I think the only answer to this is that if a guy is wealthy he either worked hard for his money which means he don't have time for hounds or it was given to him which means messing around with hounds is way to much work! I also think you don't see alot of guys making a business out of training hounds or selling hounds because they all know we are poor and tight with our money. Great topic though! Its nice to have something to read on this site. Its been pretty slim pickens lately.
Not true a houndsmen I met years ago was in fact quit wealthy and self made. He owned a company building power lines. Remember one day him telling me how he bought 7,000 acres in NM completly fenced in and paid 2 million for it. Now it isn't the fact he paid that much it was the matter of fact way he said it, it was like he was talking about buying a cup of coffee. He had good hounds but his setup wasn't anything special.
But, again, when you get pics of that rig, throw them up in the dogbox sectiuon, sounds neat
I couldn't imagine trying to pull of that kind of abuse with a sweet aluminum trailer.
