Mr. Hahn,
I apoligize that the dvd's you purchased were not up to you expectations. They are advertised on my website as a video stud dog directory and a piece of recorded history for years to come. As I stated in the beginning of Vol. I, if you see somthing you like, be it pedigree, tree style, mouth ect. give the owners a call for more information.
I am not a professional movie producer, Im a show horse trainer by trade who was raised up coonhunting and to this day at 43 years old, still loves the sport. I do most all the filming in the off season for showing horses which is luckily in the fall and winter.
I travel appox. 10,000 miles and spend several weeks away from my family to put this together. Lots of motel rooms, fast food and fuel. Yes I am on a somewhat tight scheldule when Im on the road, and due to the available time on each video, I choose to use that time to showcase more coonhounds rather that showing a blank screen with viewers struggeling to hear a dog that may be 1/2 to 1 1/2 miles thru the country trailing. I do wish that there was a way to get that kind of footage for every dog on the video but it just cant happen with the time frame I am delt to deal with. I myself am very fortunate to live in an area with a good coon population as is Mr. Haugh, where he can take his time, his spots (meaning he can dump a cage coon across a 5 acre cornfield into a 2 acre patch of timber and then cut 2-3 dogs loose hear the race and even show you a coon...not saying he does this, just an exapmle) and even his footage to show to you, if his dogs ever have a bad night, does he post that video also? The dogs on my videos 1 night to make the impression that they will leave you with. Mr. Haugh, I would love to see your hounds turned loose in the mountains of South Carolina where Stylish Hammer had to go over a mile and over 2 big mountains to get treed, but more than that I would love to see you running along behind them trying to get the audio of their track mouth. WOULDNT HAPPEN...or cut loose in the hills and swamps of Tennessee where I watched Hellbilly work a big hillside of timber, on Barry's Garmin, then skip across a huge cut bean field to a flooded river bottom, 7/10 of a mile before he was struck and in 7 minutes...9/10ths of a mile and 2 minutes later...treed with 2 lookin down. In those 9 minutes I could have had the camera on and you would have seen him for about 3 seconds, then when he got struck and treed, you would have never heard the audio, so I choose to use that 9 minutes to showcase 2 more stud dogs. On Vol.III, I was able to get the locate of a couple of hounds, one is the Tuff Man hound of Randy Maggards, he was down a big mountain along a creek and was probally a quarter away, but with the terrain, it was tough to pick up. As for being close to the dogs, I try to set up appox. 12-15 feet from all dogs when filming to try show the the volume for each dog. It wouldnt be fair to be 15 feet from 1 dog and 30 yards for another, pitch and volume were my goals to show in the footage.
I do hope that Ive not offended anyone in this posting, that was not my intentions.
Mr. Haugh, I have never met you, only talked to you once on the phone. You seemed like a nice man and a gentleman in the short time that we spoke, so Im going to try and do the same. If you would like to sell, give away, whatever...your dvds, would you please start a topic of your own and offer them, rather that piggyback on a topic about my product, running it and the hounds on it down. I dont appreciate it one bit. I have seen your videos and choose not to comment on them. I dont go to the topics about your videos and run them down, all Im asking for is you to do the same. I ran a search on this site and in over half the topics about my videos, you came on board and commented about how your videos were so much better. How about letting the viewers decide. I know that this is a public board and your free to post as you like and if you continue to do as you are, well theres nothing that I can do, therefore this is all that Im going to comment on this post. Im not going to get into a spitting contest with anyone about this, lifes too short and Ive got a life. Nuff Said....I'm DONE.
