CWard has said it a time or two and I've heard it from a few old farts including my pawpaw (bless his soul) who grew up in Pineland and ran coons and deer before ww2, "east Texans just bout run smooth out of black bears on account of these cur dogs round here"
Believe it or not if you want, but old men who know better than me have told me that hounds are unbeatable pleasure hunting dogs, "but if you huntin fur, use a cur."
