Outstanding Hounds-Roy Jacksons Josie
One of the best dogs that I hunted with was owned by Roy Jackson of Ft Scott, Ks., Gr.Nt. Ch Jackson's Josie
Coonhunters tend to talk about sorry coonhounds and coonhounds that the only way that they can beat them are with their words and not in the woods in a one on one situation.
I lived in Wisconsin and was traveling back to Kansas to visit my Family and had made arrangements to hunt with Roy Jackson and David Hathaway at Ft. Scott, Ks. I was hunting a better than average female out of Kaw River Chief and Kenneth Tinsleys Queen. My only criticism of her was that she was too slow on the coldest track that she would trail, but she would also track and tree coon that most dogs couldnt open on.
On every drop it was Strike, Drive, and Tree with my female only barking on tree. Roys Josie and Daves Jane ran those tracks to catch with such speed that normally noisy Queen ran silent. We hunted all night and each turnout was the same. Josie was a machine! It was never a question of if they would tree it, but only where. I was so impressed that I stayed and hunted another night and it was a repeat of the simple process of strike , track, tree! Leaves were off and we seen ever coon. I HAVE NEVER BEEN BEAT SO BADLY, YET THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT. Josie was the proof that I had been looking for existed! Roys dogs were heavy Mack Twain bred. When Roy raised a litter he only kept three pups, one for Dave, one for himself and a spare. Roy stated that jealous hunters had bad mouthed his dogs so much that was not willing to share. It took me years to talk him out of a chance own some of his Mack Twain dogs.
