Danny King

I thought it was just an article in the magazine but i could be wrong if there is a book I too would love to purchase the book , keep me posted to what you find out , thanks

we will do the article ran along time

I used to have all or those articles, not sure where there at now. I know I put them in boxes so they would keep. I loved reading those stories about Ruff Towns.

Those were some of the best written stories on hounds and the men that keep them that I have read. I wish that whoever wrote them would be inspired to write some more adventures of Rufe.Maybe go back to when he was younger . They reminded me of the Jim Kjelgard books I read when I was a boy. If you want a great story about hounds read " The Bear" by William Faulkner. Hard to find but excellant, and I'm a yankee

wish we could get that guy to write some more

Whoever wrote those in the rabbit hunter did a great job. I really enjoyed them. And, Kjelgard takes me back. Big Red was a childhood favorite of mine.

Some one has to know come on bev do you know

come on anyone

Your best bet would be to contact the publishers of "The Rabbit Hunter" and ask them.

Takes me back too. I read all those Kjelgard booksin the school library. Big Red, Son of Big Red, Outlaw Red. I would never have guessed in a million years someone would have brought that author's name up some 30 years later. Thanks for the bringing the memories back.

I also read Kjelgards BIG RED books after receiving an Irish Setter as a christmas present in about 1952. He would retreive good just would not hold a point long. sorry of subject..i also liked the houndsman.

i love them and everyone i have talked to about them really liked them to,i thought for sure they had to be out of a book already published

Fellow's Nane That Wrote The houndsman is Mace Kelsey. Could Hardly wait each month to read the houndsman then he Quit writing them after the articales about the meth lab wolf crosses. Would like to read more of his stories my self.

Yes, I know...and I've been sworn to secrecy since I found out in 2001. It was a good run, but I'm not sure you will see The Houndsman again in the real near future. There's always a chance, though!
