Is there anyone still around that was at the first American Redbone Hunt? The Redbook says that Jack Brown won the first hunt with Jim Dandy? The Redbook says that Dorman Clouse was the President from 1963-1969. This is exciting. I remember when I went to my first American Redbone Days in Alabama back in 1999.
Richard,
Burnis Gardner was at the first hunt. At the first hunt they hunted only grade dogs on friday night and only registered dogs on saturday night. Some of the guys hunted their registered dogs on friday night as grade dogs. Burnis won the grade hunt on friday night with NiteCh Gardners Red Andy. The overall winner of the hunt had to be a registered dog from saturday night.
I talked to Burnis a couple weeks ago.
