My dad, brother and I chased a large number of hounds all over these united states for all our lives. I reached a point in my life where there wasent enough time, ( kids , self employed, other hobbies , did I say kids ) my dad was highly involved in our local ( coon club ) for over 35 yrs and did a lot of work for u.kc.. he was constantly trying to figure ways to encourage younger hunters too. my dad stayed after them old dogs right up to when he passed. my brother is still after them hard and heavy. every now and again someone will turn loose on our place , when i can I will set out on the porch or picnic table and listen to the chase and reminisce of days gone by and get a laugh or to from some old times with my dad and brother.I have thought about starting a hound but , oh the time and work involved. I just dont think I have it in me these days. but sure do miss those old times!!!
