ROY RODGERS?

[arizonabeagle]

now i dont know how many of you boys know that roy rodgers was an avid coonhunter or not
but i was wondering if anyone had any, or knew where i could find some pictures of him with his dogs and such
my great grandpa chester used to coonhunt with him down in kern county, california in the 40's and 50's
my grandpa used to have a box full of picures of dogs, rodgers and all those guys...but he threw them away last year..
i was just wonderin if anybody knew of any?
thanks guys

LOL, he took Dale coon hunting on their honeymoon night.

Russell Hopkins was man that probably had a bunch of memorablia about Roy coon hunting as he use to coon hunt with Roy. Mr. Hopkins passed away last month.

If memory serves me correctly, I have an old Roy Rogers dog food ad with one of his hounds (B&T) in my collection of old hound hunting memorabilia.

Full Cry magazine showed him on the front cover of their magazine back around 1990. Really looked good. Roy was in his car, hand guns for door handles, and the dogs (I think bluetick & walker plus another) were in the back seat with their heads out the windows.

grandpa chester wouldnt keep a dog unless he was a bluetick
