Only one I used to know that ran Rd bones up there and they were some good hounds was Eddie west. I hunted with him and his brother serval times. Also I think Stan dainels had a good one when I first started hunting up there. Hey give me a call when you want to dogs sometime I miss the mountain accent. Do you have any good red bones for sale? I have a man looking for one. 252.944.3857

I visit that area several times each year, it has to be some of the most beautiful land in the country. I was offered a job in Gatlinburg on the police dept. this past fall, have been regreting not taking every since... Have seen several bear down there over the years, would love to just go out on a hunt. We don't have bear here, just deer,turkey.coon...etc. Big game hunting has to be such a thrill I imagine. I had the chance to go shark fishing once and will never forget. Also got to catch some gators once. You guys are lucky dogs!!!

I hear you! Good dogs are very hard to come by. I tell if I didn't live down here were I have access to so many bear then I don't think I could make the dogs I do in such short amount of time. I know if I had to run those mountains all the time I wouldn't last. I will tell peple down here about you pups although this is plott country.

Take care Justin King
