1997

I had always been a serious bird hunter. The first time I ever went it was worse that smoking crack for me. Within 2 weeks I had bought a 4 wheeler and a dog.

Started in 1972 I guess it was. I think I was still in college when I first went with some guys in TN. I knew the first time I heard the dogs fighting a hog that I had found what I was looking for. I had coon hunted for several years before I went hog hunting with dogs, I loved coon hunting but I always knew there was something I would like even more....and I found it. Nothing like it I say.

As soon as I was able to sit up in a saddle my dad started taking me.  I'm 27 now....you do the math.  Wish I could still hunt that way, but my places are to small to justify horses.

Have been going since i was a kid with Rooster Bennett but broke down after i was a hunting guide in Cody, WY and got my own dogs going.  So my own pack and catching them shortly after that i would say Winter of 2001.  I did take a year in 09 offbut kept all my dogs due to an issue with the local game warden.  Never slowed me down, I'm back at it full time and now contracting more land than before.   :laugh:
