I know most of you who are into redbones probably known my grandfather Bill Brubaker. For awhile I have been searching to know what happened to his dogs and his belongs. Not entirely sure what my grandmother told me was true but we weren't allowed on the property to retrieve his belongs or his truck that was on the property. That was about 2 years ago.

I just looking to get back mostly family photos that my grandfather had and he had a military year book from when he was in army as a paratrooper.

I been worried about his dogs. I know I didn't come to many shows as I got older, his partner started high school and got into college. I hope after college I can go coonhunting with one his dogs that were from his breed line.

And if you couldn't guess. It's Brittany Brubaker. His granddaughter.

I knew Bill Brubaker from several years ago. He had some really nice redbones - I think I have pictures of a few of them. He was always at the Jackson club events when we used to attend.

He did, but then moved to Benten in his later years. Leon Robbins might have some answers for you too, but I don't have his number either. I talked to Jim Petro last evening and he couldn't help much, lots of rumors, but whether their true or not, he doesn't know.

Brittany, call me anytime you need to talk, I have a lot of good stories I can tell you about him.

I been email tons of people about the dogs and the SPCA about them. Just want make sure there okay and if anyone of his friends or fellow hunters have his dogs I appreciate them being taken in by them.

It's sad that it took me two years of looking to get answers that I'm slowly getting. I just pray that family photos weren't destroyed. I only have a few pictures of him.
