1939 Hall Coll (Cataloochee NC) He took after it, had a main race down there till the turkey flopped up agin a big log and couldn’t get over it, and there they caught it. 1949 Arnow Hunter’s Horn 31 Rans, he’s big, but he’s still a baby; he ain’t through growen: he’ll mebbe be bigger’n Zing. I don’t think I’d let him run atall with other hounds in a race—mebbe not fore spring—treat him good, buy him some dog feed, an you’ll have a rare good hound. 1970 Hunting Stories 31 Some wanted to cut th’tree, y’know, an’ have another race and catch [the raccoon]. 1976 Bear Hunting 277 That day we got after a big bear, and we had a good race.
