Mountain Man Passed Today

[Dogmaster]

R.I.P. Mtn. Man. one of the all time greats. A friend of mine M. Edwards bought this gyp from him as an puppy http://www.thepitbullbible.com/forum...hp?dog_id=3400 she turned out to be a very good gyp. I had several off her that were awesome dogs

[U.G.K]

First and foremost, thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. They have lost a true man. A sad loss to our community because we have lost a true dog man, a dog man in every sense of the word. A living legend in his time and now a legend forever. May he rest in peace. EWO.

VERY WELL SAID. R.I.P

On my very first trip to the dog world, I met Lester Hughes and bought my first Hollingsworth dog from him in July of 1990.

Rest In Peace to the man himself and another chapter in Gamedog History.

Great picture

Thanks.

I still have a video of Truman coming out of his doghouse on Lester's yard + a video of Ch Homer's grave.

Have a plan to convert all of my original video footage to clips for display on here, and will eventually get Homer's grave shot here and on his webpage.

Mountain Man (when I visited him) had one of the coolest yard setups I had ever seen, still to this day.

After checking out the dogs, we started rolling some in a side barn, right alongside the highway

Those "free & easy" days are gone now though ...

Even as an old man in 07. He was nice enough to show us 2 sons of GRCH Two Boy. They were very game dogs.

Damn shame his son isn't 1% of the dogman he was..

I'll miss my friend a lot but, Two Boy wasn't a Gr.Ch. he was never hooked at all.
As for his son not being 1% of the man Lester was....there are very few in the dogs today that rate much higher.

I am very sorry to read this... Rest in Peace Mr. Hughes. Goodbye to a legend and a fine gentleman. My condolences to his family for his loss.

V. Jackson and self met and talked with Mr. Hughes on several occasions. Many times we were all at the same dog shows. Sometimes he had a dog entered. I got to go up in those mountains on two occasions. In the winter it is cold, but not to bad in the Spring and Summer.

I was a younger dog man that was privileged to be among those older dog men, one evening at Mr. Teal's restaurant. Mr. Hughes honored Mr. Teal with a Picture Platt of Mr. Teal and some older dog men of their time era. With Mr. Hughes picture near the bottom. Mr. Hughes may have had two made. Mr.Teal died some years back before Mr. Hughes. The Teal Family may have returned this Platt back to Mr. Hughes for a remembrance of his old friend. The Platt Mr. Hughes kept is shown in a tribute to Him and His dogs on the You Tube.

Mr. Hughes was a soft spoken man that I never saw lose His cool, winning or losing. He will be greatly missed by all, especially his family. If all dog men conducted themselves like Mr. Hughes did in and out side the show ring. The game would be much nicer to participate in. Cheers

R.I.P. My friend.

I don't think we really appreciate this old timers the way we should tell their actually gone... Its just not the knowledge these guys have, its the way they carry them selfs inside and outside the box. they really are gentleman and make it a gentlemen sport cuz those types of people area lost breed and now a days it just a bunch of clowns who just so happen to run into good dogs and don't even have a clue what to do with them..the game just aint the same no more and its only going to get worse over the years.. Theirs no one to set an example or look up to anymore...Just a bunch of cocaine cowboys running around making this game into shit... this game should be one big family, who should have each others backs, no matter what..No hating on each other but just congradulating on the better dogman, when ones in trouble, theirs five more dogman to help them out..We should have BBQ every weekend with beers and trees, enjoying each other company and stories, taking care of each other..I don't no, call me crazy...
