    Hound hunting??

    yeah Id have to agree somewhat...a lot of the hunting shows on the tube nowadayz are pretty lame, especially when they stopped showing the actual "kill"....Im really not sure what the answer is...I was heavily involved in a pro-gun pro-hunting organization a few years back and have seen a lot of...
