I'm going to lay him up for a week or so, till it heels a little better. Then I will start with the tuff-foot. Its bad. I seen torn up tail before and this one is bad. I didnt look at it real good till today and the bone is just about showing. I've been running him quite abit more this year. This males tail goes a thousand miles an hr.,and it dont help matters that all we usually hunt is briars. After a hunt his sides are usually blood from his tail coming around to his side. Today the blood was freezing on his sides.
