That's a very good question and I look forward to the responses if any. First off I have to know somebody to have very much respect for them, that means having put dogs down a track with them and watched their ethics in the field. Hearsay is cheap! They say the proof is in the eating of the pudding so let's see the puddin!

Bruce Cairns from NH 70 some odd years old and still getting it done one of the most honest men Ive ever met and a dog man for sure I get to hunt with Bruce a few times a year . I take what he says to heart he has a alot off knowledge he has treed a ton of bear and Bobcats not to maney like him around anymore. never herd a bad word about Bruce from anyone that knows him and never herd him speak bad about any other hunter. hope when i get his age if i make it LOL Im still running dogs. Much respect Bruce . John

Bruce Cairns
i just meet this man and it was a great plaesure to meet him and get the time to talk with him and listen to stories that go way back.... great guy..

Mike Lord
has shown me many things about hunting. took me under his wing i learned many things from him in the past few years bringing me up to speed with hound hunting very fast. by hunting with Mike i was able to learn things faster and also to listen to the dogs tell you what is going on in the woods. with his help i have made some nice hounds and one of the best i will probly ever own! So alot of mistakes in handling and training hounds he stopped me from making. by this it has made hunting hounds a great experiance.

Mike lord

Hunted with mike alot when i was switching my hounds from coon to bear we had a lot of fun treed alot of bears I Havnt hunted with Mike for a while but Id say when i hunted with him he hunted more than anyone in the state of NH. I learned a lot from mike one thing about mike is that if you wanted to go bear hunting show up early and dont be late or youll be left in the yard LOL he has helped alot of young hunters get started for sure . also spent some long nights in the Garage LOL the first and only bear Ive taken for myself was with Mike Lord struck the bear of Bear notch road in Bartlett NH walked about 2 hours to the tree with a warden in tow we got a a couple miles in and I remember Mike looking at the warden and saying Jokenly you know after 2 miles in the woods you have no more jurisdiction LOL the warden was a young guy real new to the Job and looked at mike Like he had 3 heads it was a Riot. .
