I knew Clell Lee, in the Alpine Arizona area. He lived by Hannigan Meadow. His dogs were very valuable and sought after. A day after Clell Lee passed away I saw a lion cross highway 666 right at Clell’s mailbox!

[@user-bh3uv6vx9g]

Lion knew it was finally safe to cross there! Lmao

46:36 is why Tri Tronics is based in Tucson Arizona. Before Garmin owned them we could go there and get collars for nothing, hand them a broken remote or collar, they would just hand you another one. Best company ever.

[@InterviewsStoriesandTales]

I always heard they were a good company .. Thanks Chuck .. I replied to your email ?

[@farmhand6524]

Tremendous... Thank you

[@michaelshooterbailey9846]

I love the stories about the hounds. And so much what you say is true about them I've seen that happen myself. Thanks for sharing these stories that really takes me back about my own experience. And I love to hear these stories about the man and the dogs that they hunted with and loved 😊

[@InterviewsStoriesandTales]

You are so welcome! Thank you!

[@michaelshooterbailey9846]

☺️there aren't many of us houndsmen left, and it really is enjoyable to hear your good stories 🙏

[@catchemalive]

@@michaelshooterbailey9846 Actually there are a ton of houndsmen left. Probably more dog hunters out there now than ever before. Not saying that most of them really know what they are doing but if they own hounds and hunt them you have to refer to them as hunters. As for guys that have the woodsmanship and knowledge of hunting/breeding dogs, yes there sure ain’t many out there left that totally know what they are doing. Technology has just changed everything now days for training dogs and how we hunt animals with our hounds. It has taken a lot of the woodsmanship out of the equation and the way we can access different blocks of woods makes it easier whereas they use to literally camp out and hunt each animal for days on end. For sure a tougher breed of person than I am!

I can't imagine the testicular fortitude of either one of the two.. Lily or Lee. Sheer amazement and wonder. ESPECIALLY when compared to the 'men' of today, self included. THANK YOU FOR THIS HIDDEN GEM OF A VIDEO. I'M NOW HAPPILY SUBSCRIBED.

[@InterviewsStoriesandTales]

Thank you ... yes those guys were a different breed

[@choke666]

@InterviewsStoriesandTales Just the look of Lily, his eye's say it all.

[@chuckmiller5763]

Being from Tucson who ate in a cafe where Dale Lee had several lion and jaguar hides hanging, they were tougher than tough.

[@overallgreatidea6433]

They are around still. I shared an apartment with a guy who shot a duck in January that fell on the other side of a river. The duck snagged on a log on the far bank. He went downstream about 50 yds, built a big fire, stripped off his clothes, ran upstream about 100yds, dove in and swam across, got the duck, stuffed it in his underwear, and swam back across, landing pretty close to his fire. Dude had thought the whole thing out. That is, until I asked him, "what if you had cramped up and the headlines read "college student found drowned with duck in his underwear""? He said "I didn't consider that"

[@choke666]

@overallgreatidea6433 I'd agree, they are still out there... Farthest and fewest in between.

[@EmmettHenderson-hf1zm]

Loving it

[@keith9875]

When I was growing up in southern Utah many years ago there were a few stories being told about men such as Ben and Dale. Hunters who would follow a track for days until they made the kill. It was a different time for sure and hunters the like of which we will never know again.

[@daleharvey3278]

I had the pleasure of knowing Steve Matthews..who grew up in Utah,,.hunted jaguar in British Honduras, govt trapper.... Hunter's like these are far and few ...now days hounds all have trackers on them

[@whoopwhoop1584]

Got to be tough to live in high desert country where I became a man in Southern Utah there ain't no work the world is a changing my friend

[@daleharvey3278]

Steve Matthes talked about living in Utah..He could only afford outlaw horses that others didn't want...I have an autographed book He wrote, Brave and other stories.... In Humboldt County there was Steve, Ted Bennett who always rode a sorrel mule when I seen him, Bill Ripple,Hoyt Short, and Blue Millsap.

I learned about Ben lily from a knife makers view he forged his own blades he was amazing he would kill bear and big cats with his knives.

[@InterviewsStoriesandTales]

Thats what they say .. pretty unique individual Thanks

[@ScooterLee-ei1ep]

Wish the stories about him were true but he didn’t. Dime store novel stories about what it adds up to. Same thing about Liver Eating Johnson. All bs

[@vintagecapgunsatyourmomshouse]

​@@ScooterLee-ei1epLilly's famous S-curve hunting knife is very interesting blade. Even though many of his exploits are embellished or imagined, he was clearly a very skilled hunter, especially of big cats.

[@vintagecapgunsatyourmomshouse]

​@@ScooterLee-ei1epCrow Killer is a fascinating read, but unfortunately it has been taken as truth for way too long. Last year I read The Neverending Lives of Jeremiah Johnson. I strongly recommend it. If you're not a reader, I strongly recommend Josh @ Wild West Extravaganza. His vidros are fantastic and he does very good research. His video on Johnson is extremely thorough. kzbin.info/www/bejne/boCwn6Z6rql4Z5o

The best hunter ever. To me, it has to be a person that fed the most people with what he hunts. Feeds people with whales every single year. Can hunt anything. And is as humble as humble gets. I knew that person.

I will look him up

@@InterviewsStoriesandTales Saxton Pope's books are good too. We are fond of saying "those were real men back then," but I have a good friend that would take on a six-armed alien with a Ka-bar, just to see if he could whip it. I tell my kids if we are not successful in turning this USA around, they had better acquire some third-world skills, because they will be competing with those who already have them.

I agree with the four hours I never sleep over for hours I do have to say, I don’t like all the killing that we did to the grizzly bear species I love bears

[@allen4758]

I'd like to know more about Milo Hansen.

[@InterviewsStoriesandTales]

who is he?

[@allen4758]

😂 my bad , I meant to say ( Mitch Rompalo ) , the guy who claimed to have a world record buck , it's a strange story the way he handled it,, but he has taken some monster bowkills since then .

[@14goldmedals]

Milo Hansen is from the Canadian Province of Saskatchewan. He shot the current world record typical whitetail buck as listed by Boone & Crockett. I'm in Alberta next door to Saskatchewan and there's been plenty of stories and gossip about that Hansen buck. Did you know that they keep a piece of tape near the base of one antler? The grape vine once said that old Milo and a buddy were doing a little midnight recon during the hunting season and brought a beverage or ten for the night. It was said Milo shot a buck in the truck headlights and it went down but still moved a bit. So he aimed for a head shot not seeing the big rack but his buddy was yelling not to shoot the head! Too late. Milo's bullet grazed an antler near the base and took out some of the antler material. Luckily he didn't blow the antler off! Because anyone that kills a world record deer will make a million dollars easily off of it and usually a lot more.

[@EmmettHenderson-hf1zm]

Sounds like that hound was plott.

[@rickcoots7283]

did ben have onx

No I think he had an garmin lol

[@roygorman6624]

Lily did not knife grizzly bears, that stopped when he left the Big Thicket for El Paso area.

[@stephanmenzel9457]

May be in jour opinion. In my own opinion is Sir Jim Corbett the most honorious and successful hunter ever !

[@InterviewsStoriesandTales]

Really it was Dale's opinion.. and at the time I'm sure he never heard of him

[@stephanmenzel9457]

May I help you ? Sir Jim Corbett was a britisch employee growned up in Northern India nearby the Nepal border in British India. There is a NP there, named by him. He where yery familiar in all of djungle creatures and owned highly respect and friendship to local residents. He shot a lot of man eating tigers and leopards too and wrote books about. As such a tigress, what claimed registrated (may be much more unregistrateds ???) 436 (fourhundredthirtysix !) human beeings. The poor residents where very thankful for elimination this horrible terror .As an succesful storyteller he gave all the fee of his books to war-blinded soldiers. And Last, but not least: I think, it's not right to praise people as ,,Greatest hunter of ALL TIME ". Hunt is different, of course, and everybody of us worldwide hunters is hunting for his own reason and success. A lot of urban pizzaeaters and veggies made front against us. Good luck, good shots and Weidmannsheil from Germany.
