Yes I was pretty lucky to have such an outdoorsman to hang out with. That Walker and Blue Tick yielded a litter of 9 puppies that ended up being shipped all over the country, some as far as BC to run cougars.

Almost every raccoon we harvested was shot with an old Cooey .22 that my Dad still owns.

He is now 78 years old, still a few years left in him. I’ll always remember him as the hunter in the Paul Calle print they bought when we were hunting a lot. It still hangs in his office.
