Sorry to hear of Sluggers passing. I had the good fortune of drawing Slugge on two different occassions in the AKC finals with Mark Jones handling him.

I can tell all, that Slugger and Mark were a great combination and brought honor to the sport of coonhunting. Slugger was a great hound and always gave 100%. It's so very hard to let the good ones go, but we all must accept that at some point and time.

May God continue to bless you and your hounds!!
