You left a few good ones out like: Carl Carroll, Ed Bates, Russ Meyers just to name a few. If these two where on here I'd choose Mr. Carroll because hes done alot for the english breed.

I listed what a worldwide team of coonhunting historians came up with to be the top ten. Russ Meyers name never was brought up in hours of debating...

However Carl Carrols name was mentioned, maybe we need a honorable mentioned list?


Posted by mike higginboth on 04-11-2006 11:59 PM:

what do you mean most popular? fun to draw, pleasure hunt with, etc.....


Posted by Mike Howard on 04-12-2006 12:32 AM:

Mike,

I am talking about all around most popular---when you think of one man that would symbolize the sport.

My commitee is working on a honorable mentioned list right now.....

Posted by warn on 04-12-2006 01:13 AM:

a good arguement could be made for most of the names on that list. I would say the most popular to each person depends on the breed they favor. All are definetly deserving of acknowledgement.

This is so true. I wish my dad enjoyed coonhunting more than anything but he doesn't and I don't have any kids, so I am gonna include a good buddy to this list.

Mike,

when you say most popular World Wide, I don't see how you can leave Dale Brandenburger off of your list. Dale has probably sold more dogs in Japan alone than some of these guys have sold in their own State.

There are other names that come to mind also, like:::::::::

Mr. Hershberger

Herb Carsten who started Finley River Chief on his road to fame.

The Von Plotts

Elbert Vaughn

And how can anyone forget about Mr. O. L. Beckman

There were some more awfully popular guy's in the past, that were Breeders & backers of Redbones, Black & Tans, & English also.

My vote would be between James Merchant & Dale Brandenburger.

I'm not sure how you define popular, but as someone who has been in this sport less than ten years, one of the first names I heard about was John Wick.
