Spanky i'm with you on this one, Mr. Bubba was a good man.
Seem's like nobody is talking to much about the HOF much these days.
OK new gaurds of the Masters what are yall gonna do?
I know a bunch of very deserving people for the hof. To me 4 men that should be at the top of everyone's list are Leon Canoy, John Hoehner, Robbie Bogue, Danny Morris. The contributions these men have made to the dogs we run today are unquestionably. It would be good to see Leon and Robbie get in this year since the banquet will be so close to their home. Both are getting up in age and have experienced health problems. I don't know how many can get in each year but there are many deserving people. If we look back in years to come and don't see John Hoehner's name on the list well it just wouldn't be the HOF. Several other men that come to mind travel the country to make sure we have good hunts. All of them at least in most people's eyes have unquestionably character and they are Clyde Sutton, Ken Ezell, Larry Ethridge. We can't have the hunts without these judges that give up there time. There are many more those are some that came to mind first. They have certainly been important to our sport.
yes ole don has wallow around a many a nites on his dog box and had some dang good fox races. on the outside i may add. best thing about him is what you see is what you get. dam good man

HALL OF FAME to me aint how u place but how u help keep our sport going. BE hunting for years this man is gold he breeds renos not that doped up hurricanes.
Jerry Martin won his first 3-day hunt in the 1940's and has been field trialing for parts of 8 decades. He has won nearly 50 championships and isn't finished yet.
i would like to add rev. ben joyner to the deceased list of hunters. brother ben help with a many of field trial in northwest louiana and hunted with the likes of hinkel schilling and tommy ray dowden. he had at lease two stud dogs back there in the horn. he love a good wolf race. my last race with him was just outside mansfield, la at the stanley community. he was a very good hunter and man of god. rev. ben had joyner vance at stud during the early 1970 and gus genty before those years. i ran with vance, he had a good mouth and could run a wolf. i can still hear him comeing across those open hills in behind the old store at stanley.
