Though I would always wish hunters that use dogs irresponsibly could be held accountable. I see hunting as vital and important.

I feel like I got hit by a truck today so I'm going to do a lot of sleeping. Sorry your mom got mad at you for chewing on the coffee table. I know how you feel though, sometimes it's just hard to not chew something when it's right next to you. Nannie Thank you Porter.

Porter would like to offer her a word of advice, "don't chew on the coffee table, mom got mad at me for that yesterday." I see hunting as vital and important, and though I don't want to see more government regulation, I wish hunters that use dogs irresponsibly could be held accountable. I will check that book out for sure! Porter wishes Nannie a speedy recovery, and lots of chewable things!

We have an exhibit here at the museum on Plott hounds and hunting and in the course of the past few months I have interviewed countless hunters and they to a man and woman would agree with you. Hunters like that yahoo you described are an object of scorn among most of the real hunters that respect and care very much for their dogs. I know hunters that have spent over $3000 dollars to save a dog that has been injured because they care that much for them. While these dogs are not pets like Porter and Nannie they are well cared for and the dogs really love what they do. I wish there was an easy answer to your question but in the case of caring more for the collar than the dog-- there isn't. You should read my friend (and Nannie's) Bob Plott's wonderful book called "Strike and Stay." I think you can click on his name on the post right above yours. Think good thoughts about Nannie today.

It was dead on the road, and when he called, all the guy wanted to know was where the collar was. I respect hunting (we have a freezer full of deer meat), but it breaks my heart to see hound dogs like Nannie or my Porter suffer like that. How can irresponsible hunters be held accountable?

Like me, you would have rather been outside having fun--not indoors with a bunch of noisy people. That's a lot for a young dog to take, even a mighty Plott hound. You take care of David and have fun!

You have done so much for the sport and history of hunting. I know that David can't wait to read your latest book. Oh yeah, David told me to apologize to you for the way I behaved at the book fair. I'm not usually like that so I'm sorry I misbehaved. Thank you Mr. Bob. You have done so much for the sport and history of hunting. I know that David can’t wait to read your latest book.

Hunting is indeed part of the natural balance of nature--what the Cherokees called Duyuktv. Legal hunters are true environmentalists--I talk about this a bit in my new book. And of course, it is also part of our culture and heritage. However, idiots like the two that you mentioned, as well as the moron that shot the elk at Cataloochee recently should be tarred and feathered. They give the sport a bad name. Keep up the good work young lady. Bob Well said Nannie. Hunting is indeed part of the natural balance of nature–what the Cherokees called Duyuktv.
