I was sad to hear the news that Paul Lewis passed away.
Here is some info.:


Looking through my pictures, I found the one below of Paul and Bullcreek Badnews Kate from 2002. She had just won Queen of Hunt at Schell City Mo. She had 2 cast wins, one with over 1400+. They made a top pair and I still say Paul Lewis is perhaps the best dog man, coonhunter, and handler I've seen in the B&T breed.

One of the greatest dog men I have ever known. would put his own wants and disires aside to help some one else about anytime he was called upon.

Just a reminder to all it is just short hop from your house to the Doc. to do some blood work if not once but twice a year. Not preaching but a fact. It just might save you from some pitfalls.

PS: Happy Hunting up there in those Duck ponds PAUL.

Sorry to hear this too. I drew Paul a lot in the hunts and we banged heads a few times over scoring. But he was fair and we always shook hands at the end.

I also agree that Paul was one of the best dog handlers I've ever seen. If the B&T breed had more like Paul, we'd win the World Hunt.

He was always pack'in a hound that could win. This is a major loss to the B&T breed.

Rest in peace my friend.

Sorry to hear that. Paul was a top man in the B&T breed and owned more than one good hound. He knew what a good hound was and how to win... Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends. RIP Paul.

Got to go up there and attend the service. What a great guy he was. Got to see several people I haven't seen in a long time Darren Mastin, Blaze Bowers, Bill and Kay Nucome. All in All was a long trip for a great guy but a very enjoyable service. So long my friend and Happy hunting up there in them Duck ponds.

For those that didn't know him. Only about a mile from his house the Gov. built some duck ponds an I think that none of them was over 3 ft. deep. You could cross them with your waders. Great Hunting.
