NC Franklin use to have a coonhunters club. I was up there in the early 90's for a world qualifing hunt. Competition hunting isn't all bad you can have lots of fun but like everything else there are a few bad apples. I drew a walker hound that night that was a hi-powered hound; but he couldn't handle my old black and tan male. Also Big Al I know a guy that works for Purina competition hunting he hunts blue dogs you may know him Les Rogers?
