Slash Ranch Hounds

Hardback very good. Everyone has their favorite among hounds and hunting books but Slash Ranch Hounds is certainly among the best in any section. It is very strong on the intricate workings of hounds in pursuit of scent. While not a how-to book, any dog man can benefit from Evans' training tips and hunting techniques, most told within the context of stories. And Dub Evans was simply a good writer, who could render an exciting chase that we can feel today without the need for tall tales and exaggerations. From long experience following the hounds horseback in wild country, he knew that an honest recall of actual events was the best story of all. [excerpt from preface].
