Dec. 7, 1936 LIFE Magazine

[Gary Roberson]

My Great Grandfather, Erskine Outlaw was one of the founders of the South Texas Wolf Hunters Assoc. back in 1920. The organization grew so rapidly that in 1936, LIFE and TIME magazine sent reporters to the Storey Ranch east of Cotulla, TX to cover the meet. There were over 1,200 folks in attendance. 150 horseback riders and over 1,000 folks attempted to stay up with the 257 hounds that were casted the first morning of the hunt. A. E. Outlaw, my Great Uncle was reported to have received a badly bitten finger from a coyote that he had tied on the back of his horse.
Walt Disney came to Cotulla a few years later to record my Grandfather's great walker hound, Tulsa. They used a recording of him running a coyote as the sound track for the movie, Voice of Bugle Anne. I have a sterling silver loving cup that he won at Charlotte, TX in 1939.
Times have changed. I wonder how long it has been since LIFE and TIME favorably covered a hunting event?
