Most Famous

1. Finley River Chief
2. Johnson's Banjo

We can't leave out Uncle Versies black and tan "High Bawl". He was surely the most famous of all time until the freight train ran over him fighting a coon.

When it comes to Walkers, how could anybody forget the importance of Hershberger's Okla. Spot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think of all the famous dogs already mentioned ,then look back for common ancestors they all have. The one You'll find most is Okla. Spot.

DIAMOND JIM !!!

he might have'nt been the greatest reproducer, but he was a true winner.ray johnson of elyria, ohio bought and gave dolan swenney $1700.00 for jim when he was just a young dog. hunted with him numorous of times and he really was'nt a pleasure hound, but he was fun to hunt. ray started to campain him, he made a grand nite champion very quick. the last year ray owned him he entered jim in 28 cast if i remember right and he won 27, the other that he did'nt win, ray withdrew him. he went on winning the a.c.h.a. grand american, the a.c.h.a. little world championship and the a.c.h.a. world championship in the same year, which was 1974. those three hunts were big hunts. buddy gilbert gave ray $8000.00 for jim after he won the little world hunt, ray continued to handle jim in the world hunt and won that as well. to me the world class coondogs were diamond jim, gann's finisher, bean blossom buck, carolina casey, rob's danny boy, vance's crowding billy, deep river mike, stan's sailor boy and sailor jr.. i have a american cooner dated 11/1974 that has diamond jim, gann's finisher, bean blossom buck, carolina casey, rob's danny boy and crowding billy on the front cover. those were some of the best lookin coondogs i ever seen. next to bawlie, i think diamond jim is the most famous, his win record would show it.

my buddy had a pup out of casey i believe, it was a female and he named her casey. he said she was good but i never hunted with her, she was as good a looking walker i ever saw. i think this was in the 70s.

Had to be in the 70's and probably good looking too.

reason i said 70s cause i was in junior high iam pretty sure. she was good looking dog cause i still remember what she looked like.

I can't even remember what my seventh grade giirlfrind looked like. Can you? Funny how them dogs can stick with you while other things fade away.

lol thats funny, i would rather remember my old dogs than my ole gal friends, my dogs looked better lol.

...........

..........Finley River Chief...............Northern Blue Hammer.............Hunters Timber Chopper...........

DIAMOND JIM !!!

jim should be remembered in the south. jim produced a few good hounds, ray had a female out of him that was second place a.c.h.a. world ckampion in 1979, her name was queenie. diamond jim's slingshot was out of him and i believe that bellar's deamon (moffitt's w.c. deamon) was out of jim. deamon won the first pca (pkc) world hunt. i'm sure they're alot more that was good ones.

New Hunter View Point

I live in and grew up in rural KY... Come from a hunting family..... Left for the military and moved back home after retirement.... My dad was a coon hunter along with Royal Goodaker..... They collectively produced "Pun Jab" .... My son (13) and 3 of his friends have now got the bug after a local hunter gave them a pup..... I now have the bug..... Now for the point of all this.... I don't think anyone currently owns a dog that's as great as hounds of days gone by...... The important thing is to fully appreciate every hunt both good and bad with your friends and competitors.... appreciate every hound for what he is and isn't and futher the sport through instilling good sportsmanship and morals in our youths........ I currenlty have a puppy on the way that has the blood of my fathers dog in it and I can't wait to see my father and son under the tree of his first coon......."If he makes you happy he is great"

Famous............the one more people new about...........not counting the movie stars..........I would say the older guys would have to answer that question becouse in there days there were a lot more coon hunters. Numbers alone would have the older blooded known by more people.
So the most famous hound or the one known by the most people at one time is dead and gone. Most of us probubly have never even heard of it. LOL

What do you think a couple of straws of semen off of those would bring today? What stud would put you as close as you can get to it today?

If you like him or not Trackman is very much a attraction where ever he goes. Went with Curt and trackman a couple years back to the winter classic and people packed the alley all day to get a look at the dog and the same way last week in orangeburg. Kids and adults getting thier picture taken with him. One after another talking about the dogs they have out of him. I met a ton of people from all over and have had lots of good times because of this old dog. All i can tell you is get a piece of him while he is still here. He is currently the #1 reproducer in the breed thanks to the hunters hauling his pups to town.............
