Beautiful film with a lot of good messages. It really is a matter of perspective. Recently a lot of petitions have been coming up from various groups trying to ban hunting, with much of it aimed at houndsmen. Yet what people need to realize is that hunting has the power to bring people together. There’s also a chance for spiritual healing when you’re out in the woods. It’s films like this that need to be shared to keep the tradition alive.
Beautifully done. I knew nothing about this occupation and culture before watching this video. I learned so much about how the dog-men culture unites people of diverse background through its brotherhood. I could feel the care and love that went into this.
Great video. I work under Mr curtis a d work beside Jr. And get the pleasure of watching these guys work dogs on a weekly bases. Hands down some of the best guys I have the pleasure of knowing
Wow! Beautiful minds, hearts and souls in every single of you majestic human beings. I love everyone including Dogman! They are just as majestic as every life form is. I have a beautiful photo of Dogman that I captured in 2018 at Angeles National Forest. I did not see him through the lens, but, I noticed him in the series of shots I took when I downloaded my photos onto my computer weeks later. He blended in with the forest environment, but, had he moved, I certainly would have seen him. If that had happened, my only hope is that I would have showed love and not fear. Peace all you majestic souls of love and light!🕊🙏💞💞💞🕊
Beautiful film with some really beautiful thoughts expressed. Well done and thanks for this. Hunting quail in the pine forests has always been on my list of things to experience but I really enjoyed the sentiments about the artistry and teamwork of working with the dogs. -H
My dad grew up a “farm hand” in Ga. Sent to live with a uncle that lived and work on it. He learned to care and work the owners dogs like this, horses also. A passion he passed on to me. This brings back so many memories.
This is hometown. I love it. As a child I remember running on those very red hills. Both my grandparents on both sides of my family, worked on Pebble Hill and Greenwood plantation. My mother's mother was a school teacher on Greenwood plantation and my dad's father played on the Pebble Hill Plantation baseball team.
10:30-11mins in is absolutely on point. Made me cry as a man thinking back to some talk and stories. The soul in this video is felt through and through. To be a dog men!
I loved this! I have been a Dogman all my life and will continue till the day I leave Mother Earth! You all are a great inspiration and attribution to the heritage of the sport, and I thank you!!!
Nicely done, but wish it would have focused more on the actual dogmen that only had brief exposure in the film. Their story is the fascinating one that needs the focus after having worked mostly in the background for so long. Let them talk more.
It's nice to hear some firsthand positivity flowing from "plantation life". It's easy and obvious to cover the social ills of a past era. I've guided and worked on plantations a little bit. I had not considered this angle, but I'm for anything that helps people reconnect with the land. Most people probably have not experienced a long leaf pine forest or even heard a bobwhite. It's unique. Now, just hearing quail makes me grin a little bit, even when it's on a video.
Great film guys. It really showcases a very “romantic” part of the country with an obviously great group of gentlemen and dogs. Durrell and his wanting to be a cowboy when he grew up - so many of us can relate. Love that you all are living and loving your dream.
Great little film. It’s good to see the thing people love to do. Some people have such a negative view of hunting and dog hunting , this film helps cut through that and shows the beauty of their lives and what they love to do.
Outstanding!!!!! Grew up on a farm in Southeastern NC and my Father raised Pointers and we had eight to ten coveys on our farm that we managed well. Great young man and story teller. I love bird hunting, but would rather see the dogs work anyday. Nothing like seeing a dog lock up and his friends oblidge.
This is a great video I love guiding with my dogs I get to meet new people share my my experiences and let them experience great dog work that they have never seen
Love this!! I grew up around this my whole childhood. Neal is my first cousin and our grandfather Will Anderson was a Dog Man. So many memories of running around the woods of Sinkola and hearing the dogs barking. Outstanding presentation guys. Keep it coming.
A lot of truth in this film. Dogs seem to bring the best out of most people. Dogs are Always ready to give anyone a second chance. Dogs always bring the best out of me, that I know.
OMG...WWWOOOWW!!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THIS @onX Hunt!!!! Recognizing African American Dogmen!!! It brings tears to my eyes!!! My Sweet home state of Georgia!!!
I wish some of these plantations would open up to the houndsmen that chase the very predators that damage your bird population. Bunch of us would love to help with predator control, since many of us competition hunt and don't take many off our smaller private land tract because we hunt for fun. A good place that requires harvesting everything you tree, is a nice place for us to have in the toolbox for working dogs. I imagine it's like quail hunting where just working the dogs, while it's fun to harvest game, you can't just shoot everything, or you won't have a population to hunt. So you can see where having a plantation to hunt where I harvest game that you want gone, is nice since it's not a everyday hunting grounds, so harvesting everything we tree helps everyone.

Excellent video! Nothing more beautiful this side of heaven than watching a bird dog work.

This is my favorite of all the OnX films. Great work. Thank you.
This was awesome to watch . It was educational and spiritual. The entire cast was so genuine. This is inspiring and heart felt.
Never hunted quail but dang, I could feel the brotherhood and smell those pines...very nice set of Pointers, too!
I live in Thomasville and I loved this show. Great men of God that is dedicated to their heritage and culture.
Beautiful. Daughter of a Dogman!

Agreed!
Love this common interest that brings all together. The love and spirit of a dog can blend anyone together and help build unimaginable bonds.
This is a great film. Puts so much in perspective. People like this make up the U.S.. Not the bad you watch on the news everyday
I loved this! I have been a Dogman all my life and will continue till the day I leave Mother Earth! You all are a great inspiration and attribution to the heritage of the sport, and I thank you!!!
this man is so inspiring! he's talking about spiritualism and self enrichment, respect!

I would love to hang out with you guys, and take you deer hunting in NJ. I mean, mules, horses, dogs, and being in the woods. Heck yeah!
very good presentation!! enjoyed it very much and yes it is an art to be a dogman

I reached out to Durrell a few times. Seeing him in a magazine got me into hunting. Good guy.
well done. needs to be series!
This is so well done and a great story that needed to be highlighted. Hats off to onX Hunt for doing this, would love to see more!
Being from Thomaville and having grown up on Loveridge this is neat to see. Please do more!
As a half black male who lives in the north in a city and is a late to the game hunter this is inspirational

Awesome short story! makes me want to get a dog or two. Love the story behind the ppl and the passion for the sport and life of dogmen
Well Done. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Great story, thx for sharing from the heart!! Like all dogmen, I'm thankful my dog lets me be a dogman.
Love this!! I grew up around this my whole childhood. Neal is my first cousin and our grandfather Will Anderson was a Dog Man. So many memories of running around the woods of Sinkola and hearing the dogs barking. Outstanding presentation guys. Keep it coming.

Thinking about my dad and grandfather as we stomped through the woods behind two german shorthairs, hunting the quail.❤
OMG...WWWOOOWW!!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THIS @onX Hunt!!!! Recognizing African American Dogmen!!! It brings tears to my eyes!!! My Sweet home state of Georgia!!!

“Makes em gritty”. I like that.

Absolutely amazing.
I'd like to see the comparison of the dog and horse community around Aiken, SC. Just pondering....
What's the word on the music/soundtrack for this beautil film? Playlist?
Excellent!
Noticed you hunt English pointers, ever worked with LLewellin Setters?
Pretty cool film
I love that song at the end of the video, anybody know who the artist is?
Josh Garrels
Good one!
Awesome.
Makes me want to experience a quail hunt.
I want to go bird hunting with these men.
O god ! I love this!!
Awesome great stuff
Fantastic!
I want a bird dog now! 🤔
1. Incredible cinematography.
2. At 16:20 are they watering dogs out of used laundry detergent jugs? *gulp*
I wondered what he had that for. Eww?
part of the culture, ideal because you can tie it to your saddle and it does not slosh
Heaven!
I am jealous!
Hell ya I wanna be a dog man!!!!
Y'all need a setter! 😂
Yall should do one on dog hunters down here in florida. They are a dieing breed.

I set off looking for crypid encounters w/ dogmen and now I’m here…

Saw very little dog work. Lots of talking , slow motion and music.
Hummm....
