This dog was one of those crosses we made whose grandsire was Red Bomber on both sides. Sam is under a bear tree in this image and was sold a guide down south. He was five when I turned him loose and would rig a lion out of the box, and was worth double what I took for him but the guy seemed like a nice guy and needed a hound that would finish a lion track and take his dogs to the tree. That guide crossed Sam and was certainly proud of him last time we spoke............
Don't believe I know those guys but I stay to myself anymore and out of the group hunting circles. I'm glad to hear you have some dogs out here doing well on big game, cause they are sure some good looking dogs. There was a time I'd like to have had a papered female redbone, and maybe would have gone that way. But time passes and I crossed my redbone into my English dogs and there won't be any going back for me.
I did pick up a papered redbone from a guy name Don Hicks down in Shawnee, Oklahoma ten years or so back but a buddy kept that dog. We crossed her to my Ike dog and I guess that I should have kept that female myself. She was a half sister to my redbone, as the sire of both those dogs was Hoffmeister's Red Bomber. I've always liked the red dogs and have several tied up in my yard today............
