For the second episode in a row Steve pays tribute to a fallen coon hunter. This episode says goodbye to one of the sport’s most-successful and most loved breeders of Treeing Walker Coonhounds, Winston “Wimp” Aron of Pontotoc, Mississippi.
Steve wrote an article about Wimp Aron that was published about five years ago in American Cooner magazine. That article becomes the foundation upon which this episode is built and explores in detail the descriptions of Mr. Aron’s continuous line of Walker females, each bearing the name Queen and a Roman numeral to indicates its position in the long, long line of Skuna River hounds.
Recorded on the day of Mr. Aron’s funeral, Mark Sumrall and Ricky Campbell, longtime friends and hunting partners of Wimp’s, join Steve to discuss many personal aspects of Aron’s life including memories of hunts taken, conversations had at four AM, and Mr. Aron’s last wishes concerning the continuation of the Skuna River line.
This one is for everyone that knew Mr. Wimp and for all those that aspire to make an indelible mark for the good in coon hunting in the years to come.
