I knew Clell Lee, in the Alpine Arizona area. He lived by Hannigan Meadow. His dogs were very valuable and sought after. A day after Clell Lee passed away I saw a lion cross highway 666 right at Clell’s mailbox!

The name of the river is the Tensas. It is pronounced TENSAW and is located in Louisiana.

46:36 is why Tri Tronics is based in Tucson Arizona. Before Garmin owned them we could go there and get collars for nothing, hand them a broken remote or collar, they would just hand you another one. Best company ever.

@@michaelshooterbailey9846 Actually there are a ton of houndsmen left. Probably more dog hunters out there now than ever before. Not saying that most of them really know what they are doing but if they own hounds and hunt them you have to refer to them as hunters. As for guys that have the woodsmanship and knowledge of hunting/breeding dogs, yes there sure ain’t many out there left that totally know what they are doing. Technology has just changed everything now days for training dogs and how we hunt animals with our hounds. It has taken a lot of the woodsmanship out of the equation and the way we can access different blocks of woods makes it easier whereas they use to literally camp out and hunt each animal for days on end. For sure a tougher breed of person than I am!

That’s some great hunting stories Brett👍🏻

They are around still. I shared an apartment with a guy who shot a duck in January that fell on the other side of a river. The duck snagged on a log on the far bank. He went downstream about 50 yds, built a big fire, stripped off his clothes, ran upstream about 100yds, dove in and swam across, got the duck, stuffed it in his underwear, and swam back across, landing pretty close to his fire. Dude had thought the whole thing out. That is, until I asked him, "what if you had cramped up and the headlines read "college student found drowned with duck in his underwear""? He said "I didn't consider that"

Milo Hansen is from the Canadian Province of Saskatchewan. He shot the current world record typical whitetail buck as listed by Boone & Crockett. I'm in Alberta next door to Saskatchewan and there's been plenty of stories and gossip about that Hansen buck. Did you know that they keep a piece of tape near the base of one antler? The grape vine once said that old Milo and a buddy were doing a little midnight recon during the hunting season and brought a beverage or ten for the night. It was said Milo shot a buck in the truck headlights and it went down but still moved a bit. So he aimed for a head shot not seeing the big rack but his buddy was yelling not to shoot the head! Too late. Milo's bullet grazed an antler near the base and took out some of the antler material. Luckily he didn't blow the antler off! Because anyone that kills a world record deer will make a million dollars easily off of it and usually a lot more.

There is another great houndsman, Bill Green

May I help you ? Sir Jim Corbett was a britisch employee growned up in Northern India nearby the Nepal border in British India. There is a NP there, named by him. He where yery familiar in all of djungle creatures and owned highly respect and friendship to local residents. He shot a lot of man eating tigers and leopards too and wrote books about. As such a tigress, what claimed registrated (may be much more unregistrateds ???) 436 (fourhundredthirtysix !) human beeings. The poor residents where very thankful for elimination this horrible terror .As an succesful storyteller he gave all the fee of his books to war-blinded soldiers. And Last, but not least: I think, it's not right to praise people as ,,Greatest hunter of ALL TIME ". Hunt is different, of course, and everybody of us worldwide hunters is hunting for his own reason and success. A lot of urban pizzaeaters and veggies made front against us. Good luck, good shots and Weidmannsheil from Germany.
