Found this photo of my great grampa I've heard stories this dog would tree coon at night, squirrel by day, and it would even run rabbits. They said it was a heck of a dog. Have no idea if they're any truth to that, especially the rabbit thing but I didn't question the people telling me. Thing is I didn't know anybody else in my family hunted much, other than that my grampa had few hounds time to time. My dad doesn't hunt guess it skipped a generation..lol

Yea I'm sure life was simpler back then, not easier, a lot harder work but more simple. He had 9 kids before he died and he died in his late 30's. He cut his leg clearing a thicket with an axe and it set up gangrene and he died young

good picture,that looks like one tough coon hunter.

when was the picture taken?

I'm not sure when but I'm thinking he died in late 1930's or early 40's so I imagine in that time frame..I'm gonna try and find out tho

thats pretty cool. dont see many of those old pictures around!

Great pic. You can bet one thing if an old hound,cur or what ever went hunting and showed you a bunch of M-T trees he didn't stay on the farm long.

Great old photo..It certainly brings back memories for me.
