Randy's Rose female treed a coon five minutes after the hunt time,they just don't make COONHUNTERS like them anymore! I have a lot of great memories of them! I never hunted with OL Timber but I heard he was a COONDOG. JesseJ
You have a great memory!!!
Randy was a mess!! When he was young, he had a bad temper!! LOL. His Rose female was a pretty nice little hound.
Those were the good days for sure. Our monthly club hunt would hunt 30 dogs. Our UKC hunt would hunt 75-80 dogs.
Harry Lister, Jimmy Baker, Gene, Sid Underwood, Houston Love to just name a few. Harry was my favorite.
Timber was a coondog. Dad bought him from Tommy when he was a year old pup, for $100 after he ran a deer one night.
I have his 7 generation pedigree framed and on my wall. GrNt and Texas State Champion when they hunted 400 - 500 dogs. Dad sold him when he was 5 years old for $2,500 in 1977 to a man in Alabama just to be pleasure hunted. Timber lived to be nearly 14.
