Gills, let me confuse you some more. My late brother-in-law owned 3 coondogs. They were Walker Hounds trained specifically for hunting coons. It was claimed by his hunting buddies that those dogs had 'bugle voices.' Coon hunts were done at night with the three dogs, a couple of buddies and a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey. They drove into the woods, turned the dogs loose, sat there drinking whiskey, and listening to the dogs run and tree coons....most all night. Then the chore of rounding up the dogs and heading for home followed.

I'm not sure but the bugle voices the buddies heard may have been my sister screaming. Her husband paid $1,500 each for those dogs and one can only imagine all the money that was spent on building a special secured pen with its own septic tank, concrete floor, and insulated dog house.
