Greetings from Louisiana

[Big Game Joe]

My name is Michael Starling. I have been a houndsman my entire life. Started when I was 6 months old. Grandpa would load me and the bag of bottles and diapers up that Mama fixed up for me, and off we would go fox hunting at night. Been at ever since, except for a few spells when work or health were involved. Currently run Plotts for hogs at home and bear in Georgia. Am 58 years old and plan on doing this till I can't walk to a bayup or tree or take a dirt nap. Have been reading this forum for about a year and find so much helpful information. Thanks for the opportunity to be a member of such a great forum Buddy.
