price can be paid on pick up if done promptly. AKC unlimited registration on pup.

I drew a decent Utah muzzleloader tag this year. I carried a Thompson Center .50 cal that I bought specifically for the trip because the tag took me 8 years to draw. Idaho does not allow a closed ignition system or 209 primers. Utah does. I got the rifle shooting pretty well and was glad i made the purchase. It was a torrential downpour for 85% of the hunt and somehow my powder stayed dry and the gun went “boom” when I needed it to. I looked at over 150 deer and at least 15 4x4s before taking this deer. General season in Idaho is not quite like that…at least for me.
